The Kurds meet all the requirements for being a separate people, their own language, identity, and so forth.

They have defacto independence in Iraq. And they are close to achieving the same (Rojava) in Syria. The situation is not that good in Turkish Kurdistan. Turkey is trying to suppress the Kurdish language and customs. In Iran also, the situation is not that good. But it is much better when compared to the situation in Turkey.
Language an customs!? Where do you get information sucker? I offer you to search it correctly and leave being a liar

Pentagon Orders Hundreds Of Military Families To Evacuate Turkey

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/29/2016 11:24 -0400

 
Has the US finally had enough of its "ally" Erdogan? 

Moments ago the DOD announced that the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the Secretary of State, has authorized the ordered departure of all DoD dependents not assigned to Chief of Mission authority from Adana (to include Incirlik Air Base), Ismir, and Mugla, Turkey. This decision allows for the deliberate, safe return of family members from these areas due to continued security concerns in the region.

It adds that while "this step does not signify a permanent decision to end accompanied tours at these facilities", the evacuation "is intended to mitigate the risk to DoD elements and personnel, including family members, while ensuring the combat effectiveness of U.S. forces and our mission support to operations in Turkey. The United States and Turkey are united in our common fight against ISIL, and Incirlik continues to play a key role in counter-ISIL operations."

“The decision to move our families and civilians was made in consultation with the Government of Turkey, our State Department, and our Secretary of Defense,” said Gen. Philip M. Breedlove, Commander, U.S. European Command. “We understand this is disruptive to our military families, but we must keep them safe and ensure the combat effectiveness of our forces to support our strong Ally Turkey in the fight against terrorism.”
Stars and Stripes adds more:

The Pentagon is ordering the evacuation of nearly 700 military family members from Incirlik Air Base and two smaller military installations in Turkey because of concerns over the deteriorating security environment there.
 
Families are expected to begin leaving Turkey on Wednesday, stopping first at Ramstein Air Base in Germany, before continuing on to the States or other duty locations, U.S. European Command told Stars and Stripes.
 
“We understand this is disruptive to our military families, but we must keep them safe and ensure the combat effectiveness of our forces to support our strong ally Turkey in the fight against terrorism,” EUCOM chief Gen. Philip Breedlove said Tuesday in a statement.
 
The mandatory departure order, announced by the State Department, affects nearly all Defense Department dependents assigned to Incirlik, as well as those at smaller bases in Izmir and Mugla.
 
About 670 dependents are expected to be evacuated, along with 287 pets. About 770 dependents, most from Incirlik, are currently in Turkey, EUCOM spokeswoman Julie Weckerlein said. Those allowed to stay are the family members of mission-essential personnel.
This is all taking place one day after the Turkey Foreign Ministry, outraged by a satirical clip making fun of the Turkish President and his recent policies that was broadcast on German television, summoned the German Ambassador for official explanations. Following the broadcast of the satirical piece titled “Erdowie, Erdowo, Erdogan” on NDR show titled “Extra 3” on March 17, German Ambassador Martin Erdmann was summoned up several days later to officially explain “in length” the reasons for the broadcaster’s behavior, Der Speigel has learned.

The one minute and 52 second long satire package showing footage from recent history in Turkey criticized Erdogan's increased crackdown on the freedom of the press and hostile policies in the region, including Turkey’s alleged support for Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) fighters in neighboring Syria.

The video also focused on the lavish living of the Turkish president and his multibillion euro deals with the Europeans to keep migrants at bay. The broadcast on German television comes at a time when Germany, as part of EU is actively seeking closer ties with Turkey to help tackle the migrant crisis in Europe.

Erdogan’s crackdown on journalists and restrictions on freedom of speech have been repeatedly criticized by the international community, along with Ankara’s controversial anti-terrorists campaign against Kurdish militants which inflicted much suffering on Turkey’s minority population.

The day the satirical piece was aired, RT launched a petition calling for a UNHRC-led investigation into claims of alleged mass killing of Kurdish civilians committed by the Turkish military during Ankara’s crackdown on Kurds in the country's southeast.

