Turkish generals ‘get it’ against Kurds

Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan has said he will have his government investup to $12-$15 billion in Kurdish areas of Turkey to drain the force out of Kurdish rebels. The money would build dams and irrigation projects plus pave roads.

The government will also start a new television channel with Persian- and Arabic-language broadcasts.

Turkey’s generals are referenced as realizing military might alone can’t dampen Kurdish rebelliousness.
