The EU is taking a greater interest in the Kurds and what is going on in Turkey. It's about time. Here are some excerpts from the article: ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Alexander Graf Lambsdorff of the Group of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe told the Daily News that there was a wider interest in the EU in the Kurdish issue for a number of reasons. "... The second reason for more interest is the extremely high number of arrests in the KCK [Kurdistan Communities Union] case. That has raised many questions in Europe about what is really going on concerning the Kurdish minority since it seems to contradict the dialogue with Mr. Öcalan. The geopolitical context is also changing and the Kurdish question is taking on a strategic dimension because of what is going on in Arbil and the mountains of Syria; this is difficult for Ankara, Lambsdorff said. ...Turkish soldiers are dying every day in the southeast and this is something which many in Europe do not realize, Lambsdorff said, noting that the fifth and last reason for wider interest was the mystery of the Paris killings of three female PKK members, which took place Jan. 9, only days after a critical development in the peace process. http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/eu...genda.aspx?PageID=238&NID=40511&NewsCatID=338
