"Abdullah Öcalan’ý beðenirsiniz, Abdullah Öcalan’ý beðenmezsiniz.

Bu memlekette Öcalan’ýn MEFTUNU OLAN/HASTASI OLAN/Öcalan’ý LÝDERÝ BÝLEN/ÖL DESE ÖLECEK OLAN en az, hakikaten abartmadan söylemeye gayret ediyorum 
EN AZ: BEÞ MÝLYON insanýmýz var."

 

I do like to read Perihan Maðden because of her style of writing and her smart  sarcasms.  But I dont believe someone if just say something without evidence. I do think Perihan maðden naively said this number  But this is just an huge and blind exagaration as I explained in my previous post.

"Abdullah Öcalan’ýn televizyon seyredebilmesi, 3 çocuðun hayatýný kurtaracaksa; ben plazma televizyon kurdururum hücresine arkadaþ."
I agree with her aims generally but I think issues are not easy to resolve as she naively describe.

Well, you like it or not but there are at least 5 million Turks/Kurds think that Ocalan is their leader and they symphatise with him (actually most of them are quite keen on him. if he says die to them, they will die).

 

 

 

I know you do your hate propaganda So this is not responds to you I just want to inform people who dont know much about Turkey.

according to 2007 votes, less than 1.5 million people voted for DTP (which is a political party with full of "Zana" kind people. they wont declare pkk is a terrorist organization. We can say that "at least they are sympathise with it". )   I dont believe all of these people voted for them because of that DTP is related to pkk. and "attributing them with ready to die for pkk" would be just a huge (and ignorant) exaggeration for most of them. BUT lets accept this imputation and assume that they are all ready to die for pkk (or for öcalan "the baby killer"). if we assume +1 million for under 18 years old who cant vote (even with babies included)  that equals to 2.5 million people. (for the record Kurdish population more than 15 million) They totally 2.5 million Turkey has 70 million (approx.)

I have few words for pkk supporters: if you think your whining in everywhere will force Turkey to step back, you can continue dreaming. if you think Turkey´s endurance  eventually will break down and have to agreement with pkk you can continue dreaming.  if you think death tolls of turk and kurd soldiers will eventually force Turkey to an agreement you can continue dreaming. You should know that there are lots of people ready to die for Turkey, they say "VATAN SAÐOLSUN".

Quoting raindrops

When could we expect good and positives news from you?

 

Probably not in the near future. one of the reason is Because I read from Turkish newspapers in Turkish and I am not able to translate properly turkish to english. I dont read Turkish news sites in english because they are not satisfied. they publish old news that happened two week before. and those news are not overall about the subject.
second reason is I am not full time member of this site. I only come this site if a homework submitted.
third reason we are not in a propaganda race. if I would post news or stories, I would be balanced. I would post facts mostly. I wouldnt repeat minor stories to avoid a major one.

If  above is the sign of brain washing on my part. I mean reading many things and sharing them is the sign of brain washing , then let it be..

No I dont think it is brainwashing that is why I wrote there "just an irony". it was joke. (actually you took seriously that shows your prejudice about us) But you know "reading" only one side of the story that wont bring you to "the truth".

"they are disturbing me

yes I am not comfortable also. it would be ignorable if I was the only uncomfortable person from your posts.

But asking a person ´ dont share your ideas because they are disturbing me´ is not  a winning argument to be honest. If we accept it as ´the right thing to do´, anybody can be silenced or censored.

what is that you dont want to understand, I didnt say to you leave your ideas. I have been repeating myself since beginning, you can share, argue, promote your ideas that is your right. But "here is not right place to do". People do not come here to hear your negative propaganda.

About the stories of ´some of our sultans had some gay relations´ and they are bothering you but not me and you calling it cultural differences etc´:

I rather prefer to know the truth and learn how to live with them.

I rather prefer to know the truth as well. You understood what you want to understand. I disturbed because it was not truth but insult. not because it was the truth.

