No it isn't very recent and I must add that USA's plans aren't recent as well!! These plans were made several decades ago and put in action, now if a country in balkans and middle east don't agree with something which involves USA, you realize that there is either a total change of government or riots by public.Provocation done by powerful countries in the World.My dads whole family comes from the southeast of Turkey and him and his family says they lived like brothers in their cities, had no problems. But after USA implemented communism as a huge threat, and there was a riot in Turkey between the right and the left wing until the Army went in and took out the government in 1980.It was mainly after that there was a enemy look against the Kurds, in addition PKK was supported by USA and made up by Kurds, that is also a reason for the Turkish public to look negative to the Kurds. But this is only the case in Turkey, think about other countries, the problem is massive as its plan!!
