The Kurdish people are arguably the largest stateless ethnic group in the world. Millions of people who share a culture, ethnic background, and language, but don’t have power over their own future. And importantly, they’ve been used as a tool by global powers trying to influence the middle east for decades.

Wow!
The Kurdish people have the right of self-determination like any other nation in the world!
NICE VIDEO , BUT A FALSE FACT ABOUT TÜRKİYE IN THIS VIDEO :
06:16 Acquisition of Citizenship in Türkiye: Citizenship is acquired and lost under the conditions determined by law, and this does not differ according to ethnic origin
06:26 Turkification campaign did not exist, because it did not have to exit , let me explain: "Turkish" Identity : The 1961 Constitution states that "everyone who is bound to the Turkish State through citizenship is a Turk." This states that everyone living in Turkey and bound to it through citizenship is legally a Turkish citizen. So this means your RACE CAN BE KURD but still your NATIONALITY CAN BE TURKISH. so this was UNIFYING and the imperialist powers hate this situation because it does not help their DIVIDE AND CONQUER plan… And Turks have never tried to oppress some ones lifestyle or culture as long as it is legal.
This is a peoples who have been royally screwed by nearly everyone they have ever trusted. And just about everyone else. I don't agree with terrorist activities, it is never the answer. But it is easy to see why they are so angry.
There has never been and never will be united Kürdistan. The three Kurdish dialects Kurmanji, Sorani and Zaza can not communicate with each other as it it si different. Turkey has never stop Kurds taking office. It is a lie. First Turkish prime minister İnönü was Kurdish. President Özal was Kurdish. Yes Turkey has problem but not with Turkish citizens with Kurdish ethnicity. Turkey has problem with terorist killing soldiers, Police officers, teachers.. any government officials and civilians. Get your facts right
