How dare anyone use the most recognisable expression of the Kurdish people, the Kurdish language ? Kurds must not be recognised, Turkish nationalists insist, so let's prohibit the Kurdish language. Fortunately there are Kurds, there is a Kurdish language, whether recognised by some Turks or not.
There have been Kurds before there were Turks so to deny their existence is part of the wish to annihilate their history. The RoC does not prohibit the use of any languages, nor the following of any cultural identifiers, so check with your mirror again.
No one here is denying there are "TCs",
except Turkey.
There are TCs, there is a TRNC, there is a flag, whether or not some people recognise any of them or not. (As for flags in general, I think that they're a reflection of an infantile disorder, so we'd be better off without any).
A plague o' both your houses!
How is there a "TRNC" ... it is a
political and novel construct recognised ONLY by Turkey ... So, why should we accept its "flag" on our soil ... when no other country would either?
Not only that, but this "TRNC" construct is deliberately set up on preexisting sovereign territory whose true inhabitants have been ethnically cleansed by Turkey. So the dirt is all in Turkey's house!
