[gone2qatar]

the fact that she can voice her opinion in front of a courthouse and the fact that demostrators can protest show that Turkey is not an authoritarian regime.

yes, the army tries to control peoples of all opinions but how much does it really affect people's lives? not that much. stop bashing turkey and put stress on the military guys who are very dear to israel, usa and some secret agencies.

[TurksSayNo2EUfuckyou]

Kurds treat their women like shit and Turks to blame for it. Why armos and kurds are so obsessed with Turks? Could it be jealousy? If you fucking morons put so much energy on humanizing yourselves, you possibly evolve just like every other cultures. FUCKING APES!!!

[killawazhere]

now this is what i call a freedom fighter

with out any conflict

not like pkk how can they be freedom fighters if there killing innocent people and have been known as a terrorist organisation now....

[killawazhere]

[2pure]

[aslizz]

in french there is a law that if u disagree about armenian genocide, u go to prison. what about that? ppl do a researh about article 301, it says insulting turkishness is a crime and thats all. insulting every nation is must be a crime. this is a brainwashing video

[fjt108]

They have no objective information as there is censorship and writers are prosecuted for their thoughts. Turkey has a long way to go be considered Modern.

[fjt108]

Turkey is a military regime thinly disguised as democracy. You can see from some of the answers below that there are a lot of Brainwashed Turks.

[NamVetBuck]

This commie loving bitch needs to shut her yap !

[fromwilliams]

50,000 women get raped in England ever year.

How about a video about that.

[blueinfinite]

that's a different subject butt-munch - this one is about Turkey, so stop throwing out a red herring to avoid the problems in Turkey? Cabish???

[Keskin1975]

How about free speech in america, the land of the free?

You say something there, you get on "the list" but only if you`re lucky, if not they can lock you up for years or forever without a fair trial and nobody will ever know what happened to you. Go and discuss that.

Turkey is fighting terrorism since decades with over 40 thousand dead soldiers, this is why the military had to be present.

[ssens]

[aeroturc007]

[Spartios]

I admire Turks like Pamuk and this lady for standing up for Freedom of Speech and democracy.

This lady is the real freedom fighter inside Turkey who will not give in to intimidation and lies.

[CilicianAri]

Khojali never happened even dutch observers said

the AZERIS WERE GETTING HEAVY LOSSES ON THEIR SOLDIERS, A DIVERT MOVE, BY THE AZERIS JUST LIKE SADDAM HUSSEIN, WAS TO PUT CIVILIANS BETWEEN THE FIRE SO THE ARMENIANS WOULD NOT RETALIATE TO THE AZERI SHELLING!

SORRY WE WERNT HAVING ANY OF IT

shutup and fuck off mongol.

[GoogleAdministration]

FUCK U BITCH!!!

[knetteroo]

A law against insulting turkishness!!!

The word Turk is an insult on its own.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Turkish retards. Turkey sucks and your president is a homosexual. Like most of the Turkish men. Stop beating up your wifes and move on.

Hmm did I just insult Turkishness.

Oops.

[oundjian14]

Khjaly Genocide is a lie and never happened. Al Jazeera is the best Arab network.

[TurkTurkTurkOiOiOi]

These people are all terrorist supporters and communists. Every country has similar laws. In Britain you can be punished for insulting the Queen or royal family and in other European countries they throw you in jail for years if you think the holocaust didn't happen. They're just trying to destroy Turkey.

Ne mutlu TURKUM diyene!

[CilicianAri]

NO YOU CANT BULLSHIT i live in Britain, YOU CAN GO INFORNT OF BUCKINGHAM PALACE AND SAY WHATEVER YOU LIKE ABOUT THE QUEEN, NO ONE WILL DO ANYTHING foool!

[jankren]

Turkey is so stupid for having Article 301 at all.

This reform is garbage.

[prinsiii]

[hsyn58]

[GaroArmen]

freedom of speech,will label you as a terrorist in Turkey?she is free to state her mind,God creacted mankind to be free,Turkey needs 100 years to be democratic.

[sfedertek]

she is a kurd and a terrorist supporter. You can search for "Eren Keskin" on google for more information

[aquamammal]

Fucking theism. Constantly destroying Earth.

Free speech is very valuable.

XVX for life, R.A.S.H 'til death.

[sana6]

yeah i hope you win! but to all the western viewers that are gonna comment on the hypocriosy of the west hear this: you really think they is freedom of speech in the west. it doesn't take a genius to figure that out, all you have to take is a media relations course in university and you will see all the powers the gov't has to stop things circulating in the media. ever heard of censorship, its all over the world! and we are all too dumb to realize it

[studio7manga]

There is no freedom of speech anywhere, just varying degrees of the oppression of speech.

