Well, after all the statements that have been
made that implicitly or explicitly equate the situation
of the Kurds with that of the Albanian Kosovars, perhaps
it is worth keeping in mind some differences. Certainly
the Turks have oppressed the Kurds very severely. But,
I have not read of mass expulsions in the thousands or
the burning of hundreds of villages containing Kurds. This
is going on right now in Kosovo-Metohija.
