Kurdish New Year festival turns violent - 23 March 08

[MichaeljacksonAFG]

We call it also Nawruz

greetings from Afghanistan

[csat35]

so why didint the police attack the kurds in istambul? They believe if we attack the heart of kurdistan, where 1 million people can to celebrate. Then we can stop this, and no peacfull movments can take place i.e PKK. But this only makes the situation worsen.

[csat35]

Firstly its only tlking from the police point of view, about how the kurdish protesters started it. Kurds were peacfully celebrating the kurdish new in diyarbakir in the first place, you can check better humanist videos on youtube and you will see. The police came because they dont want the kurds to celebrate a peacful new year in the heart of kurdistan, diyarbakir. If you listen carfully tot he backgorund, you can clearly hear people chanting Apos name in istambul.

TERRORİST TURKEY...

[raidenor]

id a votar cada 4 años a partidos que defienden a ls empresarios y k despues a ls ciudadanos no nos pregunten nada mas: como puede ser la reforma laboral, educativa y privatizaciones de los servicios publicos... Esto no es democracia! Trabajar entre 8-12 horas cada dia y en muchos casos sin dias d fiesta y ser mileurista y no tener vivienda... esto no es democracia!! Hay ciertas libertades en este k se tienen qu conservar, pero d democracia no hay! Solo podemos elegir lo qu queremos consumir

[varnastan1965]

before turkey applying to EU 1st should apply to the human race, it's a brutal terror state

by killing and torturingchildren and women turkey will not achieve it's objectives to assimilate and annihilate the kurds in turkish kurdistan

[crazywolfhitman]

this was an meeting organised by a terorist group pkk and its supporters. if they had a peacefull meeting police wouldnt touch them, but some provoked police by throwing stones at them, this is the results, terorists will contunie using civilians as shields while they are in their safe places.

[alex26london]

kurds are terrorists and rapist people

[alex26london]

you are asshole motherfucker, turks are proud people and will be forever

[muthapukkin]

people , dont mind on turish people , we all know they are weak in strength and in mind.

[afrircans1970]

This is NOT Islam. Islam is freedom. Freedom to say what is on your mind! To be attacked because of saying "out-lawed" slogans???? This is not Islam. This cannot be.

[EyesoreII]

It's interesting actually that Ocalan has now stated that he is against violence, and wants Kurds to look for a peaceful solution. I really don't know what to think of that.

[erenerenay]

Don't you think it is a little late to say that after murdering 30000 civilians? What would you think if Bin Ladin started to talk about a peaceful solution?

[ukproducermusti]

We as Kurds are use death by turks, arabs and persian therefore 2 is a relatively low death toll for us, we gave more victims in the past to celebrate our ancient tradition of newroz!

[parastina]

i bet u are not a kurd

[jinirojhalat]

Pecace and freedom to kurds.

[howlingpunkin]

wow, the world is so fucked up now. the problem with islamic is not exclusive to turkey. the fire will soon spread to entire europe in no time! the US will eventually suffer from its inconsistent policy for sure. let's just wait and see!

[tottiaytac]

fuck police fuck turkey they didnt let we as kurds celeberetion our newroz fucking turks we burnt thier homes and thier cars bcs they have killed one of our friend and he was only 20 years old fuck turkey newroz piroz be REVENGE REVENGE REVENGE

[EyesoreII]

"As news spread of a death in yesterday's demonstration, fresh violence erupted. Police say they move in because protesters chanted illegal slogans in support of Kurdish guerrilla groups..."

Illegal slogans, wow, fuck article 301. What a dismal state it is when a government brings charges forward for people who raise the possibility of conscientious objection, who write about fictional characters who talk about the Armenian genocide, who even somewhat criticize the government. This is fascism.

[EyesoreII]

I should add that Turkey even bans Youtube. There are a myriad of examples of censorship in Turkey and if you are convinced that the Kurds are overreacting, please rethink what you've been taught.

