Government cultural initiatives such as the state-run 24-hour Kurdish television channel TRT Ses is viewed by Burkay as an example of how far Turkey has come in recognising the "Kurdish reality" since his departure three decades ago.
Vladine kulturne inicijative poput cjelodnevnog državnog kurdskog TV programa TRT Ses Burkay smatra primjerom koliko je daleko Turska stigla u prepoznavanju "kurdske stvarnosti" od njegovog odlaska prije tri desetljeća.
