Nobody forces you but you know you must speak english with other people, that's the main code conduct of this forum. English is accepted as the main language... Otherwise you'll be warned, if not you'll be banned.
So now that doesnt happen in Turkey :D At your own corner you can speak your own language, but not on topics with English speaking people got it now? So all people living in Turkey must accept this law, otherwise they can search for another country where they can speak their own language everywhere period.

Bulldog, I am against the Turkish regime, not the people.
Am I ridiculous, wasn't you in Eastern Turkey? IN KURDISTAN?
Umm but that's so hypocritical, firstly Turkey doesn't have a regime, there is a democratically elected government, now you can criticise all you like but the government was voted in.
Also, Kurdistan? where is this huh, I've been to Eastern Turkey why don't you instead of lying on a beach in Alanya....Plus even the wildest Kurdish maps don't include all of Eastern Turkey, majority of Eastern Turkey is not predominantly Kurdish so I don't know what your going on about.
I mean common arn't you embarrassed? you say that you hate the "regime" but the money you spent helps the country. You arrived safely back, man you spent your holiday in the country, how on Earth can you spend a holiday there. It's like me preaching about how awfull a country is, then letting it slip that actually I enjoy my holiday's there, its a bit hypocritical don't you think. There's hundreds of countries in the world and you choose TURKEY
Cent
What I find ridiculous is that first you come here and claim you're British, and then from no where you're Turkish.
What's the problem? I'm Brittish, I never realised hating Turks was a requirement to proove this Alot of Britt's go on holiday every year to Turkey and like the country and people.
So how was Alanya have a good time in the evil state of the Terrible Turks.

Because you need tourists!
Jokes apart, what is sad is here is simply your mentality.

Anyone can get a tourist visa from Turkey.. just jump off the plane and go to immigration control and give them the equivalent of 10.00GBP and they put a sticker in your passport.

Turkey belongs to those who live on it. Nor you, neither Turkish state can deny this fact.

I agree. Turkey is an integral unitary state. All of its citizens are equal regardless of their ethnic origins. Federalism is just going to create artificial boundaries within the state, which are totally unacceptable, and a threat to the unity of the nation.

Is it just me or do many of you not know why many Kurds feel the way they do... You do realize that it has been only 16 years since the turkish government stopped calling Kurds "mountain Turks" and you guys are speaking of equality? Sorry if this may seem a bit forward, but the very few that are actually criticizing the government or military are getting blasted.

equality is not such important word. If everyone forced to become atheist, everyone is equal. If everyone is forced to become Turks, everyone is equal. If everyone is forced to walk unveiled or veiled, again everyone is equal.
If everyone put jail again everyone is equal. Kurdish(not limited with them, add albanian, bosniaks, laz, armenian, zaza, greek vs.) nations should be equal with Turkish nation at Turkey.
This mean, changing name of Turkey, changing name of Turkey nation(Not Turkish nation.) Changing national langauge.(add turkish to other langauges, or just dont accept any langauge.)
Equality between people does mean nothing. Specially when people are not equal.(They are sunni, alevi,kurd,turk, religious, atheist.)

You don't seem to know the difference between 'same' and 'equal'. Need a dictionary?

me? It is not me who say, Turkey treat everyone equal. It is others, turks who dont like turks, secular people who dont like religious one(about veil issue, If I dont remember wrong, one of them was you.), sunni people who dont like alevis. Ext.
Hmmm, I know meaning of equality. Treat everyone equal. Our problem with equality is not persons, but ethics. Turkey treat every individual equal.She dont treat every ethic equal..
By the way, can you built a sentence with using "same" word?It will be more beneficial, so you can teach me difference between same and equal. So I can take some light from your feyz, intelligent guy?

Honestly, I don't understand you Mortaza. OK, here is my explanation:
If we force our citizens to speak one language, have one culture etc., we make them 'same'.
If we grant them the same rights and let them do whatever they want freely, we make them 'equal'.

