Armed Kurdish women millitants, man a barricade, on November 18, 2015 in the Sur district of Diyarbakir. Tensions rose when pro-Kurdish MP Leyla Zana began her oath with "Biji Asiti", or "Long live peace" in Kurdish. The phrase triggered a storm that recalled her memorable swearing-in 24 years ago when she also spoke the language that was then still taboo in public. (Photo by Ilyas Akengin/AFP Photo)
