Of course, the Times won't report on the war front of northern Iraq. What is going on up there, and why has it disappeared from my Zionist-controlled War Dailies?
"Police Clash With Protesters Over Status of Kurdish Party"
All Bush-approved, no doubt!
Erdogan was here just three short weeks ago, or have you already forgotten, Amurkn?
DIYARBAKIR, Turkey, Nov. 25 (Reuters) — The police used water cannon, tear gas and batons against Kurdish protesters in this southern Turkish city on Sunday in clashes highlighting tensions over prosecutors’ efforts to shut down a Kurdish political party.
The protesters hurled stones at the police and burned tires after being prevented from marching through the center of Diyarbarkir, the largest city in Turkey’s mainly Kurdish southeast.
The demonstrators shouted slogans in support of the Democratic Society Party, which prosecutors want closed down, and in favor of Abdullah Ocalan, the jailed leader of rebel fighters with the separatist Kurdistan Workers’ Party, known as the P.K.K., the initials of its name in Kurdish.
The police detained dozens of people during the clashes.
Earlier, up to 40,000 people attended a Democratic Socialist Party rally in Diyarbakir, condemning the Turkish government’s threat to send troops into northern Iraq to crush P.K.K. guerrillas hiding there. The protesters called for a peaceful resolution of the Kurdish issue.
And for that, they get BEAT OVER the HEAD by the POLICE STATE!
Selahattin Demirtas, a member of Parliament with the Democratic Socialist Party:
“At this rally, we say enough is enough. Enough of denying the Kurds. Enough of trying to solve problems through operations.”
Kadri Yildirim, a party supporter at the rally:
“We are here to stop bloodshed in this country, to stop the tears of Turkish and Kurdish mothers, to consolidate peace and brotherhood.”
What would any government do with that? Other than get overthrown?
Turkey’s Constitutional Court agreed on Friday to examine a call from state prosecutors to shut down the Democratic Socialist Party because of its calls for autonomy for the Kurdish southeast and its suspected links to P.K.K. guerrillas.
The party says it rejects violence and wants to secure more political and cultural rights for Turkey’s large ethnic Kurdish population by purely peaceful, democratic means. But it has refused the government’s demand that it condemn the P.K.K. as terrorists.
Why should they?
Does the Turkish government accept the terrorist label it has so richly deserved?
The Democratic Socialist Party has 20 members of Parliament, some of whom are also currently under investigation for comments they have made, though as lawmakers they have immunity from prosecution.
Many Turks view the party as a mouthpiece for the rebels of the outlawed P.K.K., which the government blames for the deaths of nearly 40,000 people since the group began its armed struggle for an ethnic homeland in southeast Turkey in 1984."
Yeah, MOSTLY KURDS murdered by Turkey!!!
Turks and the Zionist-controlled western media sure know how to hide and deny holocausts, don't they, readers?
