Joost Lagendijk

It is only by breaking the vicious circle of provocations and violence that there is a realistic prospect of development for South-East Anatolia and full cultural and political rights for the Kurds. Continued violence not only means that this goal remains unobtainable, it will also make the Kurds lose their support within the EU."
