Listening Post - Feature: The PKK: 'Rebels' or 'terrorists'?

[MrMrkurdish]

All Kurds are freedom fighters

[buzfatik]

of course ,they are terrorists!

[abrezz961]

@buzfatik Fuck off! If your people were being persecuted and killed just because they were a different ethnicity, wouldn't you fight back? Think before you call PKK terrorists. They are fighting for freedom and civil rights. Half of the fighters are women, so they are not fighting cause Allah said so, they have a legitimant reason to fight for freedom against stupid Ataturks followers (donkeys)

[abrezz961]

Stupid Turks, back in the 80's and 90's they would grab innocent Kurdish farmers or people that had nothing to do with pkk and torture them and say "we have captured many pkk today". Turkish army massacred tens of thousands of innocent people, men, women, and children just because they were Kurdish.

[Kurd4Kurdistan]

biji KURDISTAN



[4rchdru1d]

When someone kills innocent civilians and attack civilian buildings like schools, hospitals, libraries they are terrorists as defined and they should be killed and eliminated wherever they are anyone supports terrorism whether PKK, Hamas or Al-Quaida they are terrorists and must be killed for peace as well you do not negotiate or talk with terrorists this is the idea.

[KurdishSniperr]

we kurd must fuck ataturk's grave one day

[ikweetnietook]

Press freedom, human rights even for childeren is unknown in Turkey.

[KitKat5533]

Nationalas or uprising???

[mbayram5405]

Terörist olan emperyalist barbarlar ve onların uşakları devletlerdir. Halkların bu haksızlığa karşı verdiği mücadele ise haklı ve meşru özgürlükleri için verilen mücadelerdir. Bu terörist devletleri halkın katillerini iyi tanıyın bu askerde olabilir gerillada farketmez.

[RojevTV]

--- Tags for this if you allow the facts, unfortunately, the global media turn a blind the reality of what is going on in Turkey!

watch?v=JM8Z8SluhKM&feature=wa­­tch_response_rev

[RojevTV]

In fact, international media presents the facts do not do it to boil the Kurdish people of Turkey!!

If we ask why PKK is fighting the Turkish army?

Because in South East Turkey located more than 20 million Kurds, but Turkish fascist regime does not recognize their rights .. Kurds as a defense and defending the project and are struggling to demand their legitimate rights ...

[cat22203]

@RojevTV Exactly, and that's why Turkey is NOT a democracy by any means because in an advanced democratic state the rights of the minorities are being recognized and the minorities are being protected, there is religious tolerance and freedom, churches are not being turned by force into mosques (like in Turkey), there is respect for the cultural heritage of other minorities and is being protected, there is freedom of speech, press and the internet, the rights of women and children are being

[cat22203]

@cat22203 recognized, advanced and protected, women can be elected in higher political and other positions without their gender being an obstacle, and so forth and so forth...I am sorry the truth hurts, but we start saying things with their name if we want Turkey to REALLY become a "democracy" for the good of its people and primarily the good of the neighboring people since we all know that Turkey is the bully of the area

[noWatimsayin1]

erDOGan is a disgusting human being along with almost everyone in turkey with any kind of power. Free Kurdistan

[devrimhan1971]

free my ass !

[KurdProduction]

Our oppressors may be strong, better connected and supported by the greedy in the world. But their love of oppression can never match our love of freedom. We declare to the world that we will live in liberty no matter what the cost. There is no power on earth that will deny us our birthright.

Do not forget about the Kurds!

Support the Kurdish people!

[KurdProduction]

For years now, we have been fighting to assert our identity, to claim our history and to live on our lands as Kurds willing to coexist with others but never accepting the yoke of others as slaves.

[mispistoleros]

International law experts mostly agree that there are 3 groups which meet all requirements for statehood: Tibetans, Palestinians and Kurds. Uighurs lack only 1 requirement, a long history of de facto independence.

The map can be redrawn. Iraq and Israel are both incongruous and artificial states. Redistribute their territories to create a Kurdistan and Palestine.

Mossad has an estimated 80 front-businesses just in Mosul. Best for the Kurds not to get involved with Tel Aviv or the Kosher Nostra

[MrBabaKurdo]

This goes to America : You have close Roj Tv, you do not understand what this is. Roj Tv says the right face of turkey !! Free Kurdistan !!

[SwissKurd]

How the so called Humanitarian " Global(ization) Community" will turn their backs on People like the Syrians, The Islamic Republicans, and The Kurdish Socialist Parties. simply because of their Religious and Political differences !

[TheKURDPRESS]

KURDE AZAD U YEKITIYA KURDISTANE AZAD..... FREE KURDS AND FREE KURDISTAN

[mustanggundam]

2003-2004 10th SFG O.D.A. 063 paid P.K.K. soldiers as supplemental security for their compound in Samarra. I never personally fought along side the P.K.K. but an entire platoon of my company did along with the SF team. I say give the Kurds at least the option of voting for state hood and independence from Turkey, Iraq, and Iran.

[jonahfox]

FREE KURDISTAN!!

[KitKat5533]

I could see a possible uprising in Turkey??? Is that what they fearing??

[blunt1984]

They have journalists in jail than China or Iran, but the US government still hails Turkey as "a model democracy for the Middle East".

[MyChemicalBromance]

@blunt1984 They call it a model democracy because it let their corporations in. There's even a Best Buy in Turkey.

[joyo17]

Turkey is just protecting its country. The US does the same thing.

