“We were told that we were going to be attacked, but it was too late, and the notice was too short. All of a sudden, we heard the sound of bombs dropping all over the town. People started coughing, tears streaming from their eyes, and all I could think about was running. I grabbed my brother’s hand and ran as fast as I could, struggling to survive as people were dropping dead. I was getting weaker and weaker, but for the sake of my younger brothers, I had to pull through and just keep running. We survived the attack and stayed in a cave for a week without food or water. I had to go back to the town to search for something to eat or drinking water, but when I returned, I found a ghost town, filled with thousands of dead bodies lying on the ground, among them my relatives and neighbors.” This is the story of my mother during the Halabja chemical attack as she tried to survive the chaos. She and many others posed no threat to anyone, and all that we Kurds have ever wanted is to own the lands where we have lived for thousands of years, before anyone else claimed it as their homeland. This is just one story, but there are thousands more as we have endured many other genocides. Where is the justice in this?
It's crazy that anticolonial movements in Palestine have massive support in these countries, yet they have their own version of the Palestinians they are oppressing themselves. Edit: Replies prove my point. Tons of hypocrites replying to this comment saying 'it's different' but then using the exact same arguments as the Israelis. "freedom! civil rights! (Just not in my backyard!)"
The Kurds never had a state in this region and no one here owes them one they themselves migrated to west asia later. Israel was founded after WW2 when Palestinians were already living there. The situation is not comparable in the least. If you care about this so much then why don't you talk about the Zazas,Yezidis and Assyrians who think Kurds stole their lands? Armenians also accuse them. See how messy this gets? It is not as simple as "Uhh just give them independence!". Turkey is the only country and moderator that keeps the peace in their part and prevents them going for eachother's throats and that's a fact.
@@soundwave2481I think you legitimately could not have made it more obvious that you are a Turk. Which is especially funny, because all Oghuz turks (except maybe the Turkmens) stole the land they consider their ancestral home. 1000 years ago, there were no turks in Turkey, no Azeris in Azerbaijan, etc. They stole all of that land. And considering how the government of Turkey treats Kurds and Greeks in their country, and how both the Turkish and Azerbaijani governments opress what little remains of their country's Armenian populations, seems like not much has changed.
I am a Kurd born and living in Turkey. I have Turkish friends and neighbors. Every race or society what ever you call it includes bad and good ones. I have met with some Turks who accept me more than some Kurds. My family and I have never experienced any discrimination from anyone other than some Kurds who blame us because not being a terrorist and a murderer.

Either by laws or politics, Kurdish movement has no legal description. People who live in a certain region cannot have self-determination right without Terra Nulius happening. According to international law, secessionist movements forbidden. So, you cannot claim there is a state terror. Because the central movement is illegal and who supports it basically secessionist. The man who created this video is entirely ignorant. Turkish government is sovereign in the region. Without consent of sovereign, any claim of anyone is unvalid. You can say Turks trying assimilate you. Kurds living under West's economy. Almost all economic production of whole country is created in the West. Without west, there is no difference between Lebanon and Southern Turkey. Without the Western Turkey, ya guys would end up as like syria or iraq since you guys dont have enough strength to protect yourselves from USA and Russia's games too. Iran can atleast prevent those, but we saw what would happen if a country couldnt prevent them and here iran and iraq.
This is historically so inaccurate, you mention the border between Turkey and Iran was drawn by European forces but that border hasn't been changed since 1639
So? When they split the ottoman empire, they cut the map according to their interests, not according to national or religious lines. Kurdistan should have been free.

Objection: * The Republic of Turkey has never had an issue with Kurdish citizenship or other minorities. When the Turkish Republic was established, the aim was to create a unified nation where everyone living on this land was considered Turkish, regardless of their ancestry, religion, or other differences. It was intended to be similar to the concept of American citizenship, where all citizens are regarded as equal members of the nation. * Why is Turkey always represented by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk? He passed away in 1938, and many significant events have occurred since then. It's smells like black propaganda against M.K Atatürk.
1 thats why the official language is turkish a ethnolinguistic term and thats why kurdish was banned to write and speak in america anyone could speak anything it doesnt even have a official language 2 Mustafa Kemal Ataturk made turkey so ofc hes gonna represent turkey its like nelson mandela representing south africa he also and you refrence all these events yet those were all anti kurd except for the unbanning of the language but its still being enforced slightly
@@superidol7353 in Turkey you can speak any language rn. It was banned before by a military regime which didn't last long. And besides just before that regime started to rule the country, there was a kurdish terr*r!st party(which is even US and EU recongizes as a terr*r!st organization named PKK) was actively doing what they knows to do, you understand, I hope. In our counsil there are lots of kurds which are mostly separatists(who are in DEM party.The rest are loyal to their counrty) in the counsil as well. Does any separatist supporter presenting anyone in your counsil?
In Turkey, a landowner or company can easily deny you a house or a job if they find out that you are Kurdish or speak Kurdish. I lived there as a child back in 2008.

