Okey - I agree with most of what you are saying... And I especially agree with the part about the responsibility of the KDP PUK PKK etc.
BUT - The these political armed organizations/parties are not based on tribal system... Look at PKK - Here they have been communist for a long time and therefore have only ONE leader and everybody else is not so important... KDP STARTED as a tribal thing, BUT is not a tribal party anymore... yes they ARE fans of the tribal system - BUT people don't get positions JUST because they belong to a tribe.. they must be competent... PUK has been built on many different intellectuals ideals... but look today - WHO DOES THE PUBLIC SUPPORT???
Appareantly what they have always been familiar to - tribal systems..
why? well the feudal system is NOT dead... especially in Turkey... Here the tribes are VERY important...

Tell me more about why you think the PKK is a party based on the tribal system... as to me it is appereant that they are not.. They started as communists... and communists HATE the tribal system..

You a mixing the STUPID Kurds of the North with the educated Kurds of East and South--- Yeah - They are stupid because most of them are not educated... So they follow the idiot (In the meaning that he doesn't know politics) all around... There is like I said a much stronger tribal system in North - and this is becuase they are not educated... BUT THERE IS A SMART TRIBAL SYSTEM IN EAST AND SOUTH... Tribal doesn't mean stupid...
That is what the turkish state is telling Kurds - Beucause withouth the tribal system - Kurds will be the same as Turks... The Tribal system is important thing that has stopped the assimilation prosess... just read some books about it... and you figure it out - like the one written by MCdowl - Kurds - history, present and future...
