Any country who is threathen by terrorist has the right to defend aginst,
under the international law.
Turkey has the ultimita right since it is right by their border,
US came 10.000 km, to do it,Israel do it,French do it,
why not Turkey,40.000 been killed is not that enough reason,
international comunity must support this and help Turkey to clean it's borders othervise it will come to theirs.
Thank you

How many more mother's will have to cry, how many more children have to be left without a father, how many more wives will be widowed before a radical action is taken? I saw footages of a Turkish soldier that got killed in Hakkari, who was originally from Adiyaman - East Turkey. His mum was singing mournful songs after her "baby" in Kurdish. He is one of the many Kurdish minority within the Turkish army. Why? Why kill your own kind...Why kill anybody. Turks, Kurds, Armenians, Caucasians, Greeks, Jewish...we have all lived peacefully for centuries...What's happened now? Have we lost our touch with our humane feelings. Let the historians deal with history and get on with our lives. I'm Turkish, my husband's Kurdish. Our families have respect for each others cultures and our children are brought up to respect all humans regardless of their ethnicity. What would Mustafa Kemal Ataturk have thought if he was to see the country he helped save from the monarchy of Ottoman Emp being torn apart?

Kurds want their own country within Turkey that will never happen,the PKK is a terrorist organisation and as such has no rights and definetly no legitimate reason for what they are doing.The Turkish flag is red for a reason for all the matrys that have given their lives for our great country and we will all give our last drop of blood to defend it.If the PKK continue they will all be exterminated.
Turkey has a right to defend itself as do all nations.

The one who claim to be a Kurd, claiming Kurds enjoy every
right in Turkey, must be jocking. Let alone the Kurds in Northern Kurdistan, even in the case of Southern Kurdistan,
the biased Turkish press and hateful Turkish establishment refrains from accepting the consepts: Kurds and Kurdistan.
Surley Kurds continue their struggle until their identity is
formaly recognized.
"terrorism" is a bad tasted coinage to cover the state terror
against Kurdish people in Turkey, since the inseption of the new republic.
USA, Britaian, EU and Kurdish authority in Kurdistan Region
in Iraq must impose a peaceful resolution on war monger state of Turkey.

Firstly, Ruben, I would concentrate on getting your own house in order first. Secondly, 6,000 or so members of the PKK to not represent the ambitions of 25 million or so Kurds in Turkey, so enough of this alleged ill treatment of minorities. Turks of Kurdish origin in Turkey openly hold senior positions in the Turkish government. In addition, many Kurds run some of Turkeys biggest businesses. "Turkey for Turks" is an ideological umbrella for anyone who is willing to respect the laws of Turkey - all nationalities welcome!

Kurdish people will get what they deserve(!). Turkey has lots of etnic origin but non of them want a country. We will not let anybody get non of our earth. Did not the USA attack Iraq after 11 september? Then why shall we stop while we're under terrorism. Turkey has peace inside except some of the kurdish people at the east side of turkey. They are being flattered by the USA , that's for sure.. I got lots of kurdish friend cursing PKK..! We're ready for everything to defend our country. I trustfully may leave university if we are needed. All my friends may , too. Do not forget it..!

Give the Kurds the rights they deserve and stop the faschist treatment of the minorities, perhaps then Turkey will have peace within and with its neighboors. Otherwise PKK has the legitimacy for fighting for basic rights for its people. Enough with "Turkey is for turks" ideology, its racist.
