KNenagh: A lot of former class mates at home will be very worried about their grandparents and cousins in Turkey.

Erdogan is dangerous and should be removed, but I would have preferred if they just voted him out of his job.
That is the problem. Let us hope no innocent people get hurt hug

Hiya V, wave I didn't hear about a possibility/threat of this happening. Know Erdogan was very controversial and people were calling for his removal, but didn't expect this.

Really ? I would have though they would have been used to it by now, considering that coups are a common occurrence in Turkey !!

I am sure you are Molly, hope you didn't misunderstand me,
no insult or offence intended to your good self,
what I was saying is, Turkish Kurds are a different kettle
of fish, they have it a lot better in Turkey, also they have
committed a lot of horrific bombings and shootings against
innocent people, more so that the Turkish military against
them, Fact,

A few weeks ago there was note here about the mass killing at the Istanbul airport but there have been several other killings in other places of Turkey just the media does not cover them so I am not surprised and who Turkey (gov) has sided with might be an answer to it.

That's very doubtful, considering over a million Kurds have been killed by Turkish troops over the years

There is always fighting with the Kurds (South-Eastern area) and that will go on.

There was a coup planned in 2010 but that didn't go ahead. The last coup before that was in 1980, that's a while ago. dunno

I do hope that they get rid of Erdogan (hopefully without bloodshed) and I have no idea how they will solve the civil war with the Kurdish population.

Kurds are Kurds not matter which country they are at because they have not country.

Kurds discrimination in Turkey is widely reported and even Kurds have been prohibited speaking their own language in Turkey.

“Article 42.9 goes further by stating that, “Aside from Turkish, no other language shall be studied by or taught to Turkish citizens as a mother tongue in any language, teaching, or learning institution.”

The killings of innocents by any group being Kurds or Turkish military are equally wrong.
