- Abstract
This paper analyses the strategy of Turkey against the Kurdish Language that resulted in a purposeful linguistic suicide in Kurdish rejection. Long persecutions, which led to mass killings, Kurd's rehabilitation, incarceration, restriction of Turkish educational activity and, finally, the legal ban on media and printing Kurdish, prompted worries about the long-term sustainability of the Language. In addition, it highlights the processes of revival in political and educational life, which have facilitated Kurdish usage. I analyze the different perspectives and duties of the governmental authorities and other ideology organizations in promoting Kurdish in Turkey as a second local language to assess these continuous gains.
