I am a Kurdish Alevi from Dersim. The Kurdish people are one of the peoples subjected to assimilation and massacres in the 20th and 21st centuries. When I started school (boarding school), I did not know any language other than my mother tongue, Kurdish. Now, I speak Turkish fluently, but my mother tongue has been forgotten. Cultural genocide was applied not only at the language level but also religiously. Like every people, the Kurdish people have the right to self-determination. However, the moment you ask 'Where is my mother tongue, my culture?', you are labeled as a terrorist. The Kurdish people have been victims of modern nation-states for a century. We continue our honorable struggle for the end of practices amounting to cultural and physical genocide. We will always say long live freedom.

I'm not a Turk, neither do I care for defending Turks, but you're implying that if a large number of people from a certain ethnicity live somewhere then they're entitled to have their own country, that's a dangerous line of thought, especially in a region like the middle east, not to mention, it punishes countries who historically incorporated different ethnic groups native to regions they conquered into their societal structure, instead of exterminating them in a relentless genocide, "Looking at how the U.S dealt with the natives", that logic is fundamentally flawed.
@@Shervan96 I was unaware that Europeans lived in America before Native Americans, besides, your logic may partially apply to Arabs and Turks, "debatable in case of Arabs" but what about Persians? are Iranians not native to that land?
@@justplay1555 it doesn't matter to me, that's not my point anyway, they're free to live wherever they want, but just because they're a large ethnic group with no country doesn't mean they're entitled to one.
@justplay1555 There must be a difference with a large number of people who immigrated or comes from other countries and areas, and a large number of people who live there before and have own culture about their lands and mountains.

I am saying as a Kurd that you explained the Kurds very well. There were only a few things missing, you did not mention the massacres that the Turks committed in Turkey after World War II, such as Sadam Hüseyin. You did not add the Şex Seyit rebellion and the Zilan massacre. Thousands of Kurds were killed there. Thank you very much for everything. I subscribed to you for this video. ❤🙏🙏🙏

Your video on Kurdistan is fantastic! To understand the Kurdish spirit, it's crucial to acknowledge the Anfal Campaign. This horrific period in 1988 saw the Iraqi regime target Kurds with chemical weapons, mass executions, and imprisonment. Estimates suggest 50,000 to 180,000 people perished, including countless women and children. The brutality involved unimaginable suffering, with reports of burying people alive. Entire villages were burned and livelihoods stolen. Learning about this dark chapter adds depth to Kurdistan's story of resilience. It doesn't matter how you think and write comments, because you are being deceived and given wrong information by your governments. We are living in this pain and we have lost more than 20 relatives because of Anfal. All of them were innocent women and children.
In fact, although what happened to the Kurds by Saddam is horrific and cannot be justified, you exaggerated so much that you said that Iraq buried them alive! In fact, Kurdish militants sided with the Iranian army and killed Iraqi soldiers, and this is considered treason! They killed many soldiers during the war, but Saddam took revenge on everyone, even civilians. Saddam also carried out the same actions with the Shiite Arabs in the south.
The Kurds autonomy in the north of Syria is called Rojava and it's a fascinating social experiment. Based on socialist agendas and philosophies, they formed a governance system which implemented a very direct democracy with power to local communities and authorities, mandatory representation for women in governing and tolerance towards non-Kurds in the region
As a Kurdish person whose native language is Kurdish, when I was in the second grade in elementary school in Turkey, I did not fully understand the math question my teacher asked me in Turkish because I did not know Turkish. I tried to say something using Kurdish words, and the teacher hit my fingertips with a long pine stick. At that moment, I felt the pain throughout my entire body, and then I fainted from the pain. I opened my eyes at home. Similarly, for example, because I could not memorize the "Oath of Turkish Youth" that was recited to us Kurds every morning, which includes the phrase "I dedicate my existence to the Turkish existence," I faced the same violence. In short, from elementary school to university, I was subjected to similar racism many times by my teachers and Turkish friends, and despite being 40 years old, I still cannot get rid of these traumas, and they have shaped my outlook on life. When I acted like a Kurd around my Turkish friends, being myself, I was ostracized. When I tried to behave like a Turk, I was ridiculed because I couldn't succeed in being like a Turk. Thus, my personality became fragmented. This racism continues to escalate terribly today, and there is an atrocious medieval-level racism in Turkey that you cannot find anywhere else in the world. The strange thing is that Turks consider this normal and do not see it as racism because they do not experience it themselves and have all national rights. Did we Kurds have to endure these experiences in our homeland where we have lived for thousands of years and spoken Kurdish for thousands of years? Were Turks and the Turkish language important, while Kurds and the Kurdish language were insignificant?"I hope this comment is not deleted and that many people see it. Maybe it will help me overcome my trauma a little bit.
Crazy how selective outrage works…. It’s trendy to be pro Palestine but ignore the Kurds. Makes ya wonder why people get crazy mad when it’s the Jewish state but not multiple Arab states
Everyone in Turkey is a citizen, they have the freedom to travel, they can live wherever they want in the country, everyone receives free healthcare from the same hospital. Every people study at the same school. The Constitution of Turkey does not discriminate between citizens. Palestinians, on the other hand, do not have an identity card, do not receive any services, and do not have freedom of travel. You are being hypocritical. Türkiye did not build a wall anywhere and leave people behind or isolate them.
It is so sad how the Kurds have fought for over a hundred years for their independence, have been mass mūrdered, had their language completely suppressed, and to this day they remain a stateless oppressed ethnic group.
No friends but the mountains" (Kurdish: Ji çiyan pê ve tu heval nînin; Sorani Kurdish: ھیچ دۆستێک جگە لە چیاکان) is a Kurdish proverb which is expressed to signify their feeling of betrayal, abandonment and loneliness due to their history as a semi-stateless ethnic minority in the Middle East without faithful allies.
If you had seen how the police in Turkey looked at and treated us Kurds, you would have thought that a state was necessary for the Kurds and that the whole world should work for it.
you should be thankful to that police if they do not treat you like how they do in United States. Non of these police treat you like that unless you are acting like a traitor, mahir...
😂😂😂 nice lie i live in east region of Türkiye. İ didnt see any of police is asking for your ethnics. They dont even care who you are, what are you doing etc. İn Turkey you dont have even 1 negative right. Same as Turks
@@serdem9708 Since you are a Turk who was recruited, I am not surprised that you have not seen these facts. A Kurd can only be governed fairly by a Kurd.

