message: As I have told davenbelle earlier on, the criticism section is not in accordance with wikipedias neutral point of view policy. It is biased and one sided. --Cat out 19:16, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Criticism section

message: The claim that the construction of the Ilica Dam is aimed to destroy the Kurdish cultural treasures is not valid. It was published in the report of a clearly anti-state separatist organization, and aims to slander the importance of this project. Please take it off.Calcus 22:43, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: The GAP has been criticized for the fact that damming the regional rivers will flood a significant portion of the historical Armenian and Kurdish homelands, effectively erasing the cultural and archaeological history of those displaced peoples.
Third, there are things that are not criticism in the Ilısu section.
Fourth, references http://www.khrp.org/publish/p1999/99G.htm and http://www.dams.org/kbase/submissions/showsub.php?rec=SOC104 have the same text. The e-mail address of Kerim Yildiz is  khrp AT khrp.demon.co.uk (see  ). They are the same references. The additional info I mentioned is also from these references, they are important as well, as they give a general information about the project.
Fifth, the last section makes claims with no references, it is definitely disputed.
The title of last section should be changed imo, only the first sentence is about displaced people. Just criticism may be a better title.

message: It would be better to keep it there, at least some portion of it.
Did these criticisms pop up before the project or after the project?
Anyway, I guess you guys all knew about this (from Hasankeyf):
:According to Bugday Association, based in Turkey itself, and which focuses solely on promoting environment-friendly lifestyle and politics, recent field research conducted jointly by Ms. Huriye Küpeli, the prefect of Hasankeyf, Swiss ambassador to Turkey and  representatives of the consortium of contractors for the dam project, seem to indicate a suitable nearby spot for moving the historical heritage of Hasankeyf, an operation for which the Turkish Ministry of Culture pledges to provide 30 million euros.Hasankeyf Raman Dağı'na taşınıyor

message: Such a politically charged subject must of course be discussed in terms of opposing viewpoints. This controversy however should not obscure the basic facts of the subject. If those facts are in question, all sides should get their say, outside of the primary section, in the 'controversy' section which many good articles have.
Let's have those less personally involved write the main article. Was this text copied from the official Project website? That's how it reads. I didn't even get through the first sentence without tripping over rhetoric.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.163.128.130 (talk) 17:06, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Separating the primary article from political debate 

message: Southeast Anatolia is Kurdistan, yet the single mention of Kurds in this article is to equate them to terrorists.  There is a lot more to this than the PKK.  The whole purpose of this project is the Turkification of Kurdistan, something that gets no mention at all. It equates to the Sinification of Manchuria (now completed) Tibet and East Turkestan (ongoing).  Destroying a nation, a culture and an ethnic group under the pretense of beneficial development.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.51.185.47 (talk) 14:30, 14 November 2012 (UTC)
