I agree with Abdullah that so many people support PKK but what other option but selfdefense does one have when Turkish military attacking your people, you have secondclass rights and politics is not really an option because Turkey is not really a democracy?

And you also say 2/3 million voted for a “PKK related party”. That’s an outright lie. I will assume you are talking about the Kurdish DTP. They (and all the legal nonviolent pro-Kurdish parties that preceded them) are a perfect example of how democracy in Turkey doesnt exist. Everytime Kurds set up a legal party in Turkey, the Turish government says it must be PKK (like youre saying) and shut them down.

You can’t keep Kurds down and expect them to do nothing. PKK is a result of Turkish racism, not a cause.

Roj TV = PKK.
Kurdistan TV = KDP
Kurdsat = PUK.

Frankly these generalizations are absolutely baseless and they have been used beyond belief by the government to justify the systematic and brutal abuse against the Kurdish minority.

It goes without saying that most Kurds have nothing to do with the PKK. This is like saying that all Muslims are directly involved with Hezbollah, which is nothing but an outrageous generalization. Tons of peaceful Kurds (including children and the elderly) have been humiliated and abused by the Turkish authorities without any form of legitimate reasoning. It is purely racist and oppressive, and Turkish people should be aware of what is happening in their name.

Most Kurds do not resort to PKK tactics and are being imprisoned for their writing, singing, and for practicing their own cultural rights within Turkey. Associating their media with terrorism (without sufficient proof) is just a cover for an extreme form of censorship that shouldn’t be tolerated by anyone who values freedom and equality.

I am sad to see their media being banned in various other countries.

Last month, little children singing, this month, Kurdish TV. In Turkey, being Kurdish = terrorist. This how they silence Kurds.

The Danish government’s decision should be respected because their investigation of clips from the TV station that were hand-picked concluded that there is no incitement when a TV station simply broadcasts what’s actually happening in Turkey. (Just because Turkey wants to censor the truth doesnt mean Germany is right to help them do so.) Also, there is no no proof of any connection between the station and any group be in PKK or anything else so those statements by the German officials are just an outright lie being echoed from the Turkish regime.

(I think the Danish laws are better, but one has to accept the German laws, too).
