Goodday to you sir
Thanks so much for making a video about the Libyan Civil War!
Japan doesn't involve any war, but Toyota is not limited to that.
Toyota is a war lord in the middle east
toyota is the official sponsor of isis
I love japanese pickups perfect war machines thanks overworked to death island people!!!
Toyota are war machines
Shinzo wasn't wrong to try getting rid of that Article 9 by champion of human rights
26:06 one of the most devastating and complicated situations in the world, but seeing the the US and Iran on the same side against Israel and France is always so unfathomable that all I could do was laugh. Foreign affairs is endlessly messy.
You mean palestine
Palestine ❤
To be honest, except Turkey, UAE, Egypt and Russia, no one was really commited to supporting their preffered side much. It was only thanks to Turkey that UN recognized government of Libya survived Haftar's assault and defeated them. But they weren't strong enough to capture all of Libya either.
I don't see much different between Iran and Israel. Criminal regimes running a criminal country.

14:52 i remember how much we as Turkey tried to buy patriot air defence systems and how hard usa tried to not sell back in 2010-12 era. we needed the air defence system more than every other nation since there are wars waging on our north, east and south sides. america just did not sell it and and this led us buying s400. even trump admitted that.
Turrek Systeem ! All Paranoïde
Bro why would a country trust you when you can just change side by threatening your partner ally by buying from its enemy? Besides turkey wants the inner workings of patriot to be in the deal, to which US didn't even give information to its most closest allies. Turks also want to know the inner workings of S400 too, but ofc russia is not stupid.
There so many conflicts. Saudi Arabia once bought weapons from USA to help defend against Iran, but Saudi attack Yemen instead.
@@night8285A country is usa thats trying to rule the world and already rules media when they see a country like turkey need them they always make things harder thats not about trust problems that’s about what they’ll earn when they support turkey
@@night8285 Remember that Turkey bought S400 long after AFTER USA refused to sell patriots. Turkey has the right to defend itself, and when its allies refuses to sell defense weapons needed to do so then Turkey has a moral obligation to buy whatever weapon is available to protect its people.
Wow, just stumbeled upon this channel / video, what a great content creater you are ! I'm a new fan, hoping for more interesting vids ! Keep it up 💪
8 The Turkish state does not disturb the Kurds. But the autonomy of the Kurds, that is, a handful of land belonging to the Kurds, disturbs the Turks. With this hypocrisy, they call the Kurds brothers.
Wow this one had a lot of geopolitics that lie outside the main media’s scope. Very interested to see how tight a game is being played in Syria by Turkey and Russia
mainstream media isn't designed to keep you fully informed (keyword: fully)
Don't forget Israel and iran
Turkey are in the right on most things. They get so much unnecessary hate.
Everything that is of substance is outside the media scope it seems
@@zccau2316 intentionally diluting the demographics of an area to assist in the already blatant and rampant repression of an entire people isn't morally sound
What a complicated mess!
The great thing about this program is that it explains the motivations of countries allying with different groups which is something news agencies are clueless about or doesn’t make a good sound bite for them.
Is not really that complicated. Both Syria and turkey are govern by despots, while the Kurdish side emphasizes democracy and the liberation of it's people. Since democracy poses a treat to despots, not to mention that they are generally hates by the west as well for having (ever so slightly) "leftist" ideology...
That's just a minuscule part of why the Kurds are always in constant treat, even when they are constantly fighting against terrorist, more than the syrian/Turkish army, sometimes
It's really not, the Kurds deserve their own state or at the very least autonomy! Maybe, if all these shitholes with dictators in charge, gave them some autonomy and freedom they wouldn't feel the need to secede! Anyone who doesn't see the Kurds as 100% the victims who are owed some level of independent statehood is an idiot!
@@PickyPaige well let's not be this harsh. Most american don't know where Mexico is, let alone Kurdistan. So it is not surprising some people approach this subject with a bit of "bothsides-ism", even when if you read just Abit on the matter you immediately know who are the bad guys and who are the victims.
@@33up24 Not Surprising sure. But it doesn't change the fact that supporting Turkey in these Actions is almost no different then what Russia is doing. Americans are ignorant because we have our own Continent. And the Cult of Ignorance in the US. It is Seen as being MORE REAL. Donald Trump despite obviously being a Dumbass seemed very Genuine to many people LITERALLY BECUASE HE WAS A MORON.
Turkey are in the right on most things. They get so much unnecessary hate.

