HAVING AN IDEA WITHOUT KNOWLEDGE? how?
There are many people who has no knowledge of turkish history and politics. but, interestingly, somehow, all of them have an idea about these stuff. i wanna ask them how they could have an idea about kurdish people because questions are one-sided and also ignorant-sided. what books did they read? or just heard from someone a couple of words and understood this issue?
there are many different origined people in turkiye like sunni, alevi, kurd, laz, cherkes, shafi, hanefi and so on. but, as a result, they are all turkish. if they come up with an establishing a new country for themselves, i dont know how many pieces do we have to divide turkiye to! but, this is impossible because all people in turkiye live peacefully except the little ones that filled up terroristic thoughts. pkk, which was founded by some racist kurds, have killed more than 30 thousands of people without distinction whether the victims were kurdish or not, children or not, european or not, american or not.
now, i cant understand why people comment about kurds' freedom, this is not related to kurds, everybody in turkiye is against these terrorists including kurds. so turkiye is only dealing with these terrorists who has camps in north iraq to be trained to kill people.
u know, israel bombed the whole country, lebanon, because their a few soldiers were kidnapped by hizbullah which is a terroristic organization like pkk. so if our people goes on to be killed by pkk, to invade iraq is clearly our right.
turkiye is against all terroristic organizations, but i cant understand why the europa or the usa choose which organizations are the terrorist according to themselves. but dont forget; all terroristic organizations purpose something and they can hit you one day to even you dont see them as a danger.
rillifan, i mean maybe more than for one thousand year, in anatolia, not only kurds but also there were so many different generations, too. but as a result, now, they all have turkish origins and in turkiye, turkish is the top identity. so how can you separate these origins from each other? why? you can ask this question kurdish origined people living in turkiye and understand what the difference is.

I have no particular position on the issue of Kurdish Independence but I do have an issue with distortions of historical facts.
The Kurds were in Anatolia and parts of modern day Irag, Syria and Iran long before the Turks migrated to the region.
Xenophon, the ancient Greek author, describes fighting the Kurds in his book the Anabasis which was written in the 5th century BC long before any Turk lived anywhere close to modern day Turkey.

Turkey wonders why they aren't part of the EU, "HELLO" ! It doesn't matter wether you want to be part of it or not... your going backwards not forward! I think Turkey is a beautiful country. Been there. But, the closed minded people make me sick. You talk about past history. Wonderful. But, what about This day! Your economy sucks. What is the average person doing about Turkey today? Complaining, whining, but you don't accomplish anything! People will never be more than what you are today, until you can have enough guts to stand up to your own government! The government only takes care of themselves, not the country or their people. Look at the cars they drive, their homes, while their own people are eating out of the garbage. Shame on the average person! I realize this didn't have much to do with the original question...but I felt like giving my opinion any way.

The confines between countries have been drawn centuries ago, it should be out of debate, trying to prove who is the real, more real, but very real owner of the lands of today. There are certain international agreements shedding clear light on such issues...
So separatist Kurds must either accept being a part of the country which is all our country, else they should leave.
