Kurds don't want to go North Iraq or anywhere else.They just stay in their motherlands.They only want freedoms and a better life condition.(most of them).

I think some people have meat instead of brain in their skulls.
He is not aware that what he proposes is actually destruction of our country.

We can utlize our Kurdish population to increase our influence of sphere in Middleast, instead of utilizing this potential he proposes something that will destroy our country.

Yes TurQ can

Yes Turks should company with Kurds in that way they can be strong in Middle East.If not,they will be a weak country like today.(I know Kurd Problem isn't the only reason for Turkish weakness)

This sounds familiar... Couldn't the same have been said about Armenians in the Ottoman Empire? My grandparents had big businesses, they wern't pop stars but they did have good jobs. They spoke Turkish and had assimilated in many ways.

However, a way WAS found to weed them out. They were not an inseperable part of Ottoman society... they were very seperable in fact. I don't see how the Kurdish situation is much different by your analysis.

Hovik I actually agree a great deal with what you say about the parallel between Kurds in Turkey today and the Armenians in the Ottoman empire. Both are and were established communities. I cannot imagine the effects of killing or deporting the millions of Kurds that live in Turkey today. My barber is a Kurd, we all listen to Ibrahim Tatlıses, the best restaurant in my hometown is a Kurdish owned Kebab house, my best friend and brother is a Kurd, we have married our daughters to Kurds and vice versa..... Even thinking about THIS paralell can provide a means for Turkish people to feel a little of how it must have felt for the Armenians back then... and provide a certain level of emapthy which I have stated several times in previous posts and which today is totally lacking.

However it is abvious that you havent given much thought regarding your assesment of "weeding them out". Most Turkish Armenians in 1915 and today still carry Armenian names and are Orthodox Christians. If you wanted to distinguish Kurds from Turks you would have a very difficult time, especially in the big cities. There are many Kurds with names like "Ahmet Türk"... now weed him out ! Acttress Hülya Avşar:



..is half Kurdish so how will you weed half of her out? How do you get rid of the Kurds that are running the country? Many also speak only Turkish. Names, religion and ways of life are the same with few exceptions. Frankly speaking, when I look at the "Turks" around me they are all Albanian, Bulgarian, Çerkez (Circassian), Boshnak (Bosnian Muslims), Georgian, Kurdish, Kosovan, Macedonian, Greek Muslims, Gypsy, Pomak, Tatars etc. etc. The question at this point actually changes to "How do you weed the Turks out?"

What I'm trying to say is that Kurds today are somewhat more integrated into Turkish society with religion playing a very important role in this and that is where it differs from the Armenians in Ottoman Turkey.

Kurds must be eliminated, TurQ. They will destroy us in the future. They dont feel as Turkish, so why do you want to force them to stay in our country?
Let them leave to their beloved homeland! They will be happy to live with Arabs.

Brother, what you say is impossible to do and it would be inhumane to commit such an act. Kurds dont feel Turkish thet may be true but they live under this flag too regardless. These people were the only ones who fought with us in independence war, not Arabs, not Persians only Kurds. I have good Kurdish friends who have no problem with Turkish language,state and culture. The events of PKK and the news on the television that shows some Kurdish people sopporting it may be angering you. It sometimes angers me too. But of all Kurds, HADEP gets only %5 of the votes while Kurds make up %20 of Turkey's current population. I am not even considering that we have mixed too much, my neighbour's wife is Kurdish and I live in Istanbul. I think we must form other solutions, for example a 2-4 hours of Kurdish to the people who wish to learn it. Kurds, out of economic and cultural fears breed too much. That is true. But this rate can not last forever ( few years ) in terms of economic capabilities of Turkey and Turkish Kurds .I think if we educate these people, we can make it without harming the our regime and integrity of our country. As a fellow Turkish citizen I ask you to reconsider.
