Quoting CARTEL:

Quoting SuiGeneris:

we call that area as South East Region of Turkey...



lol



it also is northern iraq,parts of syria and iran..its a geographical region.



i believe azade was mentioning a city she lived in that region... northern iraq or whatever they call it is none of our business and unrelated to this topic... we are here for talking about Turkey right?

i was also in Şırnak for two years and i was so close with so many Kurdish people and i never heard their calling those region as "Kurdistan"

lets not get the tension more here...

i dont speak more bcoz u dont know anything



Poor cartel!..They DO!..Even more than you do!..They are westerners,remember,they know best!..You don't know where is kürdistan,but they do..Most probably you'll say 'an area with such a name as kürdistan is not present'...Silly!...The area's being shown as kürdistan in their maps since 1800's...It's only us who name the areas as Doğu Anadolu Bölgesi and Güneydoğu Anadolu Bölgesi.

well my husbands family are of kurdish origins but have lived in turkey for hundreds of years..he also takes your viewpoint that there is no such thing as Kurdistan..however, like scalpel said it has been on our maps for around 200 years now..

So? Should we all - those who not agree in your point of view - be afraid?

the only one making divisions in this forum was you unfortunately..
i don't care if someone is english,turkish,kurdish,greek,armenia,chinese,korean or whatever..you were the only one making racist comments such as all kurds are pkk ..ridiculous,,thats like saying all muslims are terrorists just becaus eof al qeada..ridiculous..i understand tehre are great etnsiosn between turkish and kurdish people due to past events but to blame an entire race for a minority's actions..

That's true, and you're right.
I simply mentioned it because "we" were told that "w" know nothing about it.
As far as I have seen, the majority of people in the region don't make a habit of stating that they're from kurdistan, as opposed to eg. Turkey. It's just that the name kurdistan is used in europe when referring to kurds. It's called kurdistan simply because of the people divided between four countries, it doesn't necessarily have anything to do with seperatism and certaintly not offending proud turks. It's exactly the same as there's an island i Denmark called Bornholm. No need to get hotheaded about it.
