-Caveat Lector- Here posted below is a situation you might actually know something about. Do the word hypocracy ring a bell? After all your bitching about Israel(i) and the Palestinians, you never bothered to mention Turkey and the Kurds. Why is that Prudy? There is hardly a comparison when defined by the real numbers. Yet somehow for you the plight of the Kurds is not as worthy. Is it because it doesn't give you the opportunity to safely go after Jews? I think so. Liberals don't have the balls to be outright racists, just subtle ones.
Joshua2 =========================================================================== Turkey to extend emergency rule in Kurdish provinces The Associated Press ISTANBUL, Turkey (October 30, 2001 07:37 p.m. EST) - Turkey's political and military leaders agreed Tuesday to prolong emergency rule in four predominantly Kurdish provinces of southeastern Turkey. The National Security Council, made up of top generals and ministers, agreed at its monthly meeting that emergency rule in the provinces of Diyarbakir, Tunceli, Hakkari and Sirnak should be extended for four months beyond November 30. The extension must now be put to a vote in parliament, which routinely approves the Council's decisions. Emergency rule was imposed in 13 provinces in 1987, as the army battled with Kurdish rebels demanding autonomy for the southeast. It allows provincial governors to impose curfews, call in soldiers to suppress illegal demonstrations and ban rallies. As fighting subsided, emergency rule was gradually lifted in nine provinces, most recently in Van province in June last year. An estimated 37,000 people, mostly Kurdish rebels and civilians, died in the 15-year conflict, which has been reduced to sporadic clashes since rebels announced a cease-fire in 1999. Most of the rebels have since crossed the border into neighboring Iraq and Iran. The army has rejected the cease-fire and says it will continue fighting until all rebels surrender or are killed. --------------------------------------------------------------- This article is protected by copyright and should not be printed or distributed for anything except personal use.
