| | Kurds launch hunger strike against EU terrorism list (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06) |
 | | The move on 3 May, which lined the EU up squarely with Turkey, has rightly angered Kurdish people throughout Europe since there has existed not the slightest hint of a threat from the Kurds for many years in either Germany, Turkey, or anywhere in Europe. |
 | | This provocative EU ban could not have been more badly timed; the PKK renounced guerrilla activities years ago and as of April has even formally wound up its organisation. |
 | | The EU seems to be totally accepting Turkey¹s agenda that the main issue is one of ‘terrorism’, when the reality is quite different: 4,500 Kurdish villages destroyed, almost three million people driven from their homes, the use of arms exports from Europe against Kurdish civilians, torture and state cover-ups of extra-judicial murders. |