[SSTTEEAALLTTHH]

@joyo17

No, governments are trying to maintain their grip on power again. If you seriously believe anything you are told by the government about 'the security of your country', you need to get your head checked. Fortunately we have the Internet, and no matter how hard they try, governments will lose the War of Information.

[joyo17]

@SSTTEEAALLTTHH I am not Turkish. The US government calls everyone who goes against them terrorists. But others countries can't do the same? The fact is that Americans are constantly told that they are fighting terrorists and and these wars are to keep their country safe. Do you know what people in Afghanistan and Iraq call Americans? They call them terrorist. Isn't ironic?

[SSTTEEAALLTTHH]

@joyo17

I don't take sides. Screw all governments (and other systems of control).

[ikweetnietook]

@joyo17 Exactly, Turkey and the US are the same piece of shit, come out from a different assholl.

[jackjillsean]

yeah the Jews are making Him kill media freedom.

Also the Jews are the reason your mom hated you.

[DarthNazer]

Long live Turkey!

Greetings from Pakistan.

[MrBabaKurdo]

@DarthNazer i fuck you hard and your mother too !

[novazee]

Another great investigative report by AJ.

[ZorkFrobozz]

Why should anyone listen to stories about media freedom when told by CIA and Zionists?

[iffi0014]

This is Good. the mainstream media is controlled by zionists Just like AJ.

[iffi0014]

Al-jazeera is zionist scum

[fjuli]

bu yüzden mevcut hükümetin endişe duygusu yol açabilecek son zamanlarda meydana gelen siyasi koşullar dolayısıyla mağdur olan kitle iletişim araçları

[ddsharper]

Like America is any different.

[cat22203]

@ddsharper Yes, but America is not trying to enter the European Union (not that the Turks are Europeans in any way, but this is another issue) and portray itself as an advanced "democracy" when we all now that Turkey is a theocratic autocracy of the Islamist kind (and that's why their best allies are other Islamist theocracies like Iran and they cannot get along with real Democracies like Greece, Cyprus, Israel, France, Germany, and so forth)

[shadowq2]

@cat22203 I hate islam too but this is not the case. This is not about religion, this is about ethnicity. Kurds are muslims too. And Turkey is more democratic than any other muslim country anyway, they are just want to protect their national sovereignity and integrity, separatists can suck a dick.

[cat22203]

@shadowq2 I think you are wrong. I live in Europe, the main problem of the Germans and the French and the Austrians and others for not allowing it to enter the EU despite the developed economy is this pretentiousness: they like to portray themselves as a secular "democracy" when the party that rules is a hard core Islamist fanatics who support in social and international relations not the secular aspect but the Islamist rules. This means a covered theocracy. You should read the stuff (continued)

[cat22203]

@shadowq2 (continued) so you should read and listen to the stuff Davutoglu says to the Turkish immigrants in Germany and Austria every time he visits and you will understand. It's high time we started saying things with their name and not with the propaganda Turkey likes to portray itself in the eyes of the world. BTW, I do not hate Muslims, I hate Islamists (what Erdogan and his gang are...American Turkish say that all the time, so please do not spread lies)

[mispistoleros]

@shadowq2, You're right; this is about ethnicity AND culture and Kurdish culture is one of the oldest on the planet. Ankara will be hard pressed to give up some of its most fertile and resource-rich territory. Most int'l law experts concur that Tibetans, Palestinians and Kurds possess all the requirements for statehood. Uighurs only lack a long history of de facto independence.

Iraq and Israel are both incongruous, artificial states. Redraw the map to create Kurdistan and Palestine.

[lordblazer]

@cat22203

theocratic. That's a bit extreme seeing that Turkey is obviously a democracy that is extremely secular. So much so that religious paraphenlia was banned for such a long time in public buildings including universities. Anyway having spent time in Turkey I know it is far from what you described it as. Media freedom in Turkey though is questionable especially if you question the current party in power. That is a scary aspect, but Turkey is far from theocracy.

[cat22203]

@lordblazer Erdogan wants to have all women's head covered in Turkey, he does not stop arranged marriages of 10 year old girls with 50 year old men, on the contrary supports this Islamist practices, the government is not doing anything for "honor killings" of women (clearly an Islamist practice), he preaches with Davutoglu to the Turkish immigrants in Europe that they should never assimilate, (continued)

[MuKo18]

@cat22203

that's really stupid of you. He doesn't care if they cover up their hair or not.

He has nothing to do with these marriages. They were even there when he wasn't even born. And oh yes, he does a lot against it. And these honor killings don't have anything to do with the believing of muslims... it's more in the east and more a "töre".

[cat22203]

@MuKo18 You know it is true, truth hurts! We hear it all the time by Turks who immigrate in Europe and the USA and they are moderate Muslims, good people who want to live a peaceful life with equal rights for their women, and they say: "This Erdogan government wants to have all women's heads covered, he is an Islamist fascist, we couldn't take it and we left!" Just see the photos of his wife and immediate family: all women are obliged to wear scarves on the head and "obey" the man...

[cat22203]

@lordblazer (continued) they are "Muslim Turks" above all and they should demand "independence" (which has caused many problems to countries like Germany and Austria), they have set a new Ottoman policy for the Balkans trying to revive the Islamist way of the Ottoman Empire and not respecting the established democracies there...so please: anybody who is a little intelligent understands that we are talking here about an Islamist party that is governing Turkey to destruction!
