Turkey Treats Kurds Fairly

I disagree with your editorial ``The Case for The Kurds,'' March 25.

The PKK (Marxist-Leninist Kurdish Workers Faction), which has been terrorizing the region for years, is based in Lebanon and Iraq, and these two countries have been exploiting the terrorist groups at the expense of the Turkish republic.

Turkey still hosts thousands of Iraqi Kurds who fled Saddam Hussein in Iraq in the late 1980s. The Turkish and Kurdish villages have survived hardships and misfortunes together throughout the centuries. Fuat Ulus, Altoona, Pa.

Why is Christian Science in our name?

Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The Christian Science Church, and we’ve always been transparent about that.

The Church publishes the Monitor because it sees good journalism as vital to progress in the world. Since 1908, we’ve aimed “to injure no man, but to bless all mankind,” as our founder, Mary Baker Eddy, put it.

Here, you’ll find award-winning journalism not driven by commercial influences – a news organization that takes seriously its mission to uplift the world by seeking solutions and finding reasons for credible hope.
