(actually languages - as there are many different dialects in Kurdish which do not even understand eachother properly)
I may have made an overstatement:
the differences are not that severe but the language has basically two main dialects : Zaza and Kirmanchi with numerous regional variants
I agree there is a huge economic problem in the Southeast. I also think there were mistakes made on both sides and the economic problems of the Southeast stem from those mistakes. However, a few language schools is not enough. RTUK programming regulations for broadcasting in Kurdish is not enough.
There are still problems with torture while in detention and with impunity that security forces enjoy. I know about cases of torture and sexual abuse of Kurds by Turkish security forces from my NGO and UN contacts working in South Kurdistan.
Kurds make up 20% or so of the total population, therefore they are a minority ethnicity and as long as they are willing to deny their ethnicity they enjoy full rights.
I know that things have gotten better but there is still a way to go.
If I go to Turkey, will I be permitted to enter with my Kurmanci dictionary?
