This paper examines the relationship between societal exposure to conflict and support for nationalist parties in the 2018 Turkish parliamentary election. In a qualitative small-n within-country study, two provinces, Gümüşhane and Kars, are examined by using a structured focus comparison. Based on previous research, I argue in my hypothesis that support for nationalist parties should be higher in societies that have been exposed to high levels of conflict violence. However, contrary to my hypothesis, the results of this paper show that support for nationalist parties is lower in societies that have been exposed to higher levels of violence than in societies that have been exposed to low levels of violence.
