    Did they also tell Syria that they couldn't handle the truth?

  2. The truth is that Kurds are not mountain Turks. I have heard such a statement from a proud, chauvinistic Turk.

    For governance there needs to be one language. In turkey that would be Turkish. So Turkish has to be taught in all schools. At the same time local schools could and should be able to teach Kurdish.

    the Kurdish segment of the population is growing faster than the Greek segment, which has the thin Turkish veneer.

    No, chaunistic Turks cannot handle the truth.