Thanks very informative godspeed
As a Syrian, all I can say is that this is probably one of the most complicated wars/political issue in history, its all literally a chess game.
I feel bad for you
Your country is getting gang banged bbc style and its not gonna get fixed for years
in history?? have you ever read a history book before?
@@emir7135 yes and this shit seriously is incredibly fucking complicated, I am not kidding it's mind boggling and terrifyingly sad when you consider all the parties who are fighting each other and the combinations of which are working together... I understand I am opening myself up to another snarky comment but whatever, this stuff is bonkers and frustrating as fuck
Dudes right, I can’t think of another conflict that’s as convoluted as the Middle East right now
@@aldrans1998 Every country went through that, this time it was our turn. And sadly Syria's location is very important meaning other powers constantly want to hold influence/power in the region so that leads the war to go on.
Watching this after the devastating earthquake and wonder how much this event has changed this ambition
Yeah literally it will take decades before Turkey to make this happen,. I feel bad for the innocent people that died or it's about to die, but not for the Turk government
I expect not much since war is a cherished distraction from domestic problems.
The earthquake will only have a small impact on this moving forward (unfortunately). This is nothing new for the region. Its been going on since the Ottoman Empire and will continue long after we're gone.

Well done. Thank You. 🌍
Thank you, as a Turk it was nice to see an objective and well compositioned video about the subject. We are in the middle of the selections and all our people are quite distressed at the moment, including me. Mostly because of the state of economy, refugee problem, terrorist organisations... But I believe neither of the presidents could make it any better. I stopped trusting politicians long time ago.
Also, to clarify, no. We don't declare a war against Kurdish people, we declare war to terrorist acts. If you "could" call it a war, of course. We fought together for this land back in 1920s, altogether as Turkish, Kurdish, Laz, Circassians and more... We won't divide our land that we all fought for. So stop saying stuff like "booho give their lands back" when us Turkish and Kurdish people clearly fought side by side to protect our borders and country.
question for you as a person living in Turkey, any possibility that the bombing was a false flag operation?To justify actions against Kurds?
Your government is attacking the most democratic front in Syria. Kurds have never been fascists and racists like you. They have not genocided other ethnic groups like you. Take a look at the past, the genocide and denial of Armenians, Kurds and Arabs, etc. and naming their motherland as Turkey. Of course, we Kurds are never looking for revenge, we just want you to leave us alone. We were not enemies with the Turks, Arabs and Persians, they were the ones who tried to harass us at the same time.
@@ivanvuk4372 I live in Istanbul so I haven't encountered terror acts with my eyes. But there are people I know that live there, some report that there are many Kurdish flags and they don't let Turkish people show their flags, they threaten them. A police officer that we know reports these. One of my friend's cousin lived in east region, he was taken to mountains. Being taken to mountains means joining the terrorist organisations with guns in the field, btw. Some are encouraged, some are threatened, some women are raped before taken to mountains.
Also, there are many martyr news, there are even teachers that were murdered in the east regions such as Aybüke teacher. I don't think the government would bomb their own land to justify the acts; given all these examples, there is no need for that
@@potatp.3714 I agree with you. Western media generally to defame eastern governments, also they support the terror organizations and they manipulate the media of their own ideas. As a Turk I dont care to western media.
@@potatp.3714 thanks for the quick answer, damn news worldwide doesn`t say anything about that, giving out the picture that Kurds are on the receiving end of terror. I hope life will get back to normal for you guys, I have spent lots of summers on beaches in Turkey, a beautiful country with fabulous people.
I really quite enjoyed the animated segments on the map, it adds a lot of value to the video
It also helps to understand this whole dilema
Map gamers and enthusiasts visibly excited*
True.
Although I do take offense that the map of Israel is severed.
Can't say if it's because I am Turkish and already know a lot about all these topics or is it because you explained it so clearly but I felt like this was so well explained and I never felt it's too complicated to understand. Good job

