Hello Pinar,
I am sorry and very sad to hear from a Turkish cyclist to hear that cycling is dangerous because of terrorists!! I have cycled in Turkey for 20 years now, about 15 times all over the county, I have been invited by PKK guys to their marriage in the evening and to supper by Turkish military next day.
Good luck both groups didn`t know each other,.....once cycling was forbidden east of Elazig by military command, but they were always friendly to me as a tourist, certainly not to the people who lived there.
I hope the day will come that Turkish and Kurdish people can live in harmony and peace.
