The Stream - 'The 99' & Turkey's Kurds

[pigeonkid4]

@yklocnykl You're deluded

[onlyme3960]

@eyesofjustice excuse me, but evry state in US has his own legislation, there is an autonomy; hence, "United STATES", in turkey it's not the case, yet there are geographical states and limits, but it's not enough, turkey must learn democracy, each state must have his proper legislation in concordance with the constitution.

Are you really living in america?

you must be really retarded.

[vakasim]

Thing is ; Kurds only care theirselves as do the Turks, both sides are right in fact, pkk wants an independent state, turkey doesn't want to be splitted. I don't know what to say.

Kurds should start somewhere sooner than the establishment of the republic to clear their minds and turks should understand that kurds won't be happy with getting some rights from them, they must settle on the rights.

Actually a very hard situation it is.

[MrLetsdothis21]

"i see the dead pkk members as terrorists but also as humans"

The turkish millitary doesnt the play with Their bodies

Fucking pigs

[ILoveBarcaNumberOne]

lol 'ask the kurds about erdogans human right principles' hahha so funny damn the turks long live pkk

[Warsie]

WTF Star Wars is not a Christian series it's strongly influenced by Buddhist and Taoist concepts. Lucas basically recycled all sorts of mythological stories the heroic epic is not just 'christian'

[Warsie]

@eyesofjusfice looks like it is time to dissolve the American empire then! self determination for all :D

[Warsie]

@aporia82 re America it is not as good as you think. Those movements arguably contributed to the destruction of autonomist ideals/nationalism in black America as well as other things

[MrReoNetro]

Why does he want aknowledgement of Kurdish language in the Turkish law? Then we would need to include; Assyrian, Aramean, Arabic, Hebrew, Greek, Armenian, Hemshin, Laz, Rum, Russian, Lari, Zazaki, Persian, Adyghe, etc etc etc What Kurds need to learn is they are just one of many hundreds of minorities in Turkey all of wich are proud to be Turk.

[onlyme3960]

@MrReoNetro no1 is proud to be turk, except the stupid people who are assimilated and who don't know a fucking shit about their past, if evryone were thinking like you, we wouldn't be here today.

Don't forget that kurds are the biggest "minority" in turkey with over 20mios relatives.

if your not happy to share anatolia, you can go back to kirghistan fucking mongol.

[MrReoNetro]

@onlyme3960 I am pontic greek from trabzon we are here still, there are many armenians hemshin and georgian laz people here too. We are proud to be Turk as well as being greek/laz/hemsin etc Turks = turks, azeri, turkmen, laz, georgians, rum, hemsin, arabs, kurds, zaza's, chechens, tatars, pomaks, serbians, albanians, bosnians, roma, syrians, etc. ethnic Turks are a minority, but this is our state we are free to live here and have equal rights. Why do you want special rights for Kurds?

[onlyme3960]

@MrReoNetro because 70% of turkey are fascists, okay?

because i have had enough of turkish nationalism when infact, like you said, it's a bastard, mixed population, yet they glorify turkish supremacy,

anyway shouldn't we then change the name of turkey to like anatolia? it would make more sense according to you, or am i wrong?

this isn't our state, this state isn't democratic, this state do not recognise those minorities, this state is turkey, it's "one and unique" they say, thats why we fight.

[MrReoNetro]

@onlyme3960 are you delusional? I am Pontic Greek from Pontus/Karadeniz we lived here for thousands of years I'm not going anywhere. You go back to Iran, you perso-fascist nationalist racist! You say you want to fight the Turk, but you don't know the Turk consists of all peoples of Turkey just like the US is made up of hundreds of ethnic groups. Yes we need more freedoms, but for all people in Turkey not just Kurds.

[MrReoNetro]

Kurdish population has virtualy the same rights as many minorities in EU countries. I know there is still alot to change, but you musnt say or think Kurds are treated badly, this is just not the case. Yes, they do have less rights when it comes to self-governance or use of their language in education, but it's not something you can't work out with democracy. No need for violence now. Those times have passed.

