you should stop opressing them and give the right to get education in their own language!

 

 They already get educated in the language they want! And in parts of Scotland they get educated in Celtic.......

Bilingual signs would be a very good and fair solution,

 

 

Why dont you ask Turks around you if they will accept  what you are suggesting?

tell them that there will be sign posts with both Turkish and Kurdish..

Tell them some prints will be both in Turkish and Kurdish..See if they will accept that..

I can assure you, Kurds will accept that.. (Just 10 years ago speaking Kurdish was an offence which will put you in jail..in 1980s it would secure a torture..)

What is the percentage of those who get educated in Celtic compared to those educated in English? I bet less than 5%, right?

Don´t be fooled thehandsom...we have made every reasonable accomodation and more for the spanish speaking...just go to an atm or look at any instructions with an appliance.  Heck, call their customer service number and you may need to ask for an interpreter yourself.. Razz

 

we are not talking about ATM`s here. when will you stop oppressing the American Natives and Blacks and give them the right to get education in their own language?

%5 or not. At least you can not accuse the UK as a country oppresing some of its citizens..

Luckily not any more, at least not inside the country. I think they´ve done enough damage all over the world.

I didn´t know there is a language for, as you call them, Blacks...

 

Double place names sound like a good idea, In Poland we have some villages with double names - Polish and German (although German minority is smaller than Kurdish in Turkey). The legislation process was simple - a public vote in each place German minority wanted to have double names. In some they won the vote, in others they didn´t. No big deal...

they can chose whatever subsaharan dialect they want. there isn`t a single language called Kurdish either. It`s basically Iranian.

Actually..

I was trying to explain in other threads. As a country we do not accept that Kurds are minorities.

Infact, We always denied that Kurds were minority..

Minorities are jews, greeks and armenians only (or at least Turkey treats only those 3 groups as minority).

When you are accepted as a minority you get serious rights!! Your language, your religion are being protected by the laws..

Kurds have never been considered as minority legely!!

If it was, it could have been easier and people´s mentality would be ready for giving ´this type of rights as  their basic rights´

 And also, apart from the definition of monitorities in Turkey, the perception of minorities is completely different when you compare Turkey and EU..

In a nutshell, in EU anybody who is not majority is considered as minority..And simply they try to treat these people who are not in majority as majority.

It means whatever the majority has as their rights, monorities will have the same rights!!

Providing the education in minority  language is one of their rights for example.

Because citizens who blong to the minority group must  have  the same rights as the  majority.