This is the same argument I was talking about: ´Orhan Pamuk is disturbing me because he is saying something I dont like´ or ´why Aziz Nesin tried to publish satanic verses? Because it is disturbing me´  etc..

you repeating yourself out of subject. Your difference from Aziz Nesin, he didnt tried in Turkish language website. Orhan pamuk as well. You know if this site would "discussing only" you would not find a person to discuss.

what is the meaning of ´freedom of expression´ simply to you?

I briefly write above bold and italic.

 

And why why why simply, ´what is written here´ or ´what is written anywhere else´ should bother anybody in a way that we will want it to stop? why should any idea bother anybody?

(well ideas can bother me sometimes, but as long as i have right to answer them, I will never ever ask them to be silenced!!)

Because you are here only for discussion they arent here for discussing or hear your negative propaganda. They dont have to answer you. or They dont have to be here. They just quit.(see I repeating myself)

Why has anything written ´critical of any government´ GOT TO BE  a part of propaganda?

I answered this actually before my last post

 

I never claimed that ´I was trying to enlighten people´. I have been sharing my ideas only.

if you would care people´s reaction that read your arguments Then you would check yourself. But I see you just want to write what have you been told. You will be realize sooner or later you will only cause negative consequences.

Thank you for the conversation.

I think it is better people who think these type of news offending ´gentle feeling of their Turkishness´ answer your question.

 

I dont feel offended from this news. I actually condemn them. But I feel offended if Trudy or you post always bad news from turkey. as if this is all about Turkey. There are many kind of propaganda. one of them is "only mentioning about bad part of the subject" that will cause eventually be image of the subject.

Quoting thehandsom

well..

I never ever thought ´what my purpose´ might be really..I wake up,

it sounds after brainwashing...

 

 read many things in Turkish and English

this could be the second step...

 

and I just share it here..

success...

 

just an irony.

 

That is all really..And when I see a wrong view, in my opinion, i tell my ideas about it .

But I know where you are coming from.

When I go to Turkey, sometimes I go to kahvehane with my father..Retired people´s kahvehane. Once, when I was there, there was Orhan Pamuk´s trial. And the news reader was saying ´a delegate from EU was in the court´ and of course the first reaction was ´what is their purpose?´.

I know, when mrs mitterand flew to diyarbakir (in the sout east), my father asked the same question ´what is her purpose?´.

When Orhan Pamuk said ´there have been 40.000 kurds and 1.000.000 Armenian killed in these soils´, they asked the same question ´what is his purpose?´

When Aziz Nesin tried to publish ´satanic verses´ in Turkish , the mob burnt the writers and intellects alive in that hotel. But the question was the same ´what was his purpose?´ (of publishing that book)

..

I can give you more examples if you like, but i think they are enough.

I see you playing with words instead of answering my question.I know my english is awful but isnt this part understandable? "Dont you (want to) see? your posts do not enlight people rather disturb them?" maybe I wrote wrong in english I should write in turkish. "Yazdýklarýnýn insanlarý düþündürmek, aydýnlatmak þöyle dursun rahatsýz ettiðini görm(ek istem)iyor musun?"
Dont you (want to) see? this is pointless that you keep posting these..  Thus I am asking that natural question if it is not pointless "what is the purpose?" I am asking you because I assume you want to enlight people rather than disturb them.

 

And that is where your question is coming from.. That is the same angle.

Our difference is, I want to hear from you to say your purpose unlike you already marked my purpose.

And after above examples, I hope you are not going to say that the question you asked me is your invention. Because it is not.

Yes you got me, I searched on google.

 

You are telling up -there your posts most of "opinions" with few of "facts"-. Could you possibly give some examples in which I expressed my opinions and I can not come up with the facts..

can you?

That will take me into discussion. That I dont want to be in. one of the reason "here is not a right place to discuss these issues" which is the base of my posts. I only mentioned there that shows you are part of the another propaganda.

And  about this irritation issue.

Well..I remember telling in one post that some of our sultans were gay. (And I did not think it was an important issue to be honest and I still dont ) And you got irritated..

That is called "cultural differences".

 

I dont know what to say really..

When someone says something to you and it is not matching with the things you were taught and you say ´what is said´ is irritating you, then  I dont think there can be any discussions with you. Because anything can be irritating you.

Again..

I dont know what to say really.

