it seems that evrery where around the world goverment is ignoring obviouse mistakes that will blow up in the future. if the number of tennagers in turkey keep rising then soon there will be no future for turkey. i dont mean to sound like a hippie but at some piont this has to come to an end...im sure juch pain and blood as been seen in this 30-year civil war so why cant they end in a treaty? let the state that wants to e independant be independant, let them call them selves the freedom fighters, but only in exchange forall the tukish teengers be relaesed from jail,and a strict border law. this war has got to stop.

The case of Turkey is not a "mistake". Turks know very well what they are doing. They do so for centuries. They butcher people and Kurds, Greeks and Armenians are their most known victims. NAziTO appreciated their "talents" and granted them Membership after WW2. In the frame of their usual behavior, they terrorize, imprison, torture and kill innocent Kurd villagers even for ... using the Kurdish language. Now where are the UN with their ... "interest" about human rights? UN don't really care about human rights. Human rights are just an excuse for invasions by USA.