Now you dont see that? Talking about PKK: You are saying they attack innocent villages, citizen. This is wrong. But the Kurds wants to have their own country. Similar to when Hamas that attacks Israel on October 7 and attacks thousands of people in Israel. But for you Hamas has an independence movement but Kurds do not have an independence movement. Please think and speak fairly. Also, please shed some light on how the hostages were paraded in the car when they took them back to Gaza.

You should think about why Turkey attacking so called Kurds but not to arabs etc ? The problem is not Kurds.. The problem is what kurds did under PKK names and how many civil turkish people dead because of that.

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.
We Turks wont be divided. Also even if they wanted to do it by force it wouldnt be easy. Turkiye isnt a weak country. Look, Russia couldnt conquer ukraine.
it is a subjective map, mostly based on linguistics. and historical actions to determine the borders. The same map used by terrorists to call a kurdish intifada which has no end or cause. there are also widespread turkmen in those regions. lors and arabs. The idea of kurdistan is a schizophrenic fever dream made by a dude who stole the idea from the people he has needless guerilla warfare with. its disgusting how many bright people died at the hands of a lost cause.
@@Berkin62 those maps are right except for khuzestan and parts of armenia mostly turkmens are even more a minority than kurds are lors are kurds if someone says something else it is to weaken the kurds not to empower the lors yes no one should agree with pkk it has done lots of things and is one of the many reasons why kurdistan is not a recognized nation
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.
MKA never undermined any minority living in Turkiye. They all had the same rights as Turks. What you are saying is just random words combined. Not a script. I’m from the Middle East and it’s insane hard to understand politics here if you are outside. You probably need to be a world known historian from outside to understand our politics here. You need the opinions of locals, local news, the history of it and many more. Yet you are here talking nonsense about this whole ordeal. But what I’m saying doesn’t mean I hate Kurds. Most of Turks actually love our Kurdish brothers and vise versa. Don’t spread misinformation.

The only misinformation that's being spread is your word salad about Turkey liking Kurds and Kurdistan. Newsflash, Turkey doesn't, and has been extremely discriminatory against Kurds and other minorities.
The area you describe and outline was originally part of Persia--modern day Iran--going back THOUSANDS OF YEARS! THEN, western imperialism messed up the map lines of the region. Then the Ottoman Empire impinged on the territory of the shrinking Persian empire. In that span of time, going back thousands of years, Kurds have been a subset, a nomadic peoples who were understood and accepted to be transient. And in the last 120 years, in the midst of western imperialism, and drawing lines on paper that take no account of the impact of those lines on land, in the effort to further diminish the long established nations of the region--#1, Persia/Iran; #2, The Ottoman Empire/Turkey--western imperialists are trying to further diminish the strength and capacity of ancient powers in a region that is literally a world away from us and totally out of our jurisdiction. If you believe so much in the rights of the Kurds to have a nation, then you will support with equal fervor the disintegration of the USA into 50 individual nation-states, or even worst, thousands of tiny city states.
Very good Video, but the Map is not very accurate. As an example, Almost the entire West of Lake Urmia in Iran is Kurdish, with some small pockets of Azeris, and in Syria it is missing the Afrin province, in which Kurds ruled autonomously since the 16. Century.
afrin province is now mostly arab but the kurds after they were kicked out moved to a area called tall rafat and ming . unfortunately Turkey ethnically cleansed afrian and kicked over 300.000 kurds out of afrain .
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.
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?
@@quzunarqozi5171 Not happening. Kurds cant make autonomous project in North Syria due to Turkish interfene. But if i know correctly Turks are currently attacking PKK camps in Iraq.
I've been interested in history for years, and I've watched many history-related videos, but I've never seen anything worse or funnier than this. This is not a joke; there were parts of the video that made me laugh a lot. They even misplaced the map of the Ottoman Empire, which has been known for centuries. The video contains neither sources nor accurate information. To gain real information about the Kurds, don't rely on the channel of an ignorant transatlantic American who sees everything through rose-colored glasses and wants all the world's conflicts to end in their favor. Instead, look at sources in Kurdish, Turkish, Persian, and Arabic.
I feel so bad for the Kurds. They are being used as foot soldiers whenever there are conflicts in hope of independence. They lose their loved ones only to be thrown to the wolves once their help is no longer needed. That is so messed up
Despite other three conutries, Kurds loving whithin iranian border has been significant and essential part of iran since the day that Iran has been known asal a country ( 2500 years ago). Many lands are taken ir lost by different leaders but the current borders has always been there. Being an ethnic group does not justify asking for independen state however having equal right and a respecful living condition is drfinitely a must for evey person. Unfortunately iranian regime opresses every body and kurds are also among them. We are all fighting for freedom but this does not necessitily mean spling our coutry to several ethnic groups.
PKK has killed 30,000 people in Turkey since 1984. Teachers, students, babies, workers, civil servant, civil servant. You may see it this way from the West, but the Turkish people experienced a lot of pain. Do your research immediately, Kurds can enter the parliament in Turkey, become prime ministers, generals and civil servants. They live as fully equal citizens in Turkey. What would happen if they did what PKK did in the USA or England?
Kurds are applauded for fighting to defend their people, clearly distinct as an ethnic group, but I bet Johnny wouldn't like native Europeans doing the same to defend their land from invaders, huh?
after seeing this video, the first thing in my mind that I was understand what is happening in middle east that people say its just a conflict. but the reality its very complex and its related to anything, such as between saddam husain and kurds, turks and pkk, Iran and kurds, syria and kurds, that the reality its have a same problem like in my country Indonesia. which is OPM in Papua island is wanting their freedom in their land, but the government and I especially not agree with that. BUT, in this kurds case somehow I support kurds to fight for freedom over their land and get their own country, which is this is same like the conflict in Papua that I don't support and agree and its opposite with the kurds case that I don't. (pardon me if my English is bad pal, cause I'm still learning)
Why Mustafa Kemal Atatürk's photo only? Most of the history you are explaining has happened after he has passed away. He passed away 1938. He built an indepandent Turkish Republic that would consist of different ethnicities. That was not a Turfication campaign. That was an effort to establish an independent republic which should be free of foreign countries ( UK, USA and France) involment by using the minorities which one of them are Kurds who would easily be a target for foreign manupilations as you can see when you watch the video. Lots of kurdish people has fight voluntarily at the Turkish Independencey War against the foreign colonialists and played an important role. However, Kurds also have subminorities between them who had different cultures and costums which has caused the unrest in the region with the influence of foreign politics and interests.
Across the world there are many many many countries that were never independent states, or had a history of owning their own country, but, they are today independent countries.. so why not Kurds?under the current situation Kurds don’t really have an option to decide their own future, as its always decided by either the Iraqi, Syrian, Iranian or Turkish government.
Kurds are the indigenous people of these lands. They can establish a state whenever they want. Turks are an invading tribe that came to Anatolia later.
@@YusufGever there is no such thing as Kurds, people are mixed, if you are a kurd do a DNA test and you will see, all tribes have invaded lands in the past, according to your analogy kurds where there ever since planet earth was created, which is quite stupid, the so called "kurds" also migrated from central-south Asia to todays Iraq, so check your facts first.
@@blackvirus9 What you say about Kurds is a complete lie. They were always in the Middle East. Kurds have many J2 blood groups. J2 blood group is found in Anatolian natives. This shows that the Kurds did not come from anywhere and were always in Anatolia.

