Imagine 1960 for Turkey’s Kurds

1960 was the year the Cyprus Republic was formed. How can it possibly relate to the plight of Kurds in Turkey?

Turkish Cypriots (herein TCs) never, in the over 3.200 uninterrupted documented Greek history of Cyprus, constituted more than 18% of Cyprus’s population. In fact, Turks first set foot on Cyprus in 1571.

Has***tir!

CyprusNewsReport.com Wed, 07/03/2012 - 14:13 — Editors - In the interests of press solidarity, this publication supports Afrika newspaper's statement against Egemen Bagis' provocative 'annexation' comments. The outspoken editor of Afrika newspaper Sener Levent has told Turkey's EU affairs minister Egemen Bagis exactly what he thinks about the idea of Turkey annexing north Cyprus with the front page title 'Has*tir', which basically translates into 'go screw yourself' (and that is putting it politely).

Q, W and X!

The letters 'Q', 'W' and 'X' exist in Kurdish but not Turkish. Kurdish is the native language of 25% of Turkey's population. The Parliament’s website will be in seven different languages including Russian and Chinese, but not Kurdish. Just imagine being a Kurd of Turkey!

Who are these Turks to wish to preach Cypriots on democracy, freedom and minority community rights? How dare they assume the moral high ground? Don't they realize they make fools of themselves?
