TimesOnline:
"BRITONS are among foreigners fighting Turkish troops with the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) in northern Iraq, The Sunday Times can reveal."
"According to PKK fighters holed up in one of the natural fortresses of the Qandil mountain range which runs along Iraq’s Turkish and Iranian borders, several Europeans have joined forces with their group."
"At least three Britons were in the PKK’s 3,000-strong force, boasted one fighter as he and a group of men huddled in a room discussing the latest clashes with the Turkish army. Others include Russians, Germans, Greeks, Iranians and Arabs. The PKK is labelled by both Europe and America as a terrorist organisation..."

 I am surprised to hear this - I would like to know the deail, I think maybe those "Britains" are Kurdish - either immigrants or born in Britain to Kurdish families.

britains? you mean britons?

 

I wouldn`t be surprised if they are not of Kurdish origin, when all the european media portraits the kurdish terrorists as "freedom fighters" just because they helped america and england in their genocide in iraq.

which part is crap? is it that the Kurds helped america and its puppets in their genocide, or that kurdish terrorists are portrayed as freedom fighters because of their help in the genocide?

 The second part.  I have no knowledge of USA media, but I will defy you to find any reference in the UK media of the Kurdish terrorists being protrayed as freedom fighters.

 

Will happily wait for as long as it takes for you to find such an example...

 Your link showed nothing about Kurdish (The Sun?!?!?! Oh dear!).  And there is a big difference to "Kurdish rebels" and "Kurdish freedom fighters" which were the words you used.

 

Please try again and find me "Kurdish freedom fighters" references.

"The world would see they were not terrorists, but freedom fighters. Dialogue and peace would eventually solve the Kurdish question in Turkey. Their struggle for Kurdish rights was not about to be vaporised by a barrage of Turkish, or US, rockets."

Enjoy!

 Oh Tami Tami Tami! lol

This is not media opinion!!! This is a quote from an interview - let me quote it propertly

 

"The PKK, at least the 2,000 or so who remain in northern Iraq, appear to be fast running out of options. "We have been misrepresented", said Abdul Rahaman Chaderchi, belying a frustration that they are referred to in the same breath as al-Qaida. "We are not terrorists. We share the same goals of democracy and human rights as the west," said Ms Ahmed. "We are fighting Turkish chauvinism and its long denial of basic rights to Kurds. We want to see a Turkey that can meet the criteria of joining the EU."

 

If you read in a newspaper, a quote from a an interview with an insane person  that "all children must die" - do you assume that the whole country believe "all children must die"?! lol