Israel Urges Citizens to Leave Turkey Immediately
Officials Say 'Active' ISIS Plot Against Istanbul School

by Jason Ditz, March 28, 2016

Following last week’s warnings about travel to Turkey, the Israeli government has issued a “level 3” warning, urging all citizens to leave Turkey as soon as possible, claiming an imminent, active threat of ISIS and other similar groups carrying out attacks.

While the warning itself didn’t offer specifics, intelligence officials later reported an “active” plot by ISIS to attack a major Jewish school in Istanbul, which is also a synagogue. They say the plot is still ongoing, and an attack could happen at any moment.

Early last week, an ISIS attack in Istanbul targeted a number of tourists, including several Israelis. Indications were that the Israeli tourists were being followed and were likely the primary target of the attack.

That sparked the initial warning, but more intelligence has emerged since then, with Turkish police also warning over the weekend that they believe ISIS is planning attacks against both Christians and Jews inside Turkey over the next few days.

Between ISIS, the ongoing Turkish war against the Kurds, and intermittent attacks by a Marxist-Leninist group, Turkey has no shortage of threats, and in recent weeks seems to be facing near constant threats of new bombings.

Kurds have their own language and can use in Turkey. It is all free. They have many kurdish tv channels and one is an official channel served them by government.
PKK claims new state in that land and claims fighting in name of kurds but most of kurds aren't in same opinion

It is interesting that on the 11th March, the US Embassy issued a warning to US citizens about the threat of a possible terrorist attack that may affect the buildings of the Turkish government. The current attack occurred not far from the office of the Prime Minister of Turkey.

There is truth in article about that civil war in souteaster of Turkey except killing own citizens.  Turkish army and police fight with a terrorist organisation who killed more than 40.000 kurdish and turkish people during 30 years.

It is true that more than 40,000 Kurds were killed during the last three decades. And all of them were killed by the criminal Turkish army.

Two police officers have been killed and 35 people injured after a car bomb exploded in the south eastern Turkish province of Mardin. The attack has been blamed on the Kurdistan Workers Party, but no one has claimed responsibility so far.
The blast struck the town of Nusaybin, near the Syrian border, but no group has immediately claimed responsibility for the attack, Reuters reports. A small building next to the apartment block was partially flattened by the bomb, while a large crater appeared in the road. Windows in near-by buildings have all been blown out, due to the blast.

The Istanbul-based daily newspaper Zaman, which has been sharply critical of Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan, has been ordered into administration by an Istanbul court.
New managers to run the newspaper will be appointed by the court, which acted on the request of Istanbul prosecutors, the state-run Anatolia news agency said Friday. The new management will be expected to transform the media's editorial policy, AFP reported, citing analysts.

"Zaman would be taken over in a government-backed operation. Four batches of anti-terror squads and riot police would be sent over to Zaman headquarters in Istanbul. So tomorrow's newspaper will probably be the last time it is written how it's supposed to be written – by our editorial team," the paper's foreign affairs correspondent told RT by phone. Erdogan "has no tolerance for any dissent or opposition, whether it's in politics or in the media," he added.

There was no immediate official explanation for the court's decision, AFP said.....

Turkey is the strongest country around its geograph.
It is located on a very strategic region therefore it has many enemies inside and out. But it has power to defeat them.
One of inside enemy is Pkk known and accepted as, terrorist organisation for many international authority.
That terrorist organisation is murderer of arround 50.000 innocent people.
That terrorist organisation attacks to cities by  HMEs,  by suicide bombings and kills civilians.
Today that terrorist organisation occupied some of regions in some of small towns like Silopi, Cizre, Sur.
That organisation took civilians beside them as human shields. Therefore Turkish Army and Police Forces can't attack them directly for avoiding civilian lost.
This is not a civil war. Actually that is not a war. Some of damn terrorists captured some regions in peace agreement.
Unfortunately i see here terrorists friends, supporters, fans. You will know terror when it knocks, your own door, then you'll understand that terror has no friend

If Erdogan opposes this, then just send him to some gulag.

Yeah, who will do that? All talk no work done. Free threats. Accept it, he's too powerful. You can't destroy the puppet of US, unless US want it.