I'm a Persian from Iran and this is my message to all the Kurds: I don't know what you've heard or read, but historically, linguistically and genetically you are and always have been Iranic people. You Kurds and the rest of the Iranians have been fighting wars alongside each other and marrying each other for thousands of years. Remember "Mahsa Amini"? Many Iranians most of whom Persians died because they came to the streets to defend her honor. A lot of us are dealing with the same problems you're dealing with. We want you all to live with us, but there are certain people in this world who've been intentionally dividing us. Bottom line is that we love you, but I'm sure particularly those of you who live in Iran know about the Bisotun in Kermanshah, if not then look it up. It doesn't matter to us if it's the iraqis, americans, scythians, Kurds, turks or whoever, we're not gonna let anyone to take even 1cm of our Beautiful Land. Either come live with us, or go find somewhere else like turkey, syria or iraq to build your country.
@@sak7381 they were handing out nation states and Arabs and Turks were at the right place at the right time smh. It's not just about having a right to have a country.

Unfortunately no where on this world people get handed out countries, heck even if they fight for it they may not get it. Nothing to do with what is right or wrong...

As a Turk, the PKK-YPG terrorist organization, which killed 40 thousand people in Turkey, mostly of Kurdish origin, with suicide bombings and various tortures, will never become a state. As Americans, you can cry all you want. And I would like to add that there are no freedom fighters who kill children or take children to the mountains and turn them into militants and engage in drug dealing who do not hesitate to rape and kill those children. Those who want to learn about resistance should research the 1919-1922 Turkish War of Independence
@@endalor3548 Turkey ban education in kurdish language in Kurdistan, in Land of Kurds, ban kurdish cultur, music, dances,...so has Problem with kurds. Remember Massacras in Dersim, Zilan, Kocgiri....in the 90s has destroyed oder 4.00 villages... has Problem with kurds
Trump abandoning the most effective force actively fighting against ISIS while claiming he personally defeated ISIS is definitely the weirdest case of stolen valor I can think of in recent memory.
I think the creation of a Kurd country could be the answer to the Middle East. It could stabilize the regional power. I hope they get own country because they are not treated well in the modern day countries.
It would aggravate the situation. The region is too diverse and there are other memories that want them. Plus, the governments are nothing but corrupt, so there wouldn’t be much of a change.
I really enjoyed this video. The animations are well done and you explained the matter perfectly especially for people who are not quite familiar with the kurdish question yet. But hopefully now they are! Keep up your great work 🎉❤
It is not the first time that the West has tried to divide our country, or even the entire region, and use some small elements as a knife. They always have and will always do this. As a country, and even as the entire Middle East, our states and nations need to be smart. For example, Kurds need to know this. When the West divides the Turks, the situation of the Kurds in the West will be worse than in Palestine. They need to be able to perceive this. Free cheese is in a mousetrap.

