There is no objective media perspective at all so I didn't surprise this kind of article. The news is lack of evidence, away from the facts. I have been to Turkey for years, and a group of terrorists(probably Kurkish) was rebelling on the streets by vandalizing public properties. Turkish government has given them the equal rights for years, but they've opted for fight rather than reconciliation. Maybe nobody knows among you that most of Kurdish don't have to pay taxes. And also the government allocates a budget to develop Eastern Turkey with facilities such as schools, hospitals and workplaces. In return, they bombs these places. Is it fair?

The previous comment that Kurd in Turkey don't have to pay tax is totally false propaganda. They have been left underdeveloped, and frequently discriminated against.

There are lots of good Kurds in Turkey. So I would like to start by emphasizing only 'terrorists', not Kurds. To the people who made the previous two comments, terror attacts are not limited with Turkey today. Take a look: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Od2oSzVZQs&feature=related
Terrorists are ruining the order of Europe as well. Pls check out the terrorist group list of the world and tell what you see. Majority of countries admitted that PKK is a terror organisation. The mission of a government is to eradicate terrorism to secure its citizens from every race in the border of the country. Pls, before making a comment, think twice!
