Just as Guernica was a symbol of the Spanish civil war, Roboski (Turkish Uludere) is bound to become a symbol of Turkey’s Kurdish problem.
Guernica was a small village in the Basque region of Spain. On April 26,1937, it was bombed by Franco’s forces in the Spanish civil war. Hundreds of innocent people were killed. What made Guernica unforgettable was no doubt Pablo Picasso’s timeless painting inspired by that event.
