Not sure that they will receive more now. 'South-East' is another planet from Istanbul…
By the way on that video, Kurds ask Öcalan's freedom, no mention of the camp
The west does
NOT want to know about Ocalan -
BUT - if Kurds
UNITED and protested against the flooding of Hasankeyf that could get worldwide publicity - I know this because I was involved in the original campaign - we were on BBC News and other programs - we were in many newspapers and media outlets - at that time we did achieve a temporary hold on the project - many of those involved in that campaign were non-Kurds - many of the Kurds who were involved were from SK not NT even though there are many more Kurds from NK than SK in England
Kurds NEED publicity Unless Kurds obtain
POSITIVE PUBLICITY nobody is going to take ant notice of them
Kurds in NK are misguided and misinformed - they have been lead to believe the Ocalan/erDOGan lie of a peace plan with more freedom and rights for Kurds - the reality is that the EU has told Turkey that unless it grants Kurds more rights the negations for Turkey's membership will not progress - nothing at all to do with Ocalan negotiating for more rights - total rubbish
The bonus for Turkey is the fact that with the PKK on the retreat - Turkey is now able to speed up the destruction of Hasankeyf and the building of more military bases in NK - erDOGan is laughing at the Kurds
It is time that Kurds woke up to what is happening and the shameful way that a once proud and powerful spokesperson for Kurdish rights - Abdullah Ocalan - is being made use of to help Turkey assert control over the Kurds