Bro the comment that I wrote is got deleted I can’t see it. (It was about Kurds killing children for Kurdistan)
the US is still working with the Kurds in Syria to a limited degree. I worked on a joint base with the SDF back in 2022. I was even able to buy and bring home a YPG flag.
Holy shit thanks bro! We thank you for your service! I am Kurdish and we all support YPG. How was your experience there? What did you think of the Kurdish autonomous project in Northern Syria?
Our friends are the mountains. We trust no one but the mountains. We have been betrayed too much and it has taught us that our friends are not people but mountains.
This is a video that all Kurds should watch and share, especially Kurds who have assimilated in Bakur and HDP members should watch it.
I'm not a Turk, neither do I care for defending Turks, but you're implying that if a large number of people from a certain ethnicity live somewhere then they're entitled to have their own country, that's a dangerous line of thought, especially in a region like the middle east, not to mention, it punishes countries who historically incorporated different ethnic groups native to regions they conquered into their societal structure, instead of exterminating them in a relentless genocide, "Looking at how the U.S dealt with the natives", that logic is fundamentally flawed.
Maybe because these people lived in these lands long before Turks and Arabs even exist in the region that’s why they own the land.
@@Shervan96 I was unaware that Europeans lived in America before Native Americans, besides, your logic may partially apply to Arabs and Turks, "debatable in case of Arabs" but what about Persians? are Iranians not native to that land?
@@justplay1555 it doesn't matter to me, that's not my point anyway, they're free to live wherever they want, but just because they're a large ethnic group with no country doesn't mean they're entitled to one.
@justplay1555
There must be a difference with a large number of people who immigrated or comes from other countries and areas, and a large number of people who live there before and have own culture about their lands and mountains. Yes we kurds deserve a independent country or autonomy in present contries for maintaining not forgeting who we are, maintaining protect our identity and culture! Now, say as a english or other nation, do you want to lose your parent language?
@@xxx-wk7gt This and that are completely different things, dozens of cultures around the world maintain their traditions and language without having a country of their own, not having a country doesn't mean losing your parent language nor your culture, seeking an independent country by taking lands from Turks, Iranians, and Arabs? how to put it simply, you guys are asking for trouble, so don't be so surprised when you see it coming your way.

Shouldn’t a nationality have a country with 80 million population?

