"how will Turkey negotiate with this facing the pkk and Kurdish nationalism?"
Aside from the coming back of ISIS, that is the major unresolved conflict potential I see.
I see no compromise, the fight between the PKK and Turkey has been too long and bloody. Best case kurdish autonomy is becoming stable and established a bit away from the turkish borders, but the SDF won't give up their weapons to Islamists, if they should become the new government. And why would they?
But I am open for miracles. Like turkey releasing Öcalan to become local president in the kurdish areas in Syria, to start a serious peace process. In the sense of - you get this land, but stop the fight for secession in Turkey. The PKK would likely take that deal.
But turkey wouldn't. Öcalan and the PKK are terrorists and that's it.