Along with the great explanation, the map presentation and editing is extraordinary.
Indeed a geopolitical masterclass.👏👏
Nice video, unfortunately it does have some false/lacking information:
-France is not ethnically homogenous with them even dealing with their own ethnic terrorists in the past against the FNLC and the ETA (Corsican and Basque seperatists respectively).
-There is no mention of the Kurdish government in Northern Iraq that is virtually independent from Baghdad since 1992 that has good relations with Turkey and allows them to not only conduct airstrikes in their own lands but allows them to set up military based in Iraqi Kurdish soil. The Iraqi Kurdish government allows this due to a power struggle between them and the PKK that culminated in a civil war in the region in 1994.
-Both the figures for inflation and the number of refugees in Turkey are state numbers that should ABSOLUTELY not be trusted. Inflation is reaching 200% on a lot of goods and the number of Syrian refugees has been reported as being 'stable' for the last 4 years.
-There was no mention of the fact that the first military operation in Syria by Turkish Armed Forces was conducted against ISIS forces that had reached the Turkish border. The plan was to show the Americas that the Kurds weren't their only ally in the region against ISIS (and ISIS has been practically dead for the last couple of years anyway).
-You did not mention the demographic shift that has taken place in Northern Syria during the civil war as most of the refugees to Turkey are Arabs/Turkmens (A group you entirely failed to mention) from Northern Syria. Before the war the region was majority Arab almost entirely with small Kurdish towns/communites (although I am not accusing the Kurds of ethnic cleansing its just that the Kurds who lived in the area wanted Kurdish rule so they stayed while the rest fled north)
-This is not a mistake but I wish you talked more about the geography and how it affects conflicts in the region (specifically the mountainous landscape that allowed to the Kurds to live with low outside interference until recent history but made them splintered and without a common goal of nationalism (again, until recently)).
That's just your opinion man
The video mentioned that Turkey initiating a relocation would result in a shift in Arab refugees to the Northern Syria so I don't think the video completely left out that part.
@@GEEZYEA777 the problem is that he left out the fact that the demographics there were already shifted compared to what they were 10 years ago
@@yungsteaksauceakalilwasher6571 Dont you think that Kurds in north-Syria also would have fled into Turkey like the Arab population did?

Great work! I am amazed
23:45 it is not UN recognized Turkish EEZ, it is Sevilla University(International Reltions department) map which is asked to draw by Greece. It is just recognized by Greece and EU, nothing more. But you need to know that UN recognized Turkiye's EEZ at 24:08 as you showed through accepting the EEZ agreement between Libya and Turkiye.

TH-cam is a big window that can allow mosquitoes like these to pass. So dangerous, even despite of the existence of wrong sourced media companies.
The sheer complexity of the geopolitical entangle in the Syrian territory and the tense and carefully balanced relationship between Turkey and Russia is absolutely astounding. I don't know how I'd even begin to understand a fraction of what's happening, had I researched it on my own.
But can I commend RLL for making such a ridiculously complex topic actually so accessible??? I pride myself in having a decently easy time in understanding complex geopolitical conflicts, but this is the first time I actually felt like, without this video, I would've been completely lost. The video is so amazingly well structured and it introduced every idea not a second later than it was needed so consistently, that I was able to follow a half an hour long essay on a multi state, multi ethnic, multi decade long, multi conflict web of war and geopolitics like it was nothing. Even beginning to untangle this myself would've been absolutely momentous.
This is not just knowing about the topic. There are so many ideas that are mutually exclusive here and that they wiuldn't make sense if they were introduced in the wrong order. By starting with the motivations of the biggest players, the Turkish government and the Kurdish nation, RLL managed to construct a very cohesive and consistent narrative that still managed to convey the sheer depth and complexity of the topic. That takes very real writing skill and, up until this point, I was never able to see it. This video outright amazed me. It has got to have been one of the best geopolitics video I've seen.
Ditto to everything you said. I was blown away at how well all this info was organized.
The sheer complexity of how the big players interact with each other in this conflict is confusing. if RLL did not organize and structured the narration, we will be lost in the middle of this video
Kurdish nation?
Yeah i agree with you he is well organized that's amazing there is someone knows the similarities between hell & my country 🙂
@@nono-ck5xr yes, Kurdish nation, in the proper definitionr rather than a synonym of state:
/ˈneɪʃn/
noun
a large body of people united by common descent, history, culture, or language, inhabiting a particular country or territory.
As a country the worst thing you could do is create division, animosity, exclusion and domination. You can then guarantee you will face an uprising.
Leadership and governments can sometimes be so stupid
"despite their claims of having nothing to do with it" he said as he talked about terrorist organisations who perpetuate these sorts of attacks on a monthly basis in Turkey
terrorists usually take pride in their attacks, so that actually reinforces his point

