I don't think that this kind of posts are useful on the way to solve our conflicts. You all know that these torture scenarios are not true and are used to take attention of western media to the conflict. Kurdish people are not a minority who are torturing by Republic of Turkey forces everyday. I blame such lies who have produced by provocateurs against peace.
I dont agree with this post. these are not true. please prove that to make all of use belive. This kind of post has an aim to arouse conflict all over the world. We are all friends as kurds, turks. Dont provocate.
When writing comments to what our participants write, please be respectful and do not insult anyone. If our participant felt to share something with the rest of us, we should at least give her the chance to tell us more about the conflict she lives in and her daily reality.
So, instead of posting comments saying that what she wrote is false, let's create an ongoing dialogue to try to bridge different points of view in a constructive manner
