The Congress had applauded his message vigorously.
Turkey, following the French model, only allowed for one kind of citizen, and resisted the notion of different kinds of Turkish citizens. Some Turks of Kurdish extraction, however, wanted to maintain a separate identity, language, culture and sought political independence to join with the Kurds of Iraq and Iran to form their own nation. They used violence to attain their political ends. The Turkish response to this separatist threat was particularly heavy handed and the conflict escalated.

Bob Dylan is an American singer-songwriter, author and visual artist. Often regarded as one of the greatest songwriters of all time, Dylan has been a major figure in popular culture for more than 50 years. Much of his most celebrated work dates from the 1960s, when songs such as "Blowin' in the Wind" (1963) and "The Times They Are a-Changin'" (1964) became anthems for the civil rights and anti-war movements. His lyrics during this period incorporated a range of political, social, philosophical, and literary influences, defying pop music conventions and appealing to the burgeoning counterculture.
