Kurds need MARKETING
The protests in Istanbul are being reported in the world's media - the same media that has NEVER shown any genuine interest in Turkey's attempt to destroy Kurds along with their language and culture
If there are any Kurds at all involved in the Istanbul protest, NOW is the time for them to REMEMBER that they actually are KURDS and they should REALISE that the destruction of Hasankyf is of far greater IMPORTANCE than a few trees in Istanbul
To Kurds in Istanbul I suggest you join in with the protesters, and wave banners and placards saying:
SAVE HASANKYF
A month later - the world media has moved on - nobody cares about what happens in Turkey any more
only NOW the BDP have decided to hold a series of protest marches
English adage:; "Strike while the iron is hot"
The BDP iron is in the FREEZER
I seriously think that the Kurds of NK need new leaders - ones who will publicise the Kurdish cause far better
I have watched:
week after week
month after month
year after year
as the BDP have ignored opportunities to publicise Kurds and win support for the Kurdish cause
I would say that their strategy sucks - only they do not appear to have a viable strategy - or any real strategy - least-ways not anything even remotely resembling a logical strategy
The main demand of the BDP's latest plan of ineptitude:
BDP pointed out that the main demand of the actions would be freedom for Kurdish leader Abdullah Öcalan.
That being the least likely of their demands to be grated - should NOT be their main demand - that demand may well prove to be a stumbling block and prevent any of the other demands from even being taken seriously
Where were the IDIOTS of the BDP for the past few weeks - did they not even notice the protests in Istanbul - with the current climate of unrest between the opposing factions in the Turkish political arena there is absolutely no way that erDOGan could release Ocalan
