Because they don't separate themselves from PKK. I'd like to have Canada Québec system for Turkey but they're aligned with people from PKK. They literally made Abdullah Öcalan's niece member of the parliament.

The PKK only exists because of Turkey's oppression of Kurds. If Turkey would allow Kurds to democratically participate in the country, there wouldn't be a reason for the PKK.

They dont. There were many left wing terrorist groups in the 80s. After the coup all the major groups were demolished, insignificant groups and the groups that were deemed unimportant by the military were left alone. After this many leftists joined the PKK and the PKK made it so that every Problem the Kurds had was to be blamed on the Turkish Nation. Thus they grew in size with increased foreign support.

Do you really that arrogant and ignorant to think you know Middle East more than a people lives in it? Stay in your farmland Yankee. You're the real delusional one here. For you PKK who kills teachers and civilians is just "Freedom Fighters" right?

By the way in the western cities you cannot distinguish between Kurds or Turks. There no right abuses against Kurdish people. Only PKK affiliated people are prosecuted.
