Thread: Turkish PM apologizes over 1930s killings of Kurds

As it can be seen,4 of the pictures that was posted as "Dersim" turned out to be fake (for this particular matter of subject).The others except 1-2 of them look suspicious too.Trying to insult a country with random photos picked from Google.

lol yeah yeah , turks never committed any genocides it is kurds and Armenians who did genocides towards turks , and Erdogan is just making things up ,right ???

some of you turks are just too hypocrite and too kemalist to admit any of your criminal history .

No need to get upset because an educated person corrected your mistakes.

Adding some political terms to your sentences to label people wont make you win arguments and make you seem more intelligent in internet.

If you are looking for a criminal.Better focus to your own society.Because you mostly dont have anything else except rebellions and betrayal.Now you promote the prices you payed as being the victims of everything.

ANKARA, Turkey (AP) - Turkey's prime minister has apologized for the first time for the killings of nearly 14,000 people in a bombing and strafing campaign to crush a Kurdish rebellion in the 1930s

Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Wednesday: "If there is need for an apology on behalf of the state ... I would apologize and I am apologizing."

It was the first official apology from the Turkish government over the killings of 13,806 people in the southeastern town of Dersim _ now known as Tunceli _ between 1936 and 1939.

Erdogan was responding to demands from Kemal Kilicdaroglu, the leader of the main opposition Republican People's Party that Turkey must face its past. Kilicdaroglu's family is rooted in Tunceli.

Erdogan said Kilicdaroglu must also apologize because his party was in power at the time.

Hi Dibege

I hope eveything goes well with you....

Your comment is a little bit strange cos those Alawis are Kurds at the same time....

There are Sunni Kurds and Alawi Kurds,as well.

I also wish a more brave and more general apology but it is also a great success for Turkish Political life and democracy....

Im really so sorry for Dersim Genocide I wish such things never happen in future no-where...
