This is long standing. <br />This is what happens when people groups lose territory . When I was in Turkey in the nineties there was general distrust of Kurds, because the PKK terrorises the country.

All the while being persecuted and slaughtered by that bastard running Turkey (from whom the Kurds deserve a peaceable homeland).<br /><br />And the Kurds seem to be the only group in the area which have an enlightened philosophical viewpoint (though I don't know a lot about them other than actions, such as the women brigades, etc).Mark Hubbardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02541153163041831880noreply@blogger.com
