Support, although ofcourse the Kurdish name for this incident must then be used alongside the Turkish one.

Support - same event. This is more extensive and NPOV.

Rudaw
The Rudaw links are dead. But the main Rudaw news (the link I posted) was saying that 36 people were killed, not 50. That 50 number was claimed by a biased Rudaw columnist based on an initial report by PKK.

Why Massacre??
This incident can not be defined as a "massacre" (as described in the article also). Massacre is totally a different act, where there is generally evil will. This is quite obvious when the definition of
Massacre and the "
List of events named massacres" are examined/analyzed carefully.
In addition to that, the official name of the place is Uludere, not Roboski.
Therefore, it would be appropriate to name the article as "Uludere incident" or "Uludere/Roboski incident", as per
[1]. There is no need to "poison" wikipedia with emotional preferences & political issues. With the existing name, there are lots of
NPOV and
COI issues.

"There is no need to "Poison" wikipedia ith emotional preferences & political issues.", I think there is no need to hide your political preference and your emotions about kurds too! Maybe you have to search some thing in yourself, because in fact there is no need to trivialize "Turkish governments crimes"! — Preceding

What 'Conflict of Issue' is there with this article? That seems a strange complaint ...

Note: neither "massacre" nor "incident" are
proper nouns, and thus should not be capitalized.
