  1. The Turkish state is disciplining the Kurds under threat of restoring land to the descendants of Armenians massacred in 1915. No to the Republic of Armenia, but the Armenians of the Diaspora

  2. Turkey must recognize minorities and support full political rights, if its to stay united. Kurdish people

    1. What political or any basic rights Kurds do not have in Turkey right now, can you elaborate on your claim?

  3. PKK terrorism has decimated economy and rural life in South East Turkey. They extort hundreds of millions from the local people and businesses to maintain their vile and murderous activities. They have executed thousands of theirs in “clean ups” and feuds. Of course Turkish security forces are blamed for all. They have kidnapped and coerced the young to guerilla life on the mountains, usually against the will of their Kurdish parents.

    In spite of all its might and past mistakes, Turkish military has not inflicted even a small fraction of the damage to Kurds in general that Ocalan and PKK have. Their elected leaders still continue to worship PKK and the Kurdish Osama, instead of working to better the lives of their people.

    Turks have recognized their Kurdish problem and have been trying to deal with it in spite of the non-help from Kurdish politicians. When Kurds also recognize their Turkish problem, then there will be rapid improvement in all aspects of this ugly conflict.
