From Genocide to Genocide: Turkey's Oppression of Armenians and Kurds

Berivan was found guilty of crimes on behalf of an illegal organization after prosecutors alleged she had hurled stones and shouted slogans at a demonstration in the south-eastern city of Batman in October 2009. This 15 year old girl was sentenced to 8 years for her "crimes." She is among a growing number of Kurdish youth being tried and jailed in Turkey on charges of terrorism. The prosecutions come amid increased political tension in the Muslim country as it faces a fierce backlash from an impoverished Kurdish minority outraged over government sponsored terror and oppression. Turkeys Kurds today are experiencing the same oppression, subjugation and mistreatment that the Armenians faced a century ago under Ottoman rule. For this reason, Armenian and Kurdish youth groups came together on March 24 to protest against Turkeys human rights violations, especially the political repression and imprisonment of innocent children.
