Throughout the 1950s and 1960s, the Turkish government instituted a number of laws to effectively ban the Kurdish language such as Article 222/1 of the Turkish penal code. Kurdish culture was similarly repressed and all Kurdish attempts to resolve these issues peacefully and politically with the Turkish government resulted in assassinations and arrests. As result, by the 1980s and 1990s, the Kurds formed a number of terrorist organizations, such as the PKK (Kurdish Worker's Party) in 1984, to fight against the Turkish government and gain the rights politically denied to them.
To this day, the Turkish government still indicts public officials who use the Kurdish language and prevents the establishment of any radio or television station where the majority-language is Kurdish.

oppression is a very harsh term, yet many people forget the bad-doings of the kurdish people ie the atrocities commited by the pkk (kurdish workers party)
firstly, the Turkish government has denied many rights if the kurdish community, which they mainly inhabit the south eastern region of turkey. it is a crime in turkey to speak of the kurdish languageor teachings or any aspect of their culture.
The Turkish government has also isolated the kurdish inhabited region of turkey such as diyarbakir and gazientep by not building enough hospitals and schools needed for the vilages, however this would be mademore easier if the kurdish community tried to cooporate in a civilsed manner with the Turkish government.