Thanks for this video. I’m sure several hours could be spent on this, but for an introduction to the country and region, I appreciate the concise yet detailed approach. If anyone recommends a next level in depth resource, I’d be open to hearing.
Kurds are Iranic people btw. They speak an Iranian language and they have Iranian culture. Their biggest celebration is Nowruz which is an Iranian celebration. Even the flag of Kurdistan region of Iraq follows Pan-Iranism colors🔴⚪🟡🟢! The one and only motherland of Kurd people is Iran. Not an "imaginary" country called Kurdistan. And im so glad that the majority of Kurds of Iran understand that and they're not seperatists.

04:07 Hey Johnny, I don't know if you simply made a typo or used an incorrect source, but the Dersim operation started in 1937, and what is referred to as the massacre happened in 1938.
The question is when Iran had its first election in 1953 and a prime minister was chosen, He was basically assasinated by hard liners financed and provided for and trained by the British and American Intelligence agencies, then they instated Reza Pehlavi because he agreed to grant them both the control of Iran's Oil fields which the prime minister was in the process of nationalisation. Why did the Americans and British then did not "carve out" the Kurdish Area? I mean No issues blaming Khomeini, however, that too should be mentioned. Again in the case of Iraq, Saddam Hussein was basically helped by the Americans as a buffer and counter the Iranians, and secure Iraqi oil. Why does the US have to be involved in everything when they are 4-5k miles away?
so many lies I can't even keep track! Pahlavi government was already in place, Reza pahlavi was the constitutional Monarch and there WERE elections held since the "Mashrote" or constitution revolution had succeeded and the national assembly had existed. Mosssadegh was brought to power by support of the Shah at first to fight British petroleum hold on our oil but soon he began a coup against the government and he lost. separatists whether kurds or Azeris had been receiving support from the soviets since 1946 when they left Iran and those who were seeking to annex our soil in north west had actually taken land from the local kurdish and Azeri and lur iranians and unconstitutional! so they entered a war and lost. Also Iran is NOT a new country in fact the only nation that never had it's borders drawn by a british or french in 1800's.
@@erfanmirzaei3100 Thank you for the additional Information. I do not know if you are negating what I have said, and stating my statements as lies? Nevertheless, thank you for providing me with new information. The Information which I have provided above about Reza and Mossadegh is from my reading, From a book by Stephen Kinzer. After re-instating the monarch a Trade consortium of 1954 was put in place which stopped the nationalisation of oil fields and gave control of them to the British and Americans. Since then the Shah brought about great infrastructural and educational developments, although the prime resources i.e oil was being lost to private companies. To bypass that he brought about the 1973 sale and purchase agreement. The ridiculousness of this all is that Ayatullah was living in Turkey and then France before the coup. He was flown there in Air france and he was the time magzine person of the year 1979.
The video was well-prepared, but there are many historical facts and current dynamics that were not addressed. First of all, there has never been a country called "Kurdistan" in the region. It should be noted that the area is geographically referred to as Kurdistan. A hundred years ago, there was an empire that ruled the region for 600 years-the Ottoman Empire. The Ottomans never divided their subjects based on ethnic groups, and all Ottoman records show that the subjects were classified as Muslims and non-Muslims(pls check Millet system). The Kurds have lived in Mesopotamia for centuries in peace and unity with the other peoples of the region. After the French Revolution in Europe, nationalist movements spread worldwide, eventually leading to the fall of empires. For the past hundred years, European and American powers have continued to play a significant role in the region, especially regarding control over oil reserves and other resources. Their aim has been to prevent the emergence of an independent and stable Middle Eastern states through both internal and external policies. Unfortunately, the promise of a state for the Kurds is also part of the EU and U.S.’s manipulative schemes. Can anyone genuinely explain why the U.S. is constantly trying to exert influence beyond its own borders? The countries in the region have taken steps-sometimes correct, sometimes flawed-to maintain their internal political balances. Nevertheless, it should not be forgotten that the PKK movement over the last 50 years has been consistently supported by the EU and the U.S. So, who were the countries harmed by this support? Turkey has made significant strides regarding the Kurdish issue in the last 20 years, but that doesn’t mean everything has been resolved-there is still much progress to be made. However, at least Kurds in Turkey can now speak their language freely and access Kurdish media outlets. Kurdish politicians are also actively present in the parliament. Kurds make up the second-largest voting group in the country and directly influence Turkey's policies through their decisions.
So much misinformation there, you are telling the story without either deep research on each involved country and its views, or without even knowing what you re doing. You mapped Armenis as a part where kurds are, I am giving you my word as an Armenian there is no Kurd living in Armenia, and there has never ever been any bombing on Armenia (Specifically the part you showed in your video, it is near the capital city of Yerevan and if there was bombing from Turkey that would be huge incident). So, please recheck the information given, and look closely at every dot before publishing these maps
Most of the Kurds in Armenian are Yazidis and they usually don't consider themselves as Kurds and don't get along with other Kurds because of different religion. See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurds_in_Armenia and en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yazidis#Identity
