Tools and services. Even the people who study at university behave as racists. But there are some kind people, too.

I hope the people who are racist don't behave as that as much and they respect people not for nations. All in all, When you encounter racism anywhere please revolt against racist people. If you don't react them, I will think you are racists, too. Most of Knc's statements are not true. For example I am a Turk and I don't hate any Kurdish.

We hate PKK. Because it is a terrorist group. And most of this terrorist group's members are Kurdsh people. Therefore, some people hate Kurdish who are members of PKK. And it is very normal. Please think about it;If your siblings, your relatives or a close friend are killed by these terrorists, can you love them?

Racism is another thing, this is something else. Its name is terrorism. Highly-rated answerer. First of all, please read comment carefully and I typed that there are some kind people, too.

So please be careful before replying. I am Kurdish and I have not killed anyone. Do you mean we have a potential of being terrorist because of our nations. If I had a chance, I would leave here.

Among the non-Kurds arrested is Ismail Beshikchi, an author and sociologist who has been repeatedly imprisoned for his criticism of official policy. Previously arrested for refuting the official claim that Turks had spawned all the world's great civilizations, Beshikchi is currently in jail for attacking Turkish "Kemalism," an ideology he described as racist and colonialist, one intended to subsume autonomous institutions - the media, syndicates, universities and schools - under its rubric.

Kurdish insignia are outlawed. In Diyarbakir 12 persons were arrested for selling Kurdish music cassettes. One tailor who refused to comply was thrown into prison for two days and his sign was altered. It is illegal for parents to give children Kurdish names; they must select Turkish names or face punishment. In a raid on the village of Doganbey, the gendarmerie, whose garrison commander was quoted as saying, "We shall exterminate all Kurds," tortured the imam holy man of the village for several hours.

The inhabitants were then forced to speak Turkish. The women, who did not speak Turkish, however, could not understand the commands. When the village guard translated them into Kurdish he was beaten. When he tried to explain that he had to translate because the women spoke no Turkish, the commander ordered the villagers tortured because they did not speak Turkish. Such tactics have not been restricted to interaction between Kurds and Turks. They were also carrying a brochure in French about Kurds.

German tourists have also been arrested for "making Kurdish propaganda. Turkey is not content to persecute Kurds within its borders. The course was aimed at incorporating Kurdish in the home language teaching program in Danish, Norwegian, Swedish and West-German schools. The Embassy Councillor asked, "Are you not Turkish citizens?

You must not teach Kurdish to Kurdish children. Turkey is in clear violation of the UN declaration of human rights and the European convention of Human rights.
