Israel should respond by recognising the Kurdish nation.

Did you know it is still illegal to use the letters W, Q or X – part of the Kurdish, but not the Turkish, alphabet.

The Kurds took up arms against the Turkish state in 1984 with the aim of creating an independent homeland in the mainly Kurdish southeast of the country. So far more than 40,000 people have died in the conflict.

And the European Union want Turkey to become a member state !??

On a daily basis, hundreds of Kurdish women and children die of hunger, disease and poverty in South East Turkey. Turkey continues to commit gross human rights violations against its own Kurdish population.

Hopefully, in near future the countless deaths of innocent Kurdish civilians in southeast Turkey will also draw a modicum of attention by global media and international organisations such as The European Union and The United Nation to convene an emergency meeting to discuss and address the Kurdish dilemma in the worsening politcal situation in Turkey.
