As result, by the 1980s and 1990s, the Kurds formed a number of terrorist organizations, such as the PKK (Kurdish Worker's Party) in 1984, to fight against the Turkish government and gain the rights politically denied to them. To this day, the Turkish government still indicts public officials who use the Kurdish language and prevents the establishment of any radio or television station where the majority-language is Kurdish.
