what is the difference between amed(diyarbekir) and istanbul?
i came to istanbul just two days ago for my re-turn orientation. istanbul is the capital city of commerce, culture and politics of turkey, though officially it is ankara.
now lets turn to my question, what is the difference between istanbul, capital city of turkey and diyarbekir, capital city of kurdistan? we passed through diyarbekir on the way to istanbul. There are lots of trash, on the streets and every where. There are lots of young kids, that have been involved in juvenile crimes such as theft, fighting and even killing innocent people for money, worst of drugs etc. There is a huge unemployment rate, officially it is almost 50 %. There are even brothels that were opened by the government so that this can immoral the people, the Kurdish people live in there, this way they would be dealing with this kind of issues instead of fighting for their most basic human-rights. People in diyarbekir, are unhappy, unhealthy, hopeless, they are tired of those all things that were done to them by this unjust, unfair turkish government. There is no infra-structure at all, even sewing is running on the streets making all children sick and unhealthy. There is no government support there to make some good things, like schools, social-cultural clubs, swimming pools etc. though they say that they send most money to kurdistan part, or with their saying south-eastern part, none of it arrives to the region. because government`s fair, honest bureaucrats!!! are used to put all that money in their pockets with the excuse of pkk. which is completely made up by them. what about the limitless amount of money that military can take without even explaining for what it is?
on the other hand istanbul... There is no even need to explain Istanbul's`s situation compare to diyarbekir`s. of course there are some negative things in istanbul, too, but it is really nothing when we compare to diyarbekir.
allright, why is it so? diyarbekir is one of first cities of the world, maybe the first one even. it is almost as important as istanbul, geopolitically and culturally. but why is it in that much terrible situation? can it be because it is a kurdish city besides it is the capital? i think that is the reason. but the diyarbekir is not the only city that is in that much bad shape, maybe it is the worst though. what about the other cities of kurdistan? actually if they are not worse than diyarbekir they absolutaly are not better than diyarbekir. and what is the reason? why one of the prime minister of turkey during the 1920s and 1930s say that we are not going to build roads, schools and factories in the south-eastern of turkey, so that kurds don`t get educated and they would not want their rights, which also includes self-determination right? and why that politician was one of the most important politicians of turkey ever, turks know him well, hìs name was maresal or also known as fevzi cakmak? and why did government practice that policy until 1960s even after his death?
there is an explanation for everything. it is very simple, kurds were never seen as first class citizens, and that is the only reason why we were, are and will be treated this way always.
and there is only one solution to this; independence!
