Turkey - Diyarbakir's Kurds

August 2006
Conditions may have improved for Turkey's Kurds but the future is still uncertain. Following pro PKK riots, 250 children are now facing lengthy prison sentences.

The riots began in Diyarbakir, the Kurdish capital of Turkey, after the funerals of four PKK fighters. Security forces rounded up 250 children from the poor quarters who are now facing 15 years in prison. The verdict will be announced in September. "They were beating us and blaming us for being terrorists," describes Ali Ates. But elsewhere in Diyarbakir, conditions are improving for a select few. The city now has an established middle class and ballet school and the rich are moving to the suburbs.

Kurds and the jewish is one in the same. Genetic based jewish claim kurds are the relativ to jews. Thats why kurds get so much help from the zion jews.

[donkeyzonparole]

Why is nobody talkin about kurdish propoganda against turkish people. Bombing public buildings killing police men and children. They brainwash their own little children to hate turkey and law enforcement. Useing little kids as human sheild. Most kurdish cave shaggers support pkk terror organization with money drug etc. If u hate the turkish country and soil then fuck back off to your cave in iraq or israel. The are the cause of all the bad things goin on down there they good at hiding it like