ISIS killed whole villages of the men and boys. They kidnapped the Yazidis girls and women, then sold them as slave wives, raped them and forced them to have children. Some got beaten and some got killed. The Yazidis are an unique ethnic and religious minority, and have been mistreated throughout history by most of the other ethnic and religious groups in the region. The Yazidis men and women that escaped the ISIS attacks, have relentlessly organised groups to locate the missing girls and women. They have fearlessly fought to free their families from the torture and slavery of the horrible ISIS. Some of the victims were very brave and succeeded in escaping by themselves. Their stories are truly tragic and inspiring at the same time. A strong heroic people ❤💪🙏
Before watching, i was like let me see this American how much changing and hiding of information will do to farm views. But after watching i will have to congratulate you. You didn’t disappoint 😂. Classic American news reporting 🤣
One of the reasons why the imperalists (France and Britain) didnt make a Kurdistan like they made Syria, Iraq and Jordan and so on, is because they were afraid of the conservative and pracitising Kurdish Muslims who would held the uprise and keeping for an Ottoman Empire opposite of secular Kemal Ataturk and his likewise secular politicians who were against Ottoman, Kurds and Islamic influence. The Kurds were some of the most loyal Muslims who oppossed secularism and the imperalists didnt like this fact.. they afraid of a new Islamic empire in middle of Mesopotamia after the Ottoman fall
What a political nonsense video! Great illustration. Whoever funds these videos, the same people trying to create an unstable region there for a long time. Everybody in Turkey, including the Turkish people and Kurdish people we used to coexist together regarding our differences. In the last 20-25 years, they have made some progress on their goal. Like I said the goal is to create unstable region so some can profit from. All the historical events happened in the region, it’s been backed by US and/or British governments. If I was someone watching this video without actually knowing how it’s like, what actually happened for all these years, I would definitely feel bad about what happened to the Kurdish people but it’s not the Kurds or the Turks or the other nationalities together but the problem is PKK (now YPG) as stated in the video is a terrorist organization. They bombed the train stations, public areas, they burned down the forests in Türkiye. They kidnapped Kurds and separated them from their parents in their young age. Of course Türkiye doesn’t want another country next to their border or as for some people’s wet dreams also including part of Türkiye. There are of course a lot of problems that needs to be talked and solved by Turkish people. (That’s what we call everybody who lives in Türkiye no matter what nationality they are) but it got to the point the people who were supposed to defend the Kurds in Türkiye, they also became political figures and had sayings supporting PKK and getting funded by this terrorist organization and governments. We all know what happened all the historic figures that backed by US government. One day you are an ally, the other day you are either insurgent or a terrorist. We don’t know who gets what behind the closed doors, you think you are fighting for a cause but you are actually fighting so some can make bunch of money off of you, that’s all it is. There are also a lot of lies in this video hidden with the historical facts. The reason why US and other countries involved in Iraq war was an uncontrollable, mentally unstable Saddam and the chemical mass weapons which was found a lie after the war ended. Someone said Turks are not going to like this video.. Of course they won’t because we know there are people who are trying to create conflict between people who lived together for hundreds of years. Republic of Türkiye is not against the Kurds. As Turkish people and like any other nations, we are against the people with bad intentions. As a Turk, I was born and grew up in the Aegean region, the town that my grandparents live had more Kurds than Turks and I had bunch of Kurdish friends that I even shared my food with. Those are not the Kurds that have a problem with Türkiye. They love the country that they live in as everybody in Türkiye. Everybody has to have their opinion but don’t fall for these tricks. Again fuck the media that releases bunch of lies. They all controlled by people with power
The Russians main motivation was helping the Arab nationalists and other factions fighting Al Qaeda and ISIS and are in Syria on behalf of the government. They too do not care about the Kurds and have nothing to gain from attacking or using them.
Kurds are natives of the area they inhabit, unlike the African Americans and Hispanics who are descendants of colonialists and immigrants in the places they inhabit. Get your facts straight.
@@EliasRoyWhy would they like a terror propaganda ? Many civillians in those countries are killed and syrians are displaced and their lands occupied by US and kurdish terrorists.
whole bunch of false information. Kurds have same rights as Turks in Turkiye. We even had Kurdish Presidents like Turgut Özal etc. Kurdish language is not forbidden, there is even government operated Kurdish TV Channels...
I am a fan of your videos for years Johnny. But there are many mistakes and misleading information in this video. Not only in details, there are giant mistakes. Clear, very apparent mistakes. I still want to believe in your honesty but it gets hard with these type of misleading videos. We all know that we can use the same story and change what the audience gonna believe in by just shaping our words. This video doesn't do this only, but also sharing wrong information very clearly to the people who knows, but the average people won't know. It's just sad.
It seemed a lost opportunity to not carve out part of Iraq for Kurds. That land had oil and Iraqi's wouldn't agree. It's a sad story because the Kurds were clearly on the side of the US in the fight against ISIS, more so than Iraqi's who dropped weapons and ran away.