[kurdishblood4lyfe]

everyone in Turkey must realize that LONG before PKK there was still a kurdish problem

[rashaenka]

Give the Kurds their own homeland.Yes, curve out parts of Turkey,Iran,Iraq & Syria to give these oppressed people a homeland since they were there before these states came.

[fenersevedien]

mr Kani was won this one,

also dont forget about the 6 Turkish Soldiers who where captured and Realesed after 24 hours. by the pkk

Kurds are the official Middle Eastern People.

[JuanVoyce]

“The Stream,” has the smartest mix of video, social media, and guest interactivity to date. Will this become the model for the “new” newsroom?

[Hillsillverr]

hahaha wham bam islam

[Karl998]

Funny thing about Iraqi Kurdistan: their policy toward THEIR minorities is very similar to how Turkey treats its Kurds.

[djaked]

@Karl998 Zing.

[kurdishblood4lyfe]

@Karl998 clearly you haven't been to Iraq when I went to Silemani there were mosques synagogues and churches next to each other Kurds have always been like this, Assyrians from Baghdad are all moving here cuz of the racism they face in Baghdad

[Karl998]

@kurdishblood4lyfe My Kurdish brother, the way Turkey treats its Kurds is nowhere near the way Assyrians are currently treated in Baghdad. In Baghdad, we Assyrians face religious discrimination (not racism). No doubt that Assyrians are much better off in the north since there's less *religious* discrimination, but the Kurdish government there is undertaking a policy of slow Kurdification of minorities (not unlike the Turkification of Kurds in Turkey). The KRG calls us "Kurdish Christians".

[kurdishblood4lyfe]

@Karl998 My friend I dont know if your aware of ALevis but that is my faith and we have faced massacres in many provinces in Turkey the reason my family left to Canada was because of the KahramanMaras Massacre But I share the same view with you and I want the Monkeys Talabani and Barzani out

[aporia82]

world has many examples for successful and peaceful equality movements. in india, in america, in southern africa. the only thing the kurds did was to take guns and say we are victims. if you choose violence as a method that makes you equally wrong and it harms your rightful demands.

[saadasim]

Israel is aiding Kurds to get back at Turkey. Follow the money.

[Karl998]

@saadasim So they've been aiding Kurds for years and years to get back at Turkey, Israel's greatest ally in the Islamic world until very recently, for Turkey's actions within the last few months? Follow the timeline and logic.

[zz773]

Islam is a disgusting religion that recommends the death penalty for apostasy.

It's not surprising that Islam is so fucked up given that it was founded by a guy who raped a 9-year-old girl.

[Waranle]

@zz773 you mother is a disgusting you piece of shit, but as a dumb motherfucker like you, how old was Jesus Mother when she married :) could you answer that question you fucking twat, could you do it?

[zz773]

@Waranle

Who cares about Jesus' Mother?

[Waranle]

@zz773 lol, it hurts right? it does, you fucking piece of shit

[zz773]

@Waranle

How so? I don't have a religion.

[JuanVoyce]

I agree with the Kurdish gentleman...but I would go one step further. The Turks should leave Anatolia altogether and move back to the Mongolian plateau (their homeland) and give Constantinople and the Hagia Sophia back to Christendom.

[arkabahce]

@JuanVoyce As Turks we can do this ,But there is only one rule to let it happen.. You must kill all Turks.. If you can We are here, Not in constantinapole WE ARE IN ISTANBUL...

[YiannisThiakos]

oh, dude. every conversation is refering to a religious propaganda. Even the SUperheroes are religious propaganda. Thi sis the basic reason why Europeans cant have logical conversation with muslims...

[JuanVoyce]

In Islam, shirk is the sin of idolatry and polytheism. What are superheroes if not god-like characters?

[31caTLaQsTyLa81]

If you leave Islam you don't die.. I know people they leave the Islam and the life .

[WeLikeDanceMusic]

@NiklasKing87 exactly right, all religion is bad, but does Christianity kill people who leave the church? no, it has become less and less fundamentalist and has much more freedom, you die if you leave Islam. fuck them
