:::That organization also failed to include the likes of Greece and Turkey as members, so it means absolutely nothing. There are multiple definitions of Southeastern Europe, so why are you so obsessed with the institution in particular? Anyway, I'm going to get proper sources to verify Cyprus's place within the definitions of Southeastern Europe, and hopefully it'll put this silly argument to rest.

Revision as of 22:27, 8 July 2014
Article:Turkish language
Meanwhile, a heavy-handed policy of assimilation began to be imposed onto the Kurdish minority in Turkey, who comprise some 15-25% of the total population. The government especially opposed their language. Kurdish names, including the names of settlements, were changed to Turkish, no schooling in Kurdish was allowed and the Kurds were forbidden to use their language in public.
Explain how this passage is relevant in the article please, thanks. --Mttll (talk) 00:07, 1 July 2014 (UTC)
- I guess it's part of the history of the modern Turkish language. --Nadia (Kutsuit) (talk) 07:34, 1 July 2014 (UTC)
- Fair enough; I agree with you. I had it removed. :-) --Nadia (Kutsuit) (talk) 10:14, 2 July 2014 (UTC)

Southeast Europe (SEE)
Kutsuit, I do not want to begin an edit war with you or with no-one else. Having said that, I request you kindly to do two things: 1. Read the article carefully. You will see that none of the major regional (SEE) organizations included in the article have Cypriot membership or participation. Decide your course of action after that. 2. The expression "Cyprus (including Northern Cyprus)", other than wrong, sits between clumsy and ridiculous. Especially after one user added Northern Cyprus into the regional states there. Have you ever seen articles referring to "Azerbaijan (including Nagorno-Karabakh)" or anything like that in a similar context? Or why don't you write "Cyprus (including TRNC, the British Sovereign Bases, UN-controlled areas etc.)"? The TRNC may be recognized or not is one thing, inventing terminology like "Cyprus (including Northern Cyprus)" is another. Please change that and remove "(including Northern Cyprus)" nonsense from the text. The rest we will see later. (I will not revert anything today but tomorrow I may change my mind. :-) Regards. --Why should I have a User Name? (talk) 21:24, 8 July 2014 (UTC)
- If you want to revert my changes tomorrow, then I'll simply revert them back, which will make you go against your claim that you don't wish to engage in an edit war. I'll mention Northern Cyprus separately but I wont remove Cyprus as it is clearly classified with Southeastern Europe by numerous institutions and organizations, some of which I cared to mention in the history logs of the article. You can say what you like to say about what constitutes a "major" organization and what doesn't, but I'll have you know that one of the so-called institutions mentioned in the article no longer exists, while the other includes the likes of Austria, Italy and the Ukraine with Southeastern Europe. The point is clear, which is that Southeastern Europe has a wide range of geographic, political and socio-cultural definitions, and it's up to an encyclopedia to mention all or as many definitions as possible, so as not to become biased or one-sided. Any removal of Cyprus from Southeastern Europe, despite external sources that classify the country with this region, will constitute as disruptive editing in my opinion. --Nadia (Kutsuit) (talk) 22:15, 8 July 2014 (UTC)