“We were told that we were going to be attacked, but it was too late, and the notice was too short. All of a sudden, we heard the sound of bombs dropping all over the town. People started coughing, tears streaming from their eyes, and all I could think about was running. I grabbed my brother’s hand and ran as fast as I could, struggling to survive as people were dropping dead. I was getting weaker and weaker, but for the sake of my younger brothers, I had to pull through and just keep running. We survived the attack and stayed in a cave for a week without food or water. I had to go back to the town to search for something to eat or drinking water, but when I returned, I found a ghost town, filled with thousands of dead bodies lying on the ground, among them my relatives and neighbors.”
This is the story of my mother during the Halabja chemical attack as she tried to survive the chaos. She and many others posed no threat to anyone, and all that we Kurds have ever wanted is to own the lands where we have lived for thousands of years, before anyone else claimed it as their homeland. This is just one story, but there are thousands more as we have endured many other genocides.
Where is the justice in this?

Edit: Replies prove my point. Tons of hypocrites replying to this comment saying 'it's different' but then using the exact same arguments as the Israelis. "freedom! civil rights! (Just not in my backyard!)"
The Kurds never had a state in this region and no one here owes them one they themselves migrated to west asia later. Israel was founded after WW2 when Palestinians were already living there. The situation is not comparable in the least. If you care about this so much then why don't you talk about the Zazas,Yezidis and Assyrians who think Kurds stole their lands? Armenians also accuse them. See how messy this gets? It is not as simple as "Uhh just give them independence!".

@@soundwave2481I think you legitimately could not have made it more obvious that you are a Turk. Which is especially funny, because all Oghuz turks (except maybe the Turkmens) stole the land they consider their ancestral home. 1000 years ago, there were no turks in Turkey, no Azeris in Azerbaijan, etc. They stole all of that land. And considering how the government of Turkey treats Kurds and Greeks in their country, and how both the Turkish and Azerbaijani governments opress what little remains of their country's Armenian populations, seems like not much has changed.

Either by laws or politics, Kurdish movement has no legal description. People who live in a certain region cannot have self-determination right without Terra Nulius happening. According to international law, secessionist movements forbidden. So, you cannot claim there is a state terror. Because the central movement is illegal and who supports it basically secessionist. The man who created this video is entirely ignorant. Turkish government is sovereign in the region. Without consent of sovereign, any claim of anyone is unvalid. You can say Turks trying assimilate you. Kurds living under West's economy. Almost all economic production of whole country is created in the West. Without west, there is no difference between Lebanon and Southern Turkey.
Without the Western Turkey, ya guys would end up as like syria or iraq since you guys dont have enough strength to protect yourselves from USA and Russia's games too.

