Erdoğan's war of choice is leading many young Turkish Kurds to join the armed PKK.

The PKK had had a cease-fire with the Turkish state for any years until Erdoğan broke it. If he had respected it, those youth would be campaigning for the human rights party HDK instead of planning to fight. Poor Kurds, poor Turks, as long as Erdoğan oppresses them both.

But that's fascism for you: scapegoat a minority, whip up hatred for it among the majority, and get its support to impose tyranny on all.
