Boradcasting Turk's speech in Kurdish

The correct title is: Broadcasting Turk's speech in Kurdish. Mr. Ahmed Turk is a Kurdish MP in Ankara. To support his courageous move in your comment, please be as civil as he is. Thank you.

To:  The International Community

Heroes or role models are selfless and peaceful people who courageously do something extraordinary and noble to make a point and help other human beings. It is no surprise that millions of people regard Jesus Nazareth, Abraham Lincoln, Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Mother Teresa, etc. as their heroes. Although none of those people might be flawless, the impact of their action to help others with peaceful means raised them to the status of a hero.

One of the flaws of Mr. Ahmed Turk might be his lack of courage to change his name so it reflects his own identity. Despite this simple flaw, the honorable parliamentarian Mr. Turk raised his status to hero on February 25th, 2008 when he spoke in his own language in the Turkish parliament to commemorate International Mother Tongue Day. Since TRT, an allegedly Kurdish TV station in Turkey, stopped broadcasting the speech, many missed the opportunity to hear Mr. Turk’s argument on TV.

If you consider Mr. Turk’s action heroic, please sign the following petition so it can be sent to a TV station that is willing to broadcast his speech in Kurdish.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
