PKK killed a Turkish Diplomat in Northern Iraq last week [0]. You can't really explain this by lack of free speech or human rights. There are many cases like this in Turkey's history where innocent people get assassinated by some cowards.

- chr1 7y agoThat is horrible, but a supporter of PKK would reply that Turkish army have killed and displaced Kurds in Afrin. War is an ugly thing, and everyone involved loses from it. The way free speech and human rights can help, is the same way it helped with conflicts in Europe. The country where speaking in kurdish can get an MP sentenced to 15 years for "separatist speech", https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_rights_of_Kurdish_people_in_Turkey https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_rights_of_Kurdish_people..., where there is a law for "insulting Turkishness" used against people like Taner Akçam, is deeply ill, and that illness is the cause of PKK.
