STOP REMINDINS US PKK IS CLASSED AS TERRORIST

[Anthea]

For years I have though that the PKK need to market themselves better. Perhaps refer to themselves as "Freedom Fighters"

By using phrases such as

PKK is recognised as a terrorist organisation by the UN and the European Union

we are enforcing a negative attitude

Where the Turkish media and others have used such derogatory terms, perhaps it is time we replaced them with more positive terms and/or add a comment about the terrorist Turkish regimes

As far as I am concerned the Freedom Fighters of the PKK are extremely brave young people who were prepared to fight and die for an Independent Kurdistan and we should treat them with a great deal more respect that their one-time leader come traitor Ocalan has done

The PKK should be the army of North Kurdistan

There are 5 million Kurds in South Kurdistan

There are 25 million Kurds in North Kurdistan

Thanks to Ocalan there will soon be 25 million MOUNTAIN TURKS

The PKK needs to remain on Turkish soil because they are the ONLY hope for Kurds to have any sort of future in a North Kurdistan

In fact I was not the case, all the time. In 2000, I remember that USA removed the PKK and the Tamil Tigers to their own list.
But because of 2001 11/9, many organizations were added again on their list (in a general and paranoiac reaction, because it was unthinkable that the PKK would once made a terrorist attack in USA). So USA asked to UE to register the PKK as a terrorist organization again and since that time, it is still the case.

If the PKK adhere to the cease-fire then surely they could ask to be removed from America's list
