The Emblem of Turkey, The Kurdish Problem.mp4

In a timely and personal way, The Emblem of Turkey delves into the unofficial stories behind the pressing humanitarian situation for Kurds in Turkey.
When the European Union opened membership negotiations with Turkey in October 2005, more attention than ever was thrown on the struggle between Turkey and its Kurdish population, one of the country's biggest stumbling blocks on the road to EU accession. For 80 years, the Turkish government has refused to fully recognize its 15-million strong Kurdish minority. In the 1980s and 90s, Turkey's scorched-earth policy saw 3,500 Kurdish villages destroyed and forced two million Kurds into internal exile. to purchase this film you can contact www.movingimages.ca
This film was produced and directed by Jiyar Gol in 2005.

In my comments below i reffered many times to 'both sides'. My intention is not to devide the country or seperate the country. I just used those sentences, because its practical. My main objective is to create a democratic Turkey, where all miniorities have social and culture rights. All this should be attended with the unity of the Turkey.

Once again i want to mention that i do not want to seperate Turkey nor do i support those kind of toughts. I want to underline; 1 land; Turkey

There have been always distrust between the both sides. Mostly because of the 'black' history of the Turkey with regard to the harsh treatment of the Kurds and the seperatist Kurds, who still aim at an independent Kurdish land. Therefor its important that both sides should show some willingness to solve the problem on a fair and negotiateable way. The solution should be accepted by both sides.

And I wonder what Turks are feeling or thinking when they watch this? I feel very bad because these poor people are treated inhumanly by their ''own government''. I feel also very bad because I see a repeating of the story of Armenians When 1.5 million Armenians were slaughtered and driven out from their land that they have been living for thousands years. Now they call it East Turkey and deny everything.

You forget that we saved Kurd's lives from Armenians in 1915 and still we are struggling for that. Also don't forget Chemical Ali.. We rescued and gave citizenship Iraqi Kurds. Which country made that. But you gave nice thanks...
