There is no future for Turkish Kurds. The prime minister of Turkey made it clear during his last visit in Brussels, last Friday. Since the Turkish Kurds still sustain the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), listed as terrorist organization, this minority has to be treated as deserved. «There is no difference between Daesh and PKK», stated Ahmet Davutoglu during the press conference held with the president of the European Council, Donald Tusk. The prime minister of Turkey criticised the EU attitude in leaving Kurds demonstrating against the government of Ankara while showing flags of PKK and his leader, Abdullah Ocalan. According to Davutoglu, no possibilities of strike have to granted to Kurds who support PKK. «We must not to make difference between terrorists. No matter if they are PKK or other organizations». These statements had just the political purpose of renew the alliance against Kurd. The European Union declared the Kurdistan Workers' Party a terror organization already in 2001 (after US pressure following the 9/11 attacks), and the prime minister of Turkey only recalled the need of closing both eyes in front of the Kurd issue. Something Europe is going to grant in return of Turkish engagement on migration. Davutoglu's speech sounded like nothing but a farewell to Kurds.
