Opis

With a foreword by Noam Chomsky, this is the most up-to-date critical analysis of the problems faced by the Kurds in Turkey.
Turkey has a long history of human rights abuses against its Kurdish population a population that stretches into millions. This human rights record is one of the main stumbling blocks in Turkey s efforts to join the EU. The Kurds are denied many basic rights, including the right to learn or broadcast in their own language.
This book, written by a leading human rights defender, provides a comprehensive account of the key issues now facing the Kurds, and the prospects for Turkey joining the EU. Kerim Yildiz outlines the background to the current situation and explores a range of issues including civil, cultural and political rights, minority rights, internal displacement, and the international community s obligations regarding Turkey."
