Thanks for the link, Ken. Comments on it: 1. I don't know any of the (mostly-German) signers, and so I don't know if they represent a particular trend in the movement, but am digging. 2. For a much, much more balanced approach, see the articles that come up by googling "joseph daher kurds." His approach has been 100% support to Kurdish self-determination, 100% support for all protests against Erdogan's murderous repression - and 100% insistence on clarity on the alleged transformation of the PKK, which the "Open Letter" signers themselves admit is dubious.
