no the resentment stems from the Kurds` illusion of having big things like big Kurdistan and big other things wheras in reality, it`s all just mental masturbation and a BIG nothing.

Does anyone know what type of kurdish is spoken in Turkey, I wanted to suprise my guy by sending him something in Kurdish as we usually speak in English or Turkish but I am not sure which dialect it would be as there seems to be two and its very confusing. I think it would be Kurmanji but I would apreciate some advice if anyone knows for sure. Plus if there is anyone who speaks this dialect that would be a great help. Many thanks 

i want everywomen on the planet to be aware, that unless they want to be second wife not to deal with a kurdish man. kurds like arabs, nigerians and afgani men only stick to their own. I know my people ladies just be aware and no you cant tell the difference between a kurd and a turk they are like distinguishing identical twins and some kurds are 10 times more rich than any turk.... 

 Ohhh gosh thanks for the warning!  I´m saved!!!  I´m so glad to be told that men can only live in the stereotype that people label them with!  Whew!

lol, what a comment... Like all Turkish guys are saints who don´t mess around behind the backs of their wives. It´s not like every Kurd has a 5 wives Ladies always need to be aware, because any guy can go with a lot of women. Yes, there are Kurdish guys who have several wives. And yes, there are also Kurdish guys who are not with several wives. I guess you had a bad experience, but don´t discredit millions of men (all the Kurds, Arabs, Nigerians and Afghani men) just because of that experience.

A standard doğrucu barba post

Yeah, I know I judge people on their individual personalities and not on some kind of big vague group like "the Arabs, Kurds, Nigerians, and Afhans" Crazy me. But I thought it was funny to see a statement like "Kurds are not like Turks, be aware"... come on You should always be aware as a woman for a cheating bad a-hole. Turks can be married and be with a bunch of different women as well.

Turkey is the country where everybody is free and it was like that for ages...Kurdish never banned in Turkey, if it was banned, anybody in east of Turkey would speak Turkish now

Turks, kurds arabs are treated second class ppl in all European countries too. in germany, if a person cant speak german; they cant get german citizenship from goverment even these ppl have been  living there for years... so that it is better to compare Turkey with other countries before criticizing on this issue

EXCUSE ME? It wasn´t banned? Are you 10 years old or something? It´s not THAT long ago that you couldn´t sing Kurdish songs, you weren´t allowed to show a Kurdish flag, and stuff like that. Come on, be realistic. Untill 1991 the use of the Kurdish language in public was BANNED in Turkey. It was Turgut Özal who lifted the ban. This is not an idea of mine, this is a FACT. In my European country the use of Turkish in public was never banned. There have been Turkish schools aroud here for a very long time.

I think the Turkey of today is making improvements towards bringing Kurds and Turks together, but don´t pretend like the Turkish goverment never tried to oppress parts of the Kurdish culture.

 As far as I know you have to pass a languagetest to get your turkish citizenship as well after living here for 5 years  Can we say that foreigners are treated like second class people in Turkey then...?

Barba is completely right here. Former Turkish governments were following way too nationalistic policies to realize that it is a natural right for anyone to speak their native language.

This is a problem caused by the common ignorance of the parties involved. On one side, there are the Kurds with medieval traditions and on the other the Turks wishing to part with the mistakes of the past.

We could not raise so many philosophers and pathfinders and we are paying for that lack now.
