{"Image ImageDescription": "DIYARBAKIR, TURKEY - JANUARY 8:  Civan, a six-year-old Kurdish boy, attentively watches a lesson given in Turkish January 8, 2003 in Diyarbakir, the capital of Kurdish areas of Turkey.  Diyarbakir and the rest of southeastern Turkey are almost exclusively Kurdish, though schools teach only in the Turkish language by law, long a sore point among the country's millions of Kurds.  Younger students, who have grown up speaking only the completely different Kurdish language at home, often struggle their first few years of school as they learn Turkish. Meanwhile, the number of Turkish troops deployed across the nearby border in northern Iraq has been doubled to around 12,000 in recent weeks, as Turkey positions itself to make sure that there is no Kurdish uprising in case of war.
