Do you know my father was a %100 kurd. He was a government officer. Our old republic president was a kurd too.
It's not about being kurd. It's about where you live in Turkey. In south-east Turkey our army try to hard for terrorism and kurd or turk our citizens damage about that.
EU wants PKK see as a liberation organization. In that case we can see IRA or ETA as that. I know UK government doing so hard things to some irish people about of IRA.

>>Religious: In Istanbul if you come there you can see a lot of churh. But if you go Athens you cannot see even one mosque. Greek government don't let it. And our churchs can ring their bells freedomly, but German government don't let muslims for Azan.

>Yeah, I read that from you already. But you were having a go at the USA, and now UK. Both countries are religion tolerant.
I'm not sure. I know, Yusuf Islam (Cat Stevens) cannot entered USA because of he is a muslim. Before 9/11 muslims was so comfortable in USA but today not unfortunately. But Canada is better. I have some muslims friends in Canada and USA. My friend of one said that "Minister visited us at Mosque and we pleasted him". But a friend of one returned Turkey even have green-card. After exit mosque police was stopping us, sometimes police come our house excused about noise complaints.