Thanks. using a word form a sentence help much. I am not talking about asimilation.
I think my english will not be enough, but I will try.
I am talking about objective equality.It means everyone equal against to law.Their personal trait is not important.
For exp, If a 10 year child get some punishment with a 40 year old man, It is objective equality. Every human being are same and they are adult.(Even an 10 year child.)
Now when It comes Turkey, Turkey see every people as Sunni, secular turk. It is not important If you are a kurd, alevi, or christian. So we can see stupidy like teaching alevi and christian childs to sunni islam.
Subjective equality is treating every person acording to their personal traits( religion, age, sex, past life, ext.) Pratically It is impossible to have totally subjective equality at a state, because all of 72.000.000 million people is different..
So problem is how much we should have subjective equality. We should divide people acording to what?
should we care their religion(Christian, alevi, sunni)? their langauge and nation?(kurds, turks, armenians..) or their politic ideas.(Religious, secular.)You can add a lot different standarts for this.
do turkey divide their people acording to this? No. Turkey is a secular turkish sunni state.
If you are a turkish sunni religious one or turkish alevi secular. Okey life still goes..Just dont have job with states.
If you are a kurdish sunni religious or turkish alevi religious.Life is a little more difficult.
If you are a christian religous armenian or alevi religious kurds, God help you.
So equality is a vague word. We should decide, how much our subjective equality should become.
For ex, you divide people kurds, armenian, and turks.You say everyone of them should have their cultural rights.
But when It comes to secular and religious part, you did not divide people. You treat everyone like secular.(No veiled women should enter univercity.)
So equality is not a magical word.

You are a little bit confused. Please think twice before writing anything and stop inventing terms.

The only natural division among humans is made through social classes.
Other than that, I don't divide anybody. Kurdish language should be free for all, not just for Kurds.

Speaking one language doesnt means "one culture", in every province of Turkey they have different "gelenek g顤enek" or may it like "culture" in english. I do ask you, is mardin same as Aydin? Is kars same as afyonkarahisar? Many people out there do know Turkish very well, but one language doesnt means one same culture. You know what Ismet In霵 said on negotiation of Lausanne treaty? English wanted include kurds also in the minorities, he refused "how your gonna do that, I am a kurd myself". I cant believe you that you live in Turkey dude, you are being brainwashed or something, "equal rights" etc and that bullsh*t that you come up with. If they wherent threaten "equal", how does it come that one of the beloved presidents is a Kurd (turgut 驆al rip), dont sell bullsh*t here I certainly wont buy that.

I dont think creating terms are a guilt.that is not an argument, but argumentless.Attacking person is an easy shoot.
Secondly, I created this terms, because you didnot understand what I meant.(I should add, objective and subjective are used terms.)
Anyway, I am out. I cannot waste my time with someone, attacking people instead of ideas.
"Need a dictionary?" ,"You are a little bit confused." , "Please think twice before writing anything and stop inventing terms. " are not arguments. These are cheap games. You know what Ismet In霵 said on negotiation of Lausanne treaty? English wanted include kurds also in the minorities, he refused "how your gonna do that, I am a kurd myself".
If they are majority, why did we ban this majority langauge. Or why dont we teach this majority langauge at schools?
I cant believe you that you live in Turkey dude, you are being brainwashed or something, "equal rights" etc and that bullsh*t that you come up with.
It is not totally bullsh*t but let become realist.(not idealist.)
What is your answer to kurdish problem? dont tell me, our only problem is PKK. PKK is a result. If you have an answer, I am ready to accept it. This giving all rights of kurds policy is a little risky.
If they wherent threaten "equal", how does it come that one of the beloved presidents is a Kurd (turgut 驆al rip), dont sell bullsh*t here I certainly wont buy that.
do 驆al know kurdish? also dont forget, ozal aim was to change name of country. He wanted to change Turkey with anatolian republic.So a kurd, 驆al is not happy with name of country. Even When he becomes republic of that country.
