Kurds Go Same Way, as Armenians in Ottoman Empire in 1915
At present Kurds follow the same way as Armenians in Ottoman Empire in 1915, Agos Istanbul-based newspaper editor-in-chief Hrant Dink stated at a forum in Malatya Turkish town. The conference was organized by Malatya Businessmen Association (MIAD). "Armenians made a mistake by believing the UK, Germany, France and Russia that the superpowers will save them from deportation. And now Kurds believe the US that they will get independence in North Iraq. That is America. It will come, do what it needs to and will go away. And after that you will fight with each other,» he said, reminding that after WWI European powers did the same, the Zaman Turkish newspaper reports.
