Resum:
This study aims to analyze the separatist terrorism problem of Spain and Turkey in order to highlight the similarities and differences. The countries different as Spain and Turkey have been affected by the separatist terrorist attacks. The comparative study of these two terrorist idiosyncratic phenomena puts the debate on the argument that even in different territories and with different historical backgrounds, similar problems could occur. The focus of the thesis based on the study of two historical problems, which later emerged the armed terrorist organizations. It also includes a brief analyze of the issue of IRA in Northern Ireland in order to see what had been done in the United Kingdom to solve the terrorism problem, which have taken into account as a reference point for the cases of Turkey and Spain. The thesis studies the actual situations of the problems and their possible future in both countries.
