I'm not an expert on honor killings, but it doesn't seem right to pin them on kurds. Isn't it more commonly a Muslim thing? and happen throughout the world, not just Turkey. Turkey is an interesting situation, because it's at a crossroads of being a modern European style state, but it also has significant parts of the population that have medievil mindsets (not just Kurds)

There are dozens of honor killings in the US even, and it's my understanding it's not a Kurdish thing, more like extremist Muslims from Africa and parts of the Middle East. Maybe kurds engage in it too, so maybe it's not extremist Muslim related. Kurds are not Muslim correct? aren't they traditionally persecuted by Turks (and everyone else for that matter)?
