not surprised, Kurds are prevented from using their language and the Turkish state is trying to Turkify them.

I wonder why arabs hate kurds .. they are not non-muslims so it really doesn't make sense to me......

Re: Kurdish uprising in Turkey

Kurds are an iranian speaking people, related to the pashtuns, tajiks/persians, blauch, etc. I think this does motivate most the of the problems their as they do not match with the turks, as well as arabs. Plus, they are an unfortunate yet brave nation whose people have been divided by colonial borders. My prayers and sypathies with the kurds.

Re: Kurdish uprising in Turkey

I heard about that. In fact I read that the armenians told the kurds that(I am paraphrasing), you ate us for lunch, but the turks will eat you for dinner. I don't know how true it is, but I read this. Ill find more info on this.
