First off, I want to say that the end of Turkey as we know it is certainly near. They can change the country for the better or partition it, but today's Turkey is not sustainable. Countries in general tend to have a shelf-life of a couple hundred years before they are replaced with a "new and improved" version, but there is a part of Turkey's present territory that we all know well where most people do not view themselves as fundamentally Turkish, and where the state insists that they view themselves as such. Such situations cannot last for 100 years, historically speaking. Something has to give.
Now as for who "wants" a "war". What we presently have is experienced more or less like a war for the poor in Colemêrg*. We cannot call what they experience "peace". Reasonable Turks I know acknowledge this. However most of Turkey, living far away from this, is able to whitewash what's happening as a few extremists forcing their war on the Turkish army and the local populace (which is not the majority opinion even among anti-PKK Kurds with Turkish citizenship, but it is the view that the state is able to foist on many Turks). I think the state would like to maintain this situation as long as possible, rather than push for greater conflict. It is so easy to control the current situation for their profit.
*Not only in Colemêrg, but it is in the deepest, so I always use it as THE example.
