Turks are killing and oppressing Kurds.
Lets organize Freedom Flotilla to help Kurds!

While the majority of Turkey's Kurds do not openly support separatism
from the Turkish state, many do support the PKK, as the only force
fighting for broader Kurdish cultural, economic and political rights.
The state immediately responded to this threat with increased force,
deploying some 300,000 troops in the southeast at an annual cost of $8
billion. In addition, the Turkish armed forces instituted a system of
"village guards," paying and arming Kurds to keep the PKK guerillas
out of their villages. Villages that refuse to participate in the
guard system face demolition by the Turkish military, while those that
go along suffer under harsh reprisals by the PKK.
The war escalated dramatically in the early 1990s. Between 1984-91, an
estimated 2,500 people had been killed. Over the next four years, that
figure shot up to 20,000. Some 3,000 villages have been destroyed by
the military in an effort to rout out PKK sympathizers, creating more
than 2 million refugees.

Turkey's treatment of its citizens of Kurdish origin has been a
frequent subject of international criticism.
Kurds have largely resisted assimilation policies of the government.
The main strategy for assimilation has been suppression of the Kurdish
language.
