庫爾德人艱難中行進

　　11月11日VOA聽力：庫爾德人艱苦中行進

　　Diyarbakir wears the scars of violence that precededthe elections. A nearly 500-year-old mosque in thecity was the scene of a clash between Turkishsecurity forces and Kurdish separatists whomTurkey along with the U.S. considers terrorists.

　　Erdogan’s government re-launched the war onseparatists after June’s inconclusive elections, and the crackdowns continue.

　　Now, with Erdogan's party firmly back in control, Diyarbakir’s Kurds have woken up to the oldreality. Autonomy seems more distant than ever, and the road to it ever unclear.

　　The Kurdish people are tired of war, tired of armed conflict. They want to have a solution， apeaceful, a political solution for the Kurdish question.

　　How a political solution can come remains a big question. Many Kurds in the city boycotted thevote and the Kurdish party got fewer votes than in June.

　　The Kurdish legal party, HDP, promised before the elections of the 7th of June to forward, tosupport the peace process. And they said that if you vote for HDP, you are going to have theguarantee for the Kurdish people to have a justice solution, a peaceful solution of theKurdish question. So this doesn’t happen.

　　Another blow to the Kurds in the elections run-up was the Turkish government's crackdown onjournalists, especially those with the Kurdish media like web-based news agency whose officeswere raided by security forces weeks before the election. Its director and writers went to jail.

　　The day of the operation they entered our building with guns. Like all members of the media, wehave press cards issued by the Turkish state. We showed these cards, but none of them caredthat we had these accreditations.

　　Turkey’s leadership has promised to restart the peace process. But with arrests andcrackdowns on the media continuing after the elections, and yet more parts of the regioncoming under curfew, there are no signs yet of when or how that process will start.
