Kurds are right to complain about Turkey’s inhuman treatment. Two dozens of ethnic Kurds have experienced it when spending their young years in jails, surviving tortures and persecution,” Tageszeitung German newspaper reports.
“The conflict between Ankara and PKK units has left a mark on their fate. Certainly, today Kurds may be proud to have their deputies in the Turkish parliament. Kurdish editions are sold in news-stalls. There is a possibility of teaching Kurdish language in schools. But one should not be surprised at absence of love towards the Turkish homeland. Kurds are fed up with the role of Ankara’s beggars. Not to mention thousands of armed rebels who reject any compromise,” the article says.
“However, separatist aspirations are not characteristic for all Turkish Kurds. It’s the aim of their political leaders. Official status of Turkish minority doesn’t satisfy them, since a Kurdish state has actually appeared in the north of Iraq. Kurds, who feel as a whole, are aspired to a political unity. Ankara’s aim is to prevent it by use of force. The Erdogan government seems to have no other concept of resolution of the problem.” The article says, Deutsche Welle reports.
