What are three ways in which the Turkish government has oppressed the Kurdish people?

oppression is a very harsh term, yet many people forget the bad-doings of the kurdish people ie the atrocities commited by the pkk (kurdish workers party) firstly, the Turkish government has denied many rights if the kurdish community, which they mainly inhabit the south eastern region of turkey. it is a crime in turkey to speak of the kurdish languageor teachings or any aspect of their culture. The Turkish government has also isolated the kurdish inhabited region of turkey such as diyarbakir and gazientep by not building enough hospitals and schools needed for the vilages, however this would be mademore easier if the kurdish community tried to cooporate in a civilsed manner with the Turkish government.