[erenerenay]

Of course it is not because illegal slogans, it is what this media tells to you. The official celebration was on the 21st but ethnic seperatist groups preferred to do an illegal demonstration on the 22nd and they attacked with stones and molotof cocktails to the police. But of course you don't care about the truths. What would the USA government do to me if I claimed in an illegal demonstration that Texas should be independent?

[SarkoHamaAmin]

Texas n Dyarbakir is the same?kurds lived on that land(now called turkey)b4 turks n still live on it n its their land so it must be run by owners not invaders,duarbakir,mardin,batm­an,wan n others r kurd's lands n a part of Kurdistan n never be turkey never..bji kurd u kurdistan

[liberta1975]

for northafricano, Turkish gov. they call them selve they are islam by that way they take kurds and turks vote,50 percent of those people vote them only cos they think they are religious. i m asking u. This movement with USA and ISRAIL

[liberta1975]

Thank's so much to utube to stream objective publishing. and thanks to aljazeera tv and their web site that they have been so objective, they have to know that in england they are number 1 channel station. i do watch tele only for news and sports, aljazeera and roj tv are the only channal's i watch every day.

[northafricano]

very sad for the people who take nationalism above Islam and brotherhood.

[liberta1975]

i think everybody saw what kurds want. kurds want freedom like every other free comunity's, israil and usa must stop sport turkish army with their money and gun's to kill kurd's some turks belleive they will sort out problem with overpowering and killing, everybody got to understend the only solution is MR OCALAN's freedom and an agreement with pkk.

[dancehallreggae]

mother fucker bastards,they burn ambulances, break windows of the school, fight with the police and later they say we r the poorest in the turkey,i would not give you even a bread,mother fucker bastards,stay in east,dont come to istanbul, or mediterrian.

[EyesoreII]

Look up the ANC in South Africa. The reason people resort to violence is because they have no other recourse. The Turkish government is so fascist and stubborn that they will never give equal rights to Kurds, Armenians, et cetera and continue to deny that genocide ever took place, deny their mistreatment of Kurds, and deny their blatant violations of human rights.

Please do not look at their actions in isolation, look at what they are reacting to. Otherwise that would just be ignorant.

[ukproducermusti]

the artificial mentality in turkey wont understand your point eyesorell, any1 who falls outside the turkish oath is a traitor, hence should be eliminated.. thats their engineered mentality..

[KurdiZazaAlevi]

teh same said the iraq and saddam as well but we fucked saddam and iraq

we will fuck turkey as well never mind only be patient

the best turk is deat turk

biji Kurdistan

[EyesoreII]

Don't say that, not every Turk is a stubborn nationalist pig, what the government does to the Kurds it does to the Turks as well (maybe not literally but I hope you see what I mean - Turks did not ask for a government like this)

[jerkinp]

Kurds will never achieve independence or some form of autonomy. Their greater Kurdistan (land of the Kurds), covers across eastern Turkey, northern Iraq, northwestern Iran and smaller parts of northern Syria and Armenia. Only the Kurds of Iraq have been granted autonomy but no independence.

[pkk1990]

Freedom For Ocalan Kurdish Leader !! Turkish Police is teror , hes beater woomans and chealdren ! Viva PKK

[IKLOCT]

After Kosovo's independent, separatists/independent movements everywhere are greatly emboldend. From Tibet to Kurdistan, the things are starting to heat up. Thanks to EU and US, many countries like China, India, Russia, and Turkey probably will face renew challenges from local independent movements for next several yrs.

[ukproducermusti]

I would like to point that Turkey was the first country to recognie Kosovo, the Turkish public seems to be happy with it because Kosova has Turkish elements ad are muslims, to some extent they support independence in Abhaziya (Georgia) however its not an official stance as Georgia is an american partner! looking at the populations and attrocitie people faced, there are other regons in the world to become independent before Kosovo.