Objection:
* The Republic of Turkey has never had an issue with Kurdish citizenship or other minorities. When the Turkish Republic was established, the aim was to create a unified nation where everyone living on this land was considered Turkish, regardless of their ancestry, religion, or other differences. It was intended to be similar to the concept of American citizenship, where all citizens are regarded as equal members of the nation.
* Why is Turkey always represented by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk? He passed away in 1938, and many significant events have occurred since then.

At least 30 to 40 percent of the map has not been drawn, so what about Lorestan?
it is a subjective map, mostly based on linguistics. and historical actions to determine the borders. The same map used by terrorists to call a kurdish intifada which has no end or cause. there are also widespread turkmen in those regions. lors and arabs. The idea of kurdistan is a schizophrenic fever dream made by a dude who stole the idea from the people he has needless guerilla warfare with. its disgusting how many bright people died at the hands of a lost cause.
Lors are kurds this map has not been drawn fully the map goes into the aleppo province slightly were afrin is this map doesnt show this
@@Berkin62 those maps are right except for khuzestan and parts of armenia mostly
turkmens are even more a minority than kurds are lors are kurds if someone says something else it is to weaken the kurds not to empower the lors yes no one should agree with pkk it has done lots of things and is one of the many reasons why kurdistan is not a recognized nation

MKA never undermined any minority living in Turkiye. They all had the same rights as Turks. What you are saying is just random words combined. Not a script. I’m from the Middle East and it’s insane hard to understand politics here if you are outside. You probably need to be a world known historian from outside to understand our politics here. You need the opinions of locals, local news, the history of it and many more. Yet you are here talking nonsense about this whole ordeal. But what I’m saying doesn’t mean I hate Kurds. Most of Turks actually love our Kurdish brothers and vise versa. Don’t spread misinformation.
i'm half kurd living in turkey i don't want such thing and i love my turkish brothers
MKA took away education from Muslim majority Turks. Scarfed women weren’t allowed to go to uni. He did great things, but he was not a saint. Don’t idolise him
Öyle mi peki neden tüm dünyanın doğu Türkistan'daki soykırımı görmesini istiyorsunuz bu bir çelişki değil mi ben bir kürt olarak yazdığın her şeyin sahte yalan ve yanlış olduğunu söylüyorum

@@CGokce6 MKA didn’t take away education, he BROUGHT education. Just compare the literacy rates of 1910 and 1950.
The area you describe and outline was originally part of Persia--modern day Iran--going back THOUSANDS OF YEARS! THEN, western imperialism messed up the map lines of the region. Then the Ottoman Empire impinged on the territory of the shrinking Persian empire. In that span of time, going back thousands of years, Kurds have been a subset, a nomadic peoples who were understood and accepted to be transient. And in the last 120 years, in the midst of western imperialism, and drawing lines on paper that take no account of the impact of those lines on land, in the effort to further diminish the long established nations of the region--#1, Persia/Iran; #2, The Ottoman Empire/Turkey--western imperialists are trying to further diminish the strength and capacity of ancient powers in a region that is literally a world away from us and totally out of our jurisdiction. If you believe so much in the rights of the Kurds to have a nation, then you will support with equal fervor the disintegration of the USA into 50 individual nation-states, or even worst, thousands of tiny city states.
thanks for the video.

Very good Video, but the Map is not very accurate. As an example, Almost the entire West of Lake Urmia in Iran is Kurdish, with some small pockets of Azeris, and in Syria it is missing the Afrin province, in which Kurds ruled autonomously since the 16. Century.
afrin province is now mostly arab but the kurds after they were kicked out moved to a area called tall rafat and ming .
unfortunately Turkey ethnically cleansed afrian and kicked over 300.000 kurds out of afrain .

I've been interested in history for years, and I've watched many history-related videos, but I've never seen anything worse or funnier than this. This is not a joke; there were parts of the video that made me laugh a lot. They even misplaced the map of the Ottoman Empire, which has been known for centuries. The video contains neither sources nor accurate information. To gain real information about the Kurds, don't rely on the channel of an ignorant transatlantic American who sees everything through rose-colored glasses and wants all the world's conflicts to end in their favor. Instead, look at sources in Kurdish, Turkish, Persian, and Arabic.
I think you should go back to Mangolia and make turkish country
I feel so bad for the Kurds. They are being used as foot soldiers whenever there are conflicts in hope of independence. They lose their loved ones only to be thrown to the wolves once their help is no longer needed. That is so messed up
Thank you so much for sharing this video and I hope that one day we will be able to make it our own country .
Love from Kurdistan❤☀💚
Great video, very informative about the kurdish struggle. Hope they get their independency soon❤
Despite other three conutries, Kurds loving whithin iranian border has been significant and essential part of iran since the day that Iran has been known asal a country ( 2500 years ago). Many lands are taken ir lost by different leaders but the current borders has always been there. Being an ethnic group does not justify asking for independen state however having equal right and a respecful living condition is drfinitely a must for evey person. Unfortunately iranian regime opresses every body and kurds are also among them. We are all fighting for freedom but this does not necessitily mean spling our coutry to several ethnic groups.
Beautiful piece of art @Johny, we (as a Kurd) have been waiting for this video for a long and liked it very much!🥰👍🌺
PKK has killed 30,000 people in Turkey since 1984. Teachers, students, babies, workers,
civil servant, civil servant. You may see it this way from the West, but the Turkish people experienced a lot of pain. Do your research immediately, Kurds can enter the parliament in Turkey, become prime ministers, generals and civil servants. They live as fully equal citizens in Turkey.