Rojava is not concerned with its ethnic demographics, it's rooted in Kurdish liberation but aims for the liberation of all people and welcomes all ethnicities into its borders. It is already a multi ethnic area which is held together by direct democracy instead of nationalism in the same fashion as an ethnostate

This was simply amazing! I realise you can’t account for everything in under half an hour but this summary was brilliant! I got a whole different understanding for these conflicts than I’ve ever had before!
if this video changed your view, it means you know nothing about syria and you will never know :)
The Thing is, usa lost the war in Syria. Soon Turkey And syria will do the handshake with support of Russia And what will happen? YPG will Lost the control. Which means usa will lose control and last american forces will leave the syria Soon
But if Conflict between Kurds and Turks will contunie ? If you make people belive that Turkey will harm the kurdish people in Syria...
So there will be a reson for Usa to still stay in syira.

"Sending millions of people to a war thorn country where they don't feel safe"? Dude they go to syria for holidays. After the earthquake some even told that they go for resting their head.

No one is talking about what the fuck America is doing in Syria, which doesn't share the same continent, but talking why is Turkey in Syria?
I wonder if it's true when he says at the end of all his videos "I would love to tell the rest of the story but TH-cam would demonetize my channel". Is it possible that could be true for every single video? It just doesn't seem like it could be.

The extremely sad true is that was the idea. How the European powers of post WWI divided up all the land was perhaps deliberate to cause chaos in the region and let European powers continue growing while the Middle East mired itself in petty conflicts. It is a lot like Europe 1200-1690ish with opulent royals and governments quibbling over the most random of things as the common people suffered. The only way this mess can end is if the people of the region finally get fed up with constant war. Took Europe AT LEAST 500 years to do that. Do we believe the Middle East is more or less stubborn?
I just want to point out that you have spelled the name of the Turkish president wrong and used an image of the Jordanian flag instead of the Iraqi flag in the first section of the report but overall the report is excellent and very interesting!
Thanks for your efforts!
Was just 4 U!
We declared war because Syria is sending refugees non-stop and now we are advancing
France isn't a great example of homogeneity...
What Turkey is doing to Kurds is what we did and sometimes still do to our own minorities, which are basically anything outside the former royal domain, something like 90% of France. The only difference is that we started way before Turkey, so the job is mostly done now. But there are still people alive who lived through getting punished at school for not knowing French because they were native speaker of a regional language. I met elders who can only speak in a regional language (Gallo or Brezhoneg in that case) and do not consider themselves French but rather under French occupation. In most places it's just a bunch of people sad because France killed their culture, traditions and language, but in some places (Britanny, Corsica and Basque Country) it's an ongoing issue. Corsica only stopped armed resistance quite recently actually (2014).

Lets hope this DOES NOT turn into a "great war of Africa" (also known as the second Congo war) like scenario. For those who don't know, the great war of Africa (1990s) was the bloodiest conflict in the world since WW2.
There's been a great war in this region for over 50 years now. The only reason it hasn't been so bloody is because the most important actor, Turkey, has chosen the path of calculated restraint.
it will not
majority of the casualties in the 2nd congo war where from starvation and disease.
Syria isn't nearly as susceptible as the Congo so while it may turn into a bloody(ier) conflict, the casualties will not even be close
Thanks, i will read about it.
@@SandiegoRockstar stop coping. Turkey is the only reason this war exist.
@@bigdaddyeddy1252 No, the reason is the terrorists.
You've just made a geopolitical analysis masterpiece 🤩👍 RESPECT 🙌
As a Kurd living in Turkey, I do not have any problems. I have equal rights. Every Kurd who does not disturb the internal peace in the country is as valuable as a Turk. The Kurds who are disturbed by this situation are the Kurds living outside the borders of Turkey. Apart from that, 90% of the Kurds living within the borders of Turkey do not leave Turkey and do not attempt to rebel because we are Turkey. We see their lands as our own land and the Turks as our own brothers. Kurds who left Syria, Iraq and Iran, please do not interfere with us and our Turkish brothers. If you continue to threaten our borders with the PKK and other terrorist organizations, we will defend the Turks and Turkish lands until the last drop of our blood. How happy is a Kurd who lives under the superior Turkish identity. and I'm a Turk
Exactly these people just want to cause problems

