Not everything is about oil and Israel.... Almost the whole world cares about the Palestinians and western countries are officially starting to recognize a Palestinian state. But god forbid we apply the same to the Kurds. Apparently hating the Kurds is the only acceptable form of racism left on...

The Kurds in Syria are modling themselves much like in iraq where they remain within the state they are a part of now but with autonomy. The Turks oppose any rights to the kurds in syria. You are missing the point I am trying to make. That the west is starting to back the Kurds outside of...

Turkey used to be a major partner and ally but under the AK party it has been increasingly uncooperative and it has lead to increasing divisions between Washington and Ankara. I have said before that this will cause diplomatic isolation for Turkey for being uncooperative and you see the results...

Turkish Support for ISIS and the reality of the Kurdish Question Because of just how big of a topic this is I am going to direct the bulk of my answers into a new thread that I will create. The sheer volume of information about this needs to be addressed in a uniform way with headings, links...

I have done a lot of reading about the current ruling Turkish party and while they have similar ideology and are very sympathetic to the Muslim brotherhood they are not exactly the same. Yes they did/do support Morsi in Egypt and Hamas in Gaza but that does not make them a pan-Sunni party that...

I think this is a fairly easy one to answer. Turkey supports Turkish interests! I think they have miscalculated though and are finding out that their current path is not a viable answer when it leaves you at odds with every regional power, 2 super powers and an emboldened Kurdish movement that...

The Arab Spring was hijacked in Egypt and Syria by Islamic movements. What started as a more liberal movement by students and the younger generations was exploited by radical elements who have no qualms about using intimidation, violence , bombs or twisting religious dogma to justify getting...

You were censored because I reported your unconstructive, dangerous and hateful speech about the destruction of nations, specific cities and peoples. You will find no one on these forums that is more pro-Kurd than myself that has also spent an unhealthy amount of time researching Kurdish...

For a Kurd you know surprisingly little about Kurdish politics with respect to iran (who you call persia) here let me copy and paste some news here for you to read... you can read right? perhaps you can explain your lack of understanding of PJAK and claim to be PKK when PJAK is an OFFSHOOT of...

Goga, you need to calm down a bit. Turkey is not America's lap dog. They have not helped us in any major NATO conflicts in a combat role. We are not fighting the Kurds in Syria, we are attacking ISIS. There is a lot of anger in the west with Turkey and who knows what will happen. But the best...

http://nation.foxnews.com/2014/10/09/violent-protests-kurdish-isis-supporters-erupt-streets-hamburg (Right Leaning American Media) Police in the northern German city of Hamburg say 14 people were injured overnight in clashes between Kurdish protesters and members of a hard-line Islamic movemen...

This all goes back to Turkey and ISIS and it is boiling over in the streets of Turkey to Europe as Turkish inaction to to adress a massacre in the making in Kobani as ISIS advances through the city after the 3 week siege. The fact that the outlawed PKK and thier allies in Syria the YPG have done...

If this ultra-nationalistic rhetoric that borders on academic blindness is taught in Turkish Public schools then I have little hope of Turkey in the future as a partner with the west. And I would suggest that Turkey would be more at home in the Russian Federation’s warm embrace than with the EU...

I do believe so, but even without the spy satellite infrared images or the call from rebels to Russian handlers I would be hard pressed to offer a logical solution other than the rebels or the Russians shot it down. Tell me, do you think someone else would have done it?

Yugoslavia is not a country anyone.... I have a very hard time understanding anything you say. But go ahead and defend the butchering of all of those civilians, and express your love for Putin and everything Russia just because they are also Slavic. The sad thing is no matter where you are in...

Just wanted to add that the American government saw the launch and the hit on the plane on infrared satellite. I would imagine they already knew who launched it but are waiting on a good time to say who did it.

Why would I want the Russians punished? It is because of them so many have died. They funded, equipped, trained and are directly responsible for how many deaths exactly? They have sent tanks, rockets and other heavy weaponry into the situation. If the Russians did not arm the rebels to the...

It was fired from eastern Ukraine or possibly from Russia itself according to American and NATO intelligence. They have narrowed it down to 2 types of rockets. One is exclusive to the Russian military and not some cold war relic and is a complicated weapons system to fire. Not once have the...

Well when you consider that either the Russians or the rebels fired a surface to air missile that knocked a commercial airliner out of the sky today and killed hundreds of people I would imagine people would stay the hell away. Seriously how the hell do you confuse a jetliner at 30,000 feet with...

Some updates... June 30, 2014 ANKARA,— Turkey's Justice and Development Party (AK Party) Deputy Chairman Hüseyin Çelik has indicated that Turkey will recognize a Kurdish state in northern Iraq if the crisis-stricken...