Kurds are applauded for fighting to defend their people, clearly distinct as an ethnic group, but I bet Johnny wouldn't like native Europeans doing the same to defend their land from invaders, huh?
after seeing this video, the first thing in my mind that I was understand what is happening in middle east that people say its just a conflict. but the reality its very complex and its related to anything, such as between saddam husain and kurds, turks and pkk, Iran and kurds, syria and kurds, that the reality its have a same problem like in my country Indonesia. which is OPM in Papua island is wanting their freedom in their land, but the government and I especially not agree with that. BUT, in this kurds case somehow I support kurds to fight for freedom over their land and get their own country, which is this is same like the conflict in Papua that I don't support and agree and its opposite with the kurds case that I don't. (pardon me if my English is bad pal, cause I'm still learning)
Why Mustafa Kemal Atatürk's photo only? Most of the history you are explaining has happened after he has passed away. He passed away 1938. He built an indepandent Turkish Republic that would consist of different ethnicities. That was not a Turfication campaign. That was an effort to establish an independent republic which should be free of foreign countries ( UK, USA and France) involment by using the minorities which one of them are Kurds who would easily be a target for foreign manupilations as you can see when you watch the video. Lots of kurdish people has fight voluntarily at the Turkish Independencey War against the foreign colonialists and played an important role. However, Kurds also have subminorities between them who had different cultures and costums which has caused the unrest in the region with the influence of foreign politics and interests.
They never had a nation in the past, so why invent one? obvious interests.
Across the world there are many many many countries that were never independent states, or had a history of owning their own country, but, they are today independent countries.. so why not Kurds?under the current situation Kurds don’t really have an option to decide their own future, as its always decided by either the Iraqi, Syrian, Iranian or Turkish government.
@@windowsxpisloading why not give lands from your country?
Kurds are the indigenous people of these lands. They can establish a state whenever they want. Turks are an invading tribe that came to Anatolia later.
@@YusufGever there is no such thing as Kurds, people are mixed, if you are a kurd do a DNA test and you will see, all tribes have invaded lands in the past, according to your analogy kurds where there ever since planet earth was created, which is quite stupid, the so called "kurds" also migrated from central-south Asia to todays Iraq, so check your facts first.
@@blackvirus9 What you say about Kurds is a complete lie. They were always in the Middle East. Kurds have many J2 blood groups. J2 blood group is found in Anatolian natives. This shows that the Kurds did not come from anywhere and were always in Anatolia.

Thanks for this video. I’m sure several hours could be spent on this, but for an introduction to the country and region, I appreciate the concise yet detailed approach. If anyone recommends a next level in depth resource, I’d be open to hearing.
Kurds are Iranic people btw. They speak an Iranian language and they have Iranian culture. Their biggest celebration is Nowruz which is an Iranian celebration. Even the flag of Kurdistan region of Iraq follows Pan-Iranism colors🔴⚪🟡🟢! The one and only motherland of Kurd people is Iran. Not an "imaginary" country called Kurdistan. And im so glad that the majority of Kurds of Iran understand that and they're not seperatists.
Yes! You are right, I’m a Kurd in Iraq and I want to live in Iran my ancestors homeland, only Iraqi Kurds are separists.

