Let me give you another example of manipulation: https://twitter.com/AKGenclikGM/status/384629580226506753 - In this picture, they're wrote "Now, Q - W - X are free" in Turkish

Let's check English version of that: https://twitter.com/AKGenclikGM_en/status/384649333884588032 "Kurdish letters are now free"

..there is no ban for usage of Kurdish letters in public. As i said, because of Q, W, X letters are not in Turkish alphabet, they're just don't allowed to use these letters in names. They just added q - w - x to Turkish alphabet (btw think about it; USA changing their alphabet, adding another letters, i think general reaction would like "what") That's why they just write "q - w - x are free" in Turkish version. But in English version, sadly, they're saying kurds can't use their alphabets and they're dramatizing the status of kurds.

Such manipulations are typical for the pro-Islamic AK Party. This was not a democratic reform, it's just propaganda. There are no x, w, q letters in Turkish language hence no place for them in Turkish alphabet. A true democratic reform would be to legalize the Kurdish alphabet and the Kurdish language as a separate language. (And I'm saying that as a so-called 'Kemalist')

+1. And they're step by step trying to create jihadist Turkey just like Iran: http://img160.imageshack.us/img160/5756/77201414.jpg (before - after)

If I had a penny for every time I heard that claim... 30 years ago they used to use the same scare sentence over and over. Please get over with it.

[diorray]

So you're implying that you're 50~ years old. Sure, sure :))

[afsina]

40. close enough.

I have no idea about what is going on in Turkey or what has happened before, much less why.

That said, the image you have posted is the sort of propaganda that I saw after 9/11.

As a matter of fact, the women participating in a parade are more disciplined than the women wearing burqa out of their own conviction.

Notice how the comment you are replying to is contradicting you by implying that the Kurdish alphabet and language is not legalised.

Surely then, it should be easy for you to find a reference that contradicts the sources I presented.
