The Fate of Turkey’s Democracy Lies With the Kurds

DIYARBAKIR, Turkey-This past Sunday, four Kurdish candidates running for office in Turkey's June 24 elections rolled into the rural town of Hani to rally their supporters. The candidates, along with their campaign team, had been speaking from atop their bus to a crowd of some 150 people for about 10 minutes before a plain-clothes policeman ordered them to leave.
