well, as a turkish woman, i can say turkish men are neither good boyfriends or husbands. generally speaking, they beat their wifes if those poor women do not 'obey' their stone age rules. and when women want to get divorce, mostly; they brutally kill them. in turkey, 5 women are killed per day! not per year or month.
even though the Turkish government consider itself as secular and modern, they do not seem to care about those honour killings or murders. also they claim that they rely on constitutional principles but as a woman i can say, their hands are covered with the blood of our lonely women.
did you know that there is a turkish expression of which those bears consider as romantic : "either you are mine or you will belong to the grave."
unfortunately, i am ashamed of living with those patriarchal, cave men of this country as a 25 year old independent woman.
of course, there may be exceptions. a few of our men are respectful to their wifes or their girlfriends. i wish you the best finding them. :)

What is the major point of contention of the Kurdish peoples of turkey?
Answer 1
International conferences have a nasty habit of drawing national boundaries along the crests of mountain ranges. This may be neat and tidy, but it is essentially a plainsman's answer. Of course, most capital cities are not on mountain-tops, and the atytitudes of statesmen rarely take into account the needs of the people who live in mountain ranges. Thus at each end of the Pyrenees one finds paople arbitrarily spliut between two countries; the Basques and the Catalans. While the Catalans have resigned themselves to being half in France and half in Spain, the Basques protest constantly. They are after all both racially and linguistically related neither to the French nor to the Spanish peoples. They would like their own independent mountain state. This would, however, probably not be economically viable on its own. The Kurds are mountain people, too. Their region, which they call Kurdistan, is split between Iraq, Turkey, Syria, Iran and Russia. They have their own ehtnicity and language(s), and would like to be independent. The problem here, however, is not that Kurdistan would not be economically viable; it has mineral deposits which none of the 'sharing' countries want to give up. It was all about a certain border in Iraq that the Turks wanted to be taken and they assumed that it was theirs.
Answer 2
Kurds are an ethnic group based around the Southeast of Turkey, in the borders or Iran and Northern Iraq. The war started off when ethnic Kurds wanted their own state and fighting to have Southeast of Turkey (Diyarbakir) as part of their land. However, Turkey refused to allow this. After losing an huge amounts of lands to the Arabs and Europeans in World War 1, Turkey has decided to not let 1 inch of land go. The ethnic Kurds retaliated through terror means. Since the 1980's, Kurdish separatists have killed more than 50,000 Turks in terror attacks. These attacks range from suicide bombings, bombs placed in public areas, and bombings and killings of Turkish soldiers. The Turkish military has responded effectively and the main terror leader of the militant group of the Kurdish rebels which is called the PKK was apprehended by Turkish special forces in the 90's. His name is Abdullah Ocalan, and he is being held in a island prison in Turkey. Terror attacks still continue, civilians and military personel still die from the PKK attacks. American intelligence is helping the Turkish government spot the PKK positions so that the Turkish military can co-ordinate precise attacks. The main front of the war is on the Northern Iraq, Southeastern Turkish region. The rebels have for a long time done hit and run attacks on Turkish soldiers. The rebels enter from North Iraq into Southeast Turkey, attack and run back into North Iraq believing that Turkey had no power in pursuing them, however, Turkish military has done campaigns in North Iraq sending commandos and air strikes.
Don't be mistaken by thinking all Kurds are against the Turkish state, I have family friends in Turkey who are Kurds and want nothing to do with the rebels.
The PKK is recognized as a terrorist organization by the European Union and the United States of America.
