Maybe its the same reason why the Brits dislike them in the Uk
"where theres trouble theres Kurds"

although I havent met that many Turks who hate Kurds. i think its the other way round.

Come to Bristol Uk and watch the Kurdish and Somalian gang wars.
they are no advert for thier nations.

no ur wrong turkish ppl hate kurdish TERRORISTs


ottoman
You don't mean , why do Kurds blow up Turkish people in their own country, Turkey,

This wont wash any more the whole world knows now the truth, that is why America Brittani and European country's all , support Turkey to whip out the pkk terrorists

I found your question a little? provocative (correct me if I'm wrong)as there is no such thing as Turkish (I assume we're talkin' 'bout the whole nation not individuals) people "do" hate Kurds. There is a big difference between a Kurd and a kurdish terrorist. There are tons of Turkish citizens (Kurdish origin) do live peacefully with Turkish people in various areas in Turkey

On the other hand, of course there are individuals,racist people, that do hate people by lookin at their religion,skin color etc however as we all aware that, we can not judge a book by it's cover

The turks hate everyone
even each other.
They live off the
fumes of each others
misery. They are
so consumed with
jealousy that they have
become accustom
to using racism as
tool to prevent themselves
from improving. They are
so ashamed by their
ignorance they disallow
themselves the honor
of telling one truth.
Oh yes we all know
how much they love
the Kurds just by the
kisses and the hugs
the PKK gives them
for their appreciation
of the turks kindness to
their people.

they always did, but the Kurds realized it recently.
And that's because in early 1900s Turks promised them lands, so Kurds helped them to carry the ARMENIAN GENOCIDE, and then they did not give them not only the lands but basic human rights.

They don't.

Never mind the rest. No one cares about sense. :(

There are many reasons to that, mainly because of how the kurds see themselves and in the way they interact with turks. It is similar to how blacks interact with whites in the US.

I'm neither Kurdish nor Turkish, but I will answer.
Turkish and Kurdish had almost no problem since Turkish government (Republic of Turkey, I mean) started the "homogenization" plan of the Republic.
Banning Kurdish language, even calling them "Turks of mountains" and similar things raised the nationalism in Kurdish people.
It continued until the ultra-nationalism Kurdish group, the PKK was formed for "liberation of Kurdistan".
The PKK stuck to terrorism to affect Turkish government and after that it was the real reason of conflict between the Kurdish and Turkish.
Kurds accuse Turkish gov. for being cruel against them and the government says "we have no problem with Kurds, the only problem is PKK terrorism". The mystery is that why other Kurdish groups and parties (non-PKK) are getting banned when they are elected democratically and entered parliament. Isn't banning them an insult to the people (probably Kurdish) who have voted for their popular party?
If they (the Kurds) had freedom and right to be active politically from the beginning they would never use terrorism for their aims.
Still until now PKK says if they be accepted as a political party they will give up their armed fight. But how, when Kurdish parties in parliament are closed for accusation of "having contacts with PKK" ?

Elif Shafak, the Turkish writer says:
"..If we had been able to face the atrocities committed against the Armenians in Anatolia, it would have been more difficult for the Turkish state to commit atrocities against the Kurds...A society based on amnesia cannot have a mature democracy..."

Turkey has to look at it again. PKK terrorism doesn't violate the rights of normal Kurdish people, who are also citizens of Turkey.
Giving freedom to Kurds will end this terrorist activities for sure.
Just like promising the Palestinians giving them their own homeland made the ultra-Islamic and ideological party, "Hamas" less popular and the pragmatic party "Fatah" more popular.

EDIT:
@ "some people":
Answering a question doesn't mean approving it. Did I say anything that can be referred as "Turks hate Kurds"?! Of course not. I didn't approve the questioners idea 100%, but there is some kind of problem that can't be ignored or denied, what I said was about that.
I'm afraid here some people make judgments not based on "what" one says, but on "who" says that...


ipek
I thought kurds hate us. I dont hate,only I pity them.


Totally Blunt
Hmmm. So Turkish people say they (we) don't hate Kurds, and foreigners with no Turkish contact explain how and why we must be hating them.

That's a hard misunderstanding to solve, isn't it? Maybe people should start taking OUR word when OUR business is concerned.

Edit: It is also interesting that people who say they are Armenians star this question and then go on to explain the reason for this imaginary hatred.

Life is so strange, clouds and such.


Realist
Kemalism defined as Turks the Kurdish fifth
of Turkey's population, suppressing their language and customs as brutally as it suppressed Islamic dress. As a leader of the "Young Turk" government,
Ataturk bore at least some responsibility for the genocide against the Anatolian Armenians starting in 1915.
The Turkish government enlisted Kurdish tribes to help them kill the Armenians, in return for what formerly
was Armenian land. It is this crime that made the Kurds dominant, on Turkey's Eastern borders, and left them to threaten Turkey's territorial integrity.
Also in many surveys conducted in Turkey on American sediment the Kurdish population have always rated high pro-American leaving only the Turks to stand alone as American haters.

The Turkish government has consistently thwarted attempts by the Kurds to organize politically. Kurdish political parties are shut down one after another, and party members are harassed and imprisoned for "crimes of opinion."

Adding to the grievances of Turkey's Kurds is the economic underdevelopment of the southeast. The Ankara government has systematically withheld resources from the Kurdish region.

The disparity and repression led to the formation of an armed separatist movement, the PKK, in 1984. While the majority of Turkey's Kurds do not openly support separatism from the Turkish state, many do support the PKK, as the only force fighting for broader Kurdish cultural, economic and political rights.

The state immediately responded to this threat with increased force, deploying some 300,000 troops in the southeast at an annual cost of $8 billion. In addition, the Turkish armed forces instituted a system of "village guards," paying and arming Kurds to keep the PKK guerillas out of their villages.

Villages that refuse to participate in the guard system face demolition by the Turkish military, while those that go along suffer under harsh reprisals by the PKK.

By 1991, 20,000 had been killed. Some 3,000 villages have been destroyed by the military in an effort to rout out PKK sympathizers, creating more than 2 million refugees.

I read many comments here that suggest that the Turks actually like their Kurdish population. This leaving one to only imagine how the disliked would be treated in Turkey.