I think Turkey has it right. It will respect the border while simultaneously securing a safe zone in that country to buffer itself.
I wouldn't be surprised if the Kurds had it in their mind to nominally take over Syria. Which makes sense for them to prop up one of Arab factions in exchange for autonomous port access and control over Kurdist sectors of Syria until they break off.
the video should over at 0:58 cause on the map its showing the Syria have been divided. the Yellow area are calls SDF ( Kurdish forces) so Türkiye has no problem with a Syria. Turkiye has problem with kurdish rebellions teroristic groups who try claim to get a big part of eastern Turkiye. The Bases of the That Terrorist in located eastern Türkiye and northern Syria. so Turkiye make an operation to that are. they never planned to invasion or claim that areas. I am asking whole citizen of the world, If in your border country have pysically divided and you are getting attacked. terrorists bombing in your country and killed civillians do you support a military operation to there or not ? thats clear.
another wrong information is about the ethnich minority the speakers says 15 millions of kurds in Turkey. actually real population is more than this. also the Kurds are not minor population they are a people of Turkey. Its very difficult to understand for the nation countries. cause they can diverse the population minor and major or etc but for Ottoman leftovers countries the nation is not so important. as an shor information in Turkiye parliament there is a Kurd political party and they have 67 parliamenter and they are openly support the Kurdish independency. but in opposite side there is 230 kurdish nation parliamenter which is totaly againist.
Türkiye Parliament Etchnic diversiton
AKP Total 290............Kurdish Parliamenter : 135
CHP Total 144............Kurdish Parliamenter : 73
MHP Total 50.............Kurdish Parliamenter : 12
HDP Total 67.............Kurdish Parliamenter : 67
İYİP Total 40.............Kurdish Parliamenter: 10
total parliementer of Türkiye is 600 and 297 is Kurds.
The only HDP is support Kurdish independency with 67 parliementer. so what kind of ethnich minorty is is ? to understand a country people should know not a ethnic population numbers or etc. must know the culture and mutual history.
More videos like this please. It goes so much more in depth than traditional medias. I've learned more about this conflict in 30 min than in my entire life.
NO NO YOU CAN SPEAKA
It is still very simplistic. It doesnt Talk about divisions in kurds or even autonomism. PKK is no longer looking for independence
Most do not know that Carter (1977-81) was the main culprit for 9/11. He cut the funding to CIA foreign office, gave funds to help the Ayatollah Khomeini, and turned his back on longtime and vital ally the Shah of Iran. After Khomeini took over, they captured our embassy as America seemed to collapse. Iraq then invaded Iran, and Russia saw its chance and invaded Afghanistan. That was where Bin Laden got his start.
I am a Kurd living in Turkey. Certainly the PKK does not represent us. The Kurdish majority in Turkey respects the unity and solidarity of the country and there is no oppression or oppression. Kurds can live and talk wherever they want, however they want. In schools, they can receive education in Kurdish on demand, and they have organizations that represent them. The PKK forcibly kidnapped many of my Kurdish acquaintances against their will and forced them to war. The PKK massacred thousands of our people. We do not want a separate state, we want peace and tranquility. The events are not as the western media tell. (My English is bad so I used a translation)

Thank you so much for making these informative videos! I don't trust major news networks so videos like yours are where I get most of my news! thank you soo much!
I read the title as 'Turkey preparing to invade Spain'and was so confused.
SHIT THE COVERUP TITLE STOPPED WORKING - SIEZE HIM
Turkey has the rights to defend herself
the video keeps getting better and better. nice information gathering.
Like France is Ethically honmogenous... He lost me there
@@lordcommandernox9197 Wait, France isn't ethnically homogenous?
@@Teknas89 Was before the '60s maybe, not anymore. The genetic makeup of the population is drastically changing and so is the national identity as it is no longer comprised exclusively of Europeans. It just is, so that fact when put like RLL did, is incorrect. There are many Countries with a majority of ethnic nationals that would've served as a good example, France is not one the them, not in 2023.
@@lordcommandernox9197 Wow, I genuinely didn't know this. I guess we really do learn something new everyday. Thank you for sharing this information!
Right? I read your comment while watching the video and I 100% agree with u
This is my first video of yours I've ever watched and it was incredible.
thank you, very informative.
Before examining Turkish territorial waters, I request you to re-read the international conditions.
ok so how would article 5 work if the us just straight up invaded and annexed turkey?
This is an excellent breakdown of what is going on in that part of the world. You hear so much on the news these days but can only take so much in without a proper map and a detailed, easy to understand breakdown.
This is garbage he is Zionist popet paid by Israel and usa to talk garbage
All Fake!
Incredible and well presented video. Very succinct and straightforward on a topic often glossed over by major media
Thank you for not taking sides and not completely dehumanizing Turkey, unlike many other TH-camrs do. Turkey's internal problems have always been transnational ones, so it is completely unreasonable to approach our politics from a purely humanitarian perspective. This is a clear and broad analysis, expecting more. Thank you.