[sana6]

yeah i agree with you. but that thing is in the east its more apparenet with laws like law 301. but in the west, this oppression is hidden. you don't even notice it, until you really pay attn. banning the publication of funerals of US soliders. in canada, a political that critized israel in the 2006 war was forced to resign, even though his job was a critic! even if she successfully removes law 301 it won't change much, but it def would be an "improvement". an image improvement.

[studio7manga]

Yep, propaganda has evolved to astonishing degrees in the west, Goebbels would be proud. Sad to say most of the populace doesn't even care either, partially because they think they can't do anything about it.

[jklasdfjdfksl]

it is not just outright censorship, although the point that this exists everywhere is well taken. a large part of the US media's failure to present critical views if from informal selection processes that weeds out journalists and ideas that do not conform to acceptable "intellectual standards"; people are selected for their ability to mindlessly adapt to informal policy set for them.

[jklasdfjdfksl]

im not just talking about lunatic journalists here; people who have a different take on issues that are not virtually completely in line with US policy are not selected.

[jklasdfjdfksl]

framing techniques are also used to exclude valid thought and many sides of issues. for example, there will be discussion about an issue, but everyone in the discussion must start by accepting certain ideas that are not even mentioned, they are just taken as the unspoken truth.

[jklasdfjdfksl]

examples: all discussions about leaving iraq start with the idea that the US has the right to be there and only should leave if it is costing too much; or conversations about the upcoming election start with everyone involved accepting the idea that there is no political life outside of voting for republicans or democrats.

[studio7manga]

Agreed, the big media companies have too much power in the overall media landscape, and our democracy suffers terribly because of it.

[Killa8]

God Created Man with free will.Whether that man will do the right thing or not that is another story.Whatever man does it should be between God/Conscience of the man.

I hope you win your case WOMAN!

[VinnyLuvYosi]

yes you have freedom of choice.

but no one is free from consequence of their actions!!

freedom to kill someone or hurt in anyway? pesterlance-words, fists. murder.bigotry lies

false speech- false=not knowing its true, therefore not a lie.

does each sin or evil leads to the hurt of another? currption of others , killing ect

funny freedom is usually only seen as a possitive word.

[Killa8]

Freedom means anything within your God given rights.That is to say, freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of life,etc..

And as soon as you come into interference with other people's freedom than you become the opressor.

[VinnyLuvYosi]

yes yes yes but freedom to have guns.

hate speech. lies, biastry thats proven false.

i am agianst.

i just meant the point that everybodys see it as only a possitive word :)

[jklasdfjdfksl]

this comes from lack of morality in western capitalist culture and shows how perverted the western idea of "freedom" is. there is no recognition or responsibility for the wrongs committed against people, just empty words about having the right to exploit, the right to kill for profit (imperialism, war aggression), the right to use capital and property to oppress economically. recognition of the right to be free from all oppression needs to be recognized; owners cannot oppress to make money!

[VinnyLuvYosi]

yes curruption should be banned aswell.

if i have a company and i make 100000 dollars and i pay 1 dollar a day.i expect and think its fine 4 people to kick my ass then! and with the profit

i make more buisneses , expand it more!and advertise it more

meaning could those who r more rich be exploiting the most

seriously i am worried people have lost compassion / love for all people

if we cared about ALL people. and wasn't selfish in the first place there would be no problems in the world

[thelittlegoldfish]

the strange thing is they would have fought for the goverment of the day ,same as the dumd a'us jews in germany,, that aside ,,

nations need to meditate upon judements of the past, unless ,,its to be repeted

[Agric0la]

Looking to the past has one giant flaw that repeats itself: everyone things "this time" is different. So they do the same thing thinking its different, but it end up being the same.

Ex: invading russia, just dont do it until after global warming makes it have no winter.

[thelittlegoldfish]

the past repeating it self , is a good reason for understand it ,

[sinanian]

Also, maybe you should do a documentary on the Armenian Genocide and point out that many Turks and Kurds have saved Armenians and sheltered them during the massacres. You do better service with that.

[sinanian]

I used to have respect for Al-Jazeera but when I heard that you are making a documentary in Igdir (Turkey) about "massacre" by Armenians of Turks you are encouraging Turkish government's denial of the 1,500,000 Armenians killed and massacred in 1915. Thank you for adding insult to injury! You claim western Hypocracy, maybe you should look yourself in the mirror sometimes!

Unsur akhak el Muslim in Kan Thalimen em Mathluma. Support your Muslim Brothers whether they are right or wrong! Hypocrites!

[MementoExpose]

Okay what the hell is this report about?
