Dark Clouds Gather over Kurdistan! War or Peace?


For those who are not able to follow the situation in Turkey and the Kurdish issue.

Very generally, the situation is not looking good. The Turkish state continue to deny the basic realities of the situation and are building up a massive military presence in Kurdistan.
There is talk of changing the Turkish Constitution but not substantially and not addressing the Kurds basic demands.
Abdullah Ocalan has opposed the changes as they stand as they do not go far enough.
The BDP are behind him as are the worldwide Kurdish Movement.
The choice seems now clearer than ever.
War or Peace?
The Kurdish side has bent over backwards in its attempts to begin a peace process.
There have already began clashes and the Turkish side are determined to push the Kurdish side into war.
