It's hard to know what attacks are actually being perpetrated by who, as the Turkish government jumps all over any opportunity to exploit a situation for propaganda reasons.
I'd largely agree though that Kurdish attacks generally do not involve suicide vests. However, the suicide vest thing was actually started by the Tamil Tigers, who were also secular. There's the whole paradise thing but a suicide vest is also a very effective weapon in a crowded area. In this case, it looks like the vests were a fall back weapon after they couldn't enter the airport itself.