Why are Northern Ireland, Wales and Scotland not fully independent?
Cause they chose to stay in the union somewhere during their history. Wales was kind of integrated. Scotland was part of the union and not conquered. Northern Ireland chose to fight with the British during the Irish civil war. (Not 100% correct but it is about what happened)
Ok there is a bit of bias in this video. I am not Turkish, I am Polish but implying (11:28) that Erdogans approval rate is "Barely hovering above 40%" making it look like it's really low is just deceiving to say the least where half of the European leaders stay below 40% constantly. Macrons approval stays around 35 to 40%, Olaf Scholz have 30% approval rating. His approval rating is staying on the Western European level.
Well, please note that turkish political climate is extremely polarized and you either think erdogan is jesus' second coming (or more likely best thing since Prophet Muhammed since if you like erdogan you are likely muslim)or worse than capital getting nuked, %40 approval rating means he is quite likely to lose next elections, especially due to economical crysis and opposition finally being able to unite centre left, far left end even centre right and kurds in a tenous political alliance. %40 percent approval rating means almost %60 will vote against him.
However, according to the new Turkish Presidency System (which accepted with the 2017 constitutional referendum) at least 50% + 1 vote is necessary to become president. On the last election Erdogan's vote rate was 52.59% (24 June 2018). So I think it is okey to say that 40% is low for the standards of Erdogan. Now the new elections will be held on June 2023 and 40% is definitely not enough.
The importance of aproval rates in turkey arent linear but expodentional not only did this exact reason cause a shift in parlemental systems but also combining of multiple partys under alliances to 2 big ones just like it is usa
@@bilalsenay4689 you're conflating vote with approval
Even us presidents tend to be below 50% approval rating despite winning >50% of vote
Turkey is autocratic, so approval ratings should be inflated due to murder of dissidents
I watched two hours of videos to try and get a grip on this conflict and you explained it 10 times better in the first five minutes
Bravo. Very well done 👍

Turkey is interfering in Syria because the U.S. is already occupying the oil fields in Syria and Russia is occupying the Syrian ports on the Mediterranean

As a turkish person our government does not have any conflict with any kurdish person, we define turkish people as people who are legal citizens of turkey and not based on any ethnic character. However, pkk is a terrorist group that caused harm to turkey by targeting the civilians and resulting in a lot of deaths. Their main goal is to establish a new regime in Turkey and they are terrorists. Therefore, as any government would do, government of turkey protects it's citizens. In the media it is seen as in Turkey there is a discrimination against kurdish people but there are actually isn't.
If I wasn’t a Kurd I would believe your bs. The Turkish ID also puts X or XX in it to identify Muslims from non Muslims such as Christians, Alevis, Yazidis etc. to discriminate them. I mean your fabricated text sounds so lovely. Why don’t you mention that Kurdish was banned and criminalized for almost 100 years? That even the Kurdish identity was illegal? What about those massacres you Turks committed against Kurds before the PKK was found? (Dersim, Zilan, Roboski). Or that the Turkish secret service MiT supported ISIS terrorists in 2016 to fight the Kurds in Rojava? It’s also funny that Turks never mention JiTEM (a secret government organization) that abducted Kurdish civilians and Kurdish politicians tortured them and later killed them.
Lmao as a Kurd from Turkey I can confirm your government since Atatürk have always had a conflict with us, this is not a secret.
@@uguryzg Hi, in 20+ years ago, Turkish ultranationalist governments did the Kurds wrong, you're right. But for the last 20 years or something, good steps were taken and groups like PKK only serve foreign geopolitical interests. Today, Kurds have equal rights with a Turkish citizen in every aspect possible. It would be in Kurds' best interest to not work against their own country. Seperatism only hurts them.
@@albertnoble2727 the country of the Kurds is Kurdistan not T*rkey which occupied it. It is every Kurds fight to fight against it. Why don’t Turks support China when it comes to Uyghur Turks? Y’all have double standards
@@uguryzg Most Kurds don't support seperatism and love their country. Brainwashed PKK supporters are a different story. PKK kills Kurds who don't support them. They are terrorists that use Kurdish identity.
