Kulturne inicijative vlade, poput državnog 24-satnog kurdskog televizijskog kanala TRT Ses, Burkay smatra primjerom toga koliko je Turska daleko otišla u priznavanju "kurdske realnosti" od njegovog odlaska prije tri decenije.
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.
