Costner didn't cause the "row" - it was miscommunication between one of his managers and someone in Turkey and it got blown way out of proportion - he didn't make any comment but it was said that he supported the Kurdish initiative and those who don't suupport it got mad that he would have anything to say about it but he didn't say anything about it and it was the Turkish organizers who decided to disappoint 1500 ticket holders by making them miss the concert!!