@@ersankuneri4815 according to Google it’s 40 mil
And what about the many Kurds that are counted as Persian,Turk, and arab
Your video on Kurdistan is fantastic! To understand the Kurdish spirit, it's crucial to acknowledge the Anfal Campaign. This horrific period in 1988 saw the Iraqi regime target Kurds with chemical weapons, mass executions, and imprisonment. Estimates suggest 50,000 to 180,000 people perished, including countless women and children. The brutality involved unimaginable suffering, with reports of burying people alive. Entire villages were burned and livelihoods stolen. Learning about this dark chapter adds depth to Kurdistan's story of resilience.
It doesn't matter how you think and write comments, because you are being deceived and given wrong information by your governments. We are living in this pain and we have lost more than 20 relatives because of Anfal. All of them were innocent women and children.
kurdistan sufferred a lot from arabs, turks and iran. kurds are aryan and armenian origin but converted islam. Westerns must protect us.
In fact, although what happened to the Kurds by Saddam is horrific and cannot be justified, you exaggerated so much that you said that Iraq buried them alive! In fact, Kurdish militants sided with the Iranian army and killed Iraqi soldiers, and this is considered treason! They killed many soldiers during the war, but Saddam took revenge on everyone, even civilians. Saddam also carried out the same actions with the Shiite Arabs in the south.
@@mohammedkh4321you Iranian Kurds ironically supported iraq during iran iraq war? I didn't heard similar thing happening
This is not exaggeration, yes Saddam did buried us alive!
@@ShubhamMishrabro who told you I'm a Kurd or even Iranian!
The mountains remember, they always do
The Kurds autonomy in the north of Syria is called Rojava and it's a fascinating social experiment. Based on socialist agendas and philosophies, they formed a governance system which implemented a very direct democracy with power to local communities and authorities, mandatory representation for women in governing and tolerance towards non-Kurds in the region
As a Kurdish person whose native language is Kurdish, when I was in the second grade in elementary school in Turkey, I did not fully understand the math question my teacher asked me in Turkish because I did not know Turkish. I tried to say something using Kurdish words, and the teacher hit my fingertips with a long pine stick. At that moment, I felt the pain throughout my entire body, and then I fainted from the pain. I opened my eyes at home. Similarly, for example, because I could not memorize the "Oath of Turkish Youth" that was recited to us Kurds every morning, which includes the phrase "I dedicate my existence to the Turkish existence," I faced the same violence. In short, from elementary school to university, I was subjected to similar racism many times by my teachers and Turkish friends, and despite being 40 years old, I still cannot get rid of these traumas, and they have shaped my outlook on life. When I acted like a Kurd around my Turkish friends, being myself, I was ostracized. When I tried to behave like a Turk, I was ridiculed because I couldn't succeed in being like a Turk. Thus, my personality became fragmented. This racism continues to escalate terribly today, and there is an atrocious medieval-level racism in Turkey that you cannot find anywhere else in the world. The strange thing is that Turks consider this normal and do not see it as racism because they do not experience it themselves and have all national rights.
Did we Kurds have to endure these experiences in our homeland where we have lived for thousands of years and spoken Kurdish for thousands of years? Were Turks and the Turkish language important, while Kurds and the Kurdish language were insignificant?"I hope this comment is not deleted and that many people see it. Maybe it will help me overcome my trauma a little bit.
You silly boy if you go to America do you think they will give you lessons ın caveman language. If you are ın Turkey you will get Turkısh lessons

Crazy how selective outrage works…. It’s trendy to be pro Palestine but ignore the Kurds. Makes ya wonder why people get crazy mad when it’s the Jewish state but not multiple Arab states
Everyone in Turkey is a citizen, they have the freedom to travel, they can live wherever they want in the country, everyone receives free healthcare from the same hospital. Every people study at the same school. The Constitution of Turkey does not discriminate between citizens. Palestinians, on the other hand, do not have an identity card, do not receive any services, and do not have freedom of travel. You are being hypocritical.
Türkiye did not build a wall anywhere and leave people behind or isolate them.
It is so sad how the Kurds have fought for over a hundred years for their independence, have been mass mūrdered, had their language completely suppressed, and to this day they remain a stateless oppressed ethnic group.

No friends but the mountains" (Kurdish: Ji çiyan pê ve tu heval nînin; Sorani Kurdish: ھیچ دۆستێک جگە لە چیاکان) is a Kurdish proverb which is expressed to signify their feeling of betrayal, abandonment and loneliness due to their history as a semi-stateless ethnic minority in the Middle East without faithful allies.
Free the Kurds!
If you had seen how the police in Turkey looked at and treated us Kurds, you would have thought that a state was necessary for the Kurds and that the whole world should work for it.

I'm a Persian from Iran and this is my message to all the Kurds:
I don't know what you've heard or read, but historically, linguistically and genetically you are and always have been Iranic people. You Kurds and the rest of the Iranians have been fighting wars alongside each other and marrying each other for thousands of years. Remember "Mahsa Amini"? Many Iranians most of whom Persians died because they came to the streets to defend her honor. A lot of us are dealing with the same problems you're dealing with.
We want you all to live with us, but there are certain people in this world who've been intentionally dividing us.
Bottom line is that we love you, but I'm sure particularly those of you who live in Iran know about the Bisotun in Kermanshah, if not then look it up. It doesn't matter to us if it's the iraqis, americans, scythians, Kurds, turks or whoever, we're not gonna let anyone to take even 1cm of our Beautiful Land. Either come live with us, or go find somewhere else like turkey, syria or iraq to build your country.

It is not the first time that the West has tried to divide our country, or even the entire region, and use some small elements as a knife. They always have and will always do this. As a country, and even as the entire Middle East, our states and nations need to be smart. For example, Kurds need to know this. When the West divides the Turks, the situation of the Kurds in the West will be worse than in Palestine. They need to be able to perceive this. Free cheese is in a mousetrap.
