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...
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.
