Shame whats happened but tbf he did kind of call it on himself.
SirBalon Posted February 18, 2018 Posted February 18, 2018 I've known about this for a long while now. He's seen as a terrorist by the Turkish government.

Yeah, it's very complicated and the story I've been given has two versions (as most stories do). One version I got was from A Kurdish/Turkish friend of mine and the other one from a full blown Turkish national. The problem there is that due to the hatred each side has for eachother the truth probably resides somewhere in the middle.

They won't see eye to eye because of his alternate ties to the then president of Turkey and how he wanted to come back and move everything towards an Islamic country. As you said in situations like this you're never going to get the true story because of whats at stake and who are involved too.
