Kosovo is not Serbia’s Kurdistan, but Balkan’s IS/Daesh
By Elena BEKIC (Serbia)
In the article “Kurdistan – Turkey’s Kosovo”
Prof. Sotirović compared different aspects of Turkish Kurdistan case to
the Kosovo one, found some parallels and pointed out Turkey’s
hypocrisy.
While Prof. Sotirović is right in his assessment that Turkey is
hypocritical to say at least, he failed to expose the fundamental
differences between Kurdistan and Kosovo. His article contains some
inaccuracies, misinterpretations and lacks in detail. Such an imprecise
comparison may lead a reader who is not familiar with Balkans to acquire
a false impression. A reader might come to conclusion that Kosovo
Albanians had experienced the same level of suffering and injustice as
did the Kurds which later led them to rebellion. That would seriously
mislead the readers.
To substantiate this view let’s point out few errors in the article in question.
