its just obvious. you cant do anything about some group of people. the change must come from inside.

 On the contrary this group by their practices exclude themselves from society.

Teyrebazen Azadiya Kurdistan aka TAK (the freedom falcons of Kurdistan) which is the subsidiary of PKK and which takes part acts in terrorism acts in metropolises and touristic places, had accomplished congress on January 2010 after six years and announced a war declaration threatening the metropolises and touristic resorts of Turkey. It is declared "from now on everyehere in Turkey is our battleground but foremost the metropolises of Turkey" and addressing tourists "if you do not want to be the target of ongoing war, immediately leave Turkey and give up coming to Turkey."

This is alarming....and deadly serious. I tried to find information in English on this, but couldn´t find anything.  You don´t know any English sites on this, do you?

hmmm....I´m curious what was edited out by Trudy too....

it seems resort workers being of mostly Kurdish origin disturbed Trudy and thought to be inflammatory, interesting. As far as i know giving only the news without personal comment and source is not welcomed in forums ...

i havent searched but i dont think english news can be found now, maybe a few days later if they want to publish of course...

I just watched the Dutch news, and heared that the Dance Parade in Rotterdam won´t be the same anymore It used to be a parade of trucks with different DJs driving in a line around town. Free party! Woohoo!

But because of big riots started by idiot holigans in the Rotterdam area last year, they are afraid to do it that way this year. So it´s just going to be a closed concert, with tickets in only available in pre-sale.

... I hate holigans! Ruining everything for everybody. And the people at city hall are cowards I want my annual party back!

No more Dance Parade? They always came by very loudly about 100 metre from my house! I´ll miss the noise....  

If you multiply 13837 by your age and then 73 (13837xyour agex73) the result is...............

I am no more shocked by honor killings, but this one seems to be an extreme case of inhumanity so it caught my eye. It will probably find its place in foreign media as "Turkish" honour killing anyway so here goes:

Medine Memi (16) who has been missing for 4 months, was found buried under the henhouse of her house. The autopsy indicates that she was alive and conscious at the time of burial. Father Ayhan Memi and grandfather Fethi Memi were taken under custody, they stated she might have had some male friends and they were discontent with it.

-Burying your daughter of 16 years old alive.

-Living, eating & sleeping in 5 meters radius of it for months.

These ´people´ need to be punished hard. I would applaude if they were sentenced to life in prison. And yes, it happened in Turkey so the press will call it a Turkish crime. (If something happens in, let´s say Texas, the press will call it an American crime, not a Texan crime.)

But Yersu, you know what I find so typical in your postings? The way you seem so sure that events like this are only done by Kurds and never by Turks. Does that mean Turks are not capable of doing such horrible things?
