The Turkish government would like you to think that the Kurdish organization PKK is responsible for all this. While the PKK responsible for some deaths, the government of Turkey is responsible for the vast majority of the killing of innocent civilians. The wife of Illinois Senator Porter has gone to see it for herself. She has seen these atrocities first hand and has experienced bullets whizzing by her head in the process. She'll tell you that the Turkish government is responsible and so will human rights watch groups all over the world.
Turkey is a textbook example of a terrorist state.
The Clinton administration has ignored this. Turkey likes to claim that it is a democratic government. Turkish politics are closely watched and regulated by the military. The military cancels the government at its discretion. The civilian government is purely cosmetic as are promises by this government to improve its human rights policies.