I just want to say:
if you will post similiar word playing I will assume you just want to disturb people. and that will show you are intentionally part of the negative propaganda.

Quoting thehandsom

Just a few things to add:

- When some people leave from here I feel sorry but when I think they are leaving  because their idea was NOT strong enough to defend my sarrow goes away. And I dont feel sorry anymore.

-If the level of racism in Turkey is not endemic, you are welcome to put your opinion. But do you prefer to attack the person who says it? In the end, it is ´just an idea´.

-about the negative propaganda: well sorry but what I say is what i believe.

What is the propaganda about it?.

And I believe that ´negative propaganda´ is not your personal opinion.

It is the excuse and the pharse our politicians and the army generals have been using for every single critisisim.

Since we all hear (and have heard for so many years) that ´nooo it is JUST a negative propaganda´ after  every critical opinion, you seem  picking it up so naturally. (some people may call it natural beheviour after brain washing)

You post serve nothing but the proof that you are burrying your head into the sand as opposing to confronting the opinion itself.

Turkish people come this site and want to help the foreigners in here. do not come here to discuss or hear "you are racist". They dont have to defend themselves against these accusations. they just quit. not only turkish people even some foreigners cannot endure that. Obiviously you do not "enlight" Turkish people with your posts rather irritate them.
So we came to the basic question: "What is your purpose?"
Actually I pointed a good way to promote your ideas in better place with target group. or will you continue the enlighten process on this site with few turkish people. some of them just found a brilliant! solution to get rid of the problem. that is "give the piece of land and get rid of them". is it progress for you? I hope not.
You can believe that what you say, that is why I reply to you. But here is not a place that these accusations or problems gonna solve. That is why Your posts serve nothing but negative propaganda.
Actually what I see in your posts most of "opinions" with few of "facts". So you complain about government or army propaganda but you are in another side of propaganda which can call briefly "foreign propaganda". I hear from you exactly what I hear from foreign sources. if it is not utter truth, your views are not original as well and they are suspected. So do not accuse people being a side of the propaganda because you are in another side of the propaganda.

Quoting thehandsom

going back to the discussion.
I have read almost all of the posts..
I am not going to quote all of them here but I can clearly say what aenigma and trudy said (from racism to police) here were completely right.
Our racism is an endemic.
Because we, Turks so used to it and it is almost everywhere, we tend to think that it is NOT racism and racism does not exist in Turkey.
Our nationalism was the cement of our republic at the begining almost 100 years ago.
Almost the entire system from education to the state television, from perception of foreigners to the position of the army etc are based on this nationalism.
And like any other nationalism, our nationalism defines itself with the feelings against enemies not with friendship.

We believe that ´we dont have any problems´ in our borders, it is all foreign powers trying to devide us (as they dont want to see us strong ).
We can not even comprehend the idea that ´there are some people in Turkey and they dont WANT TO CALL THEMSELVES TURKS´.
Then, they got to be the enemies of our republic. that is how our nationalism labels them. That is how the army calls them that is how  most of the media calls them.
That is how common people see this entire kurdish problem unfortunately. (the term common includes the educated ones too btw)
For many people it is always more comfortable to put their heads in the sand and ignore what is really going on.

btw.. This post is NOT specifically about PKK (let alone supporting it) -I will say it before someone else-

 

I can justify you at some points. will it comfort you?

What was the purpose of these posts and what is your purpose posting such things? 1) You want to educate or inform turkish members of this site? or 2) you want to educate or enlight foreigner members of this site? if the 1)st one, it seems pointless because there are not much Turkish member (and YOU should ask yourself why is it? is it because of many irksome prejudiced posts about turks? or should I say "enlighten" posts). if the 2)nd one, it seems it has a point, because if foreigners know how turks are racists, may preserve themselves from our racism. maybe there should be a sticky topic as a warning, like, becareful to turks because they are racists. it could be useful.  will give you free time that you can spend for another things.

your posts serve nothing but a negative propaganda. if you are well intentioned go and discuss these in a turkish site with turks. they may change their ideas and stop being racist as you say or you may change your idea and stop accusing turks as racist.
