although I will admit, the PKK is also a terror group, and I don't support them one bit....but i suppose all oppression leads to radicalization and desperate measures......still, PKK are scum.... @
Simple_Person , you're right, Kurds have and continue to face great atrocities, but @
anatolian you're right, PKK has also committed great atrocities.....im not denying that.....I hope the Turks and Kurds can live together in peace.......it is not right for fellow Muslims, especially with a shared history, to be divided on ethnic nationalist lines......that is the mentality of the kaafir...is nationalism on the basis of skin complexion, looks, or culture.....and besides, the answer is CIVIC nationalism, not ethnic nationalism.
What has happened has happened that for once and each group has to pay for their deeds, nobody is denying that. What now needs to be done is looking at the present and the future. We do not know the future, so what leaves is the present.
In Islam there is
no kafir and Muslim or hypocrite or Muslim or polytheist and Muslim or people of the book and Muslim. In Islam there is SIMPLY the oppressor and the oppressed. Now in this war between PKK and Turkish government, we simply ask logical, rational and reasonable questions.
Question 1: What is the reason PKK fights the Turkish government? They(PKK) answers: Kurds are being oppressed.
Question 2: What is the reason Turkish government fights PKK? They(Turkish government) answers: PKK is a separatist organization.
What is the definition of separatist?
===========
someone who is a member of a particular race, religion, or other group within a country and who believes that this group should be independent and have their own government or in some way live apart from other people

===========
Question 3: Why does PKK want to separate the Kurds from Turkey? They (PKK) answers: The oppression has and still is being done.
Question 4: Is there any historical OBJECTIVE evidence that what PKK says is true? Objective evidence, yes as not only PKK says this, but objective evidence points also to this and even Turks admit to this.
Question 5: Is this oppression still going on?
- If yes, based on what objective evidence?
- If no, based on what objective evidence?
As a Kurd and not taking sides (subjectivity) rather looking at all the evidence (objectivity), i even see that it is not really only bounded to PKK. I mean PKK is one thing and Turkey says YPG is part of PKK. For the sake of the argument, lets agree that indeed YPG and PKK are one group. But then is my question what has Barazani (PDK) to have a independent referendum from Iraq to do with PKK? As even Turkey is against this referendum as they say it will bring instability, but they do not care for democratic rights?

Based on OBJECTIVE evidence, what has South Kurdistan (Modern day Northern Iraq) to do with PKK and YPG? I personally see absolutely NO connection rather the ONLY connection that i see is that they all are Kurds.
Question 6: What has Kurds to do with PKK, YPG, when they want to have a independent referendum?
I'm sorry but do i have to chew even more for the person reading this not only directing to you mustafa16. I mean how clear is this that for Turkey as long as Kurds remain separate, it is in their interest. So it has nothing to do with PKK or whatever organization. If it would have to do with PKK and YPG, then Turkey should have kept their mouth shut about the referendum in southern Kurdistan (modern day northern Iraq).
So Turkey is against independence referendum, but Erdogan was all to happy to want to have the presidential referendum. So the Turks have all the rights to choose what they want to do this or that, but others are not. Isn't this called hypocrisy?
I know @
anatolian, the hate that you have makes you crazy when somebody shows the hypocrisy of the Turks. I can't help it. It is one of the characteristics of mine to not keep my mouth shut when i see hypocrisy and injustice.
So it all comes down that really based on the fight between PKK and Turkish Government, it is rather Turkish government who is being the oppressor. Now for you to brand PKK as a terrorist organization, i am sorry but i do not see them as a terrorist organization. A terrorist is one who puts fear in my heart. I am not afraid of PKK nor for Turkish government. So neither one of the two are to me a terrorist organization. All i am seeing is the oppressor and the oppressed. Take it or leave it. Truth is clear form falsehood. I know you do not like those words, you want to give your own definition to things. But things don't work like that, mr balkan i better should say..as you (i am still confused) are so pro-Turk, but have no Turkic ancestry. But whatever..what makes you happy.
