Kurdish region, they dont have the greatest relationship with istanbul, they dont have the greatest relationship with the turkish government. Its a completely different world. Its completely opposite. When their Armed Forces Show up, its not really lacked upon as a good thin. This is why i want to say thank you to our military thats here today, to the army, the navy, the military in general, the marines, the coast guard, even i saw a couple air force running around here yesterday. The fact that you are here and you are in San Francisco and you do this every year, it says a lot. Because we lack at look at this as a good week. We have a great working relationship and after being there and seeing that its not a Good Relationship and people get really, really tense when the guys in green show up, it makes me appreciate what we have all the more. Theres one other thing i really appreciate, by the way, and ill direct this to general speese being the trainer that he is, i got a whole new appr

Will come out in their community and help themselves given the opportunity. Now, again, back to the politics. Being a heavily kurdish region, they dont have the greatest relationship with istanbul, they dont have the greatest relationship with the turkish government. Its a completely different world. Its completely opposite. When their Armed Forces Show up, its not really lacked upon as a good thin.

America they would close down the block. This where my family has always had its stall. We got to make a living. What else can we do .

I dont know if its true or not, i cant comment on that, im just telling you what i heard from mue kurdish partners there. Whether its true or not is irrelevant because people wont go to the camps. In the meantime, the government says w