04:07 Hey Johnny,
I don't know if you simply made a typo or used an incorrect source, but the Dersim operation started in 1937, and what is referred to as the massacre happened in 1938.
The question is when Iran had its first election in 1953 and a prime minister was chosen, He was basically assasinated by hard liners financed and provided for and trained by the British and American Intelligence agencies, then they instated Reza Pehlavi because he agreed to grant them both the control of Iran's Oil fields which the prime minister was in the process of nationalisation. Why did the Americans and British then did not "carve out" the Kurdish Area? I mean No issues blaming Khomeini, however, that too should be mentioned. Again in the case of Iraq, Saddam Hussein was basically helped by the Americans as a buffer and counter the Iranians, and secure Iraqi oil. Why does the US have to be involved in everything when they are 4-5k miles away?
so many lies I can't even keep track! Pahlavi government was already in place, Reza pahlavi was the constitutional Monarch and there WERE elections held since the "Mashrote" or constitution revolution had succeeded and the national assembly had existed. Mosssadegh was brought to power by support of the Shah at first to fight British petroleum hold on our oil but soon he began a coup against the government and he lost. separatists whether kurds or Azeris had been receiving support from the soviets since 1946 when they left Iran and those who were seeking to annex our soil in north west had actually taken land from the local kurdish and Azeri and lur iranians and unconstitutional! so they entered a war and lost. Also Iran is NOT a new country in fact the only nation that never had it's borders drawn by a british or french in 1800's.
@@erfanmirzaei3100 Thank you for the additional Information. I do not know if you are negating what I have said, and stating my statements as lies? Nevertheless, thank you for providing me with new information. The Information which I have provided above about Reza and Mossadegh is from my reading, From a book by Stephen Kinzer. After re-instating the monarch a Trade consortium of 1954 was put in place which stopped the nationalisation of oil fields and gave control of them to the British and Americans. Since then the Shah brought about great infrastructural and educational developments, although the prime resources i.e oil was being lost to private companies. To bypass that he brought about the 1973 sale and purchase agreement. The ridiculousness of this all is that Ayatullah was living in Turkey and then France before the coup. He was flown there in Air france and he was the time magzine person of the year 1979.
The video was well-prepared, but there are many historical facts and current dynamics that were not addressed. First of all, there has never been a country called "Kurdistan" in the region. It should be noted that the area is geographically referred to as Kurdistan. A hundred years ago, there was an empire that ruled the region for 600 years-the Ottoman Empire. The Ottomans never divided their subjects based on ethnic groups, and all Ottoman records show that the subjects were classified as Muslims and non-Muslims(pls check Millet system). The Kurds have lived in Mesopotamia for centuries in peace and unity with the other peoples of the region.
After the French Revolution in Europe, nationalist movements spread worldwide, eventually leading to the fall of empires. For the past hundred years, European and American powers have continued to play a significant role in the region, especially regarding control over oil reserves and other resources. Their aim has been to prevent the emergence of an independent and stable Middle Eastern states through both internal and external policies. Unfortunately, the promise of a state for the Kurds is also part of the EU and U.S.’s manipulative schemes. Can anyone genuinely explain why the U.S. is constantly trying to exert influence beyond its own borders?
The countries in the region have taken steps-sometimes correct, sometimes flawed-to maintain their internal political balances. Nevertheless, it should not be forgotten that the PKK movement over the last 50 years has been consistently supported by the EU and the U.S. So, who were the countries harmed by this support? Turkey has made significant strides regarding the Kurdish issue in the last 20 years, but that doesn’t mean everything has been resolved-there is still much progress to be made. However, at least Kurds in Turkey can now speak their language freely and access Kurdish media outlets. Kurdish politicians are also actively present in the parliament. Kurds make up the second-largest voting group in the country and directly influence Turkey's policies through their decisions.
Ask the Japanese, they will tell you what the Kurds are
So much misinformation there, you are telling the story without either deep research on each involved country and its views, or without even knowing what you re doing. You mapped Armenis as a part where kurds are, I am giving you my word as an Armenian there is no Kurd living in Armenia, and there has never ever been any bombing on Armenia (Specifically the part you showed in your video, it is near the capital city of Yerevan and if there was bombing from Turkey that would be huge incident). So, please recheck the information given, and look closely at every dot before publishing these maps
Hey brother, Stalin deported all the Lachin Kurds to countries such as Tajikistan and Turkestan, we are not saying that Armenia is to blame.
We also know that the Yerevan government allocated Yerevan radio to us in order to protect our language and the aid they provided for the Kurds.
Interesting story, thank you, i never really had any idea about it, but i noticed that you did not talk about the kurds in armenia.
Most of the Kurds in Armenian are Yazidis and they usually don't consider themselves as Kurds and don't get along with other Kurds because of different religion. See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurds_in_Armenia and en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yazidis#Identity
ISIS killed whole villages of the men and boys. They kidnapped the Yazidis girls and women, then sold them as slave wives, raped them and forced them to have children. Some got beaten and some got killed. The Yazidis are an unique ethnic and religious minority, and have been mistreated throughout history by most of the other ethnic and religious groups in the region. The Yazidis men and women that escaped the ISIS attacks, have relentlessly organised groups to locate the missing girls and women. They have fearlessly fought to free their families from the torture and slavery of the horrible ISIS. Some of the victims were very brave and succeeded in escaping by themselves. Their stories are truly tragic and inspiring at the same time. A strong heroic people ❤💪🙏

Why where the American indians denied their own country?
One of the reasons why the imperalists (France and Britain) didnt make a Kurdistan like they made Syria, Iraq and Jordan and so on, is because they were afraid of the conservative and pracitising Kurdish Muslims who would held the uprise and keeping for an Ottoman Empire opposite of secular Kemal Ataturk and his likewise secular politicians who were against Ottoman, Kurds and Islamic influence. The Kurds were some of the most loyal Muslims who oppossed secularism and the imperalists didnt like this fact.. they afraid of a new Islamic empire in middle of Mesopotamia after the Ottoman fall

What a political nonsense video! Great illustration. Whoever funds these videos, the same people trying to create an unstable region there for a long time. Everybody in Turkey, including the Turkish people and Kurdish people we used to coexist together regarding our differences. In the last 20-25 years, they have made some progress on their goal. Like I said the goal is to create unstable region so some can profit from. All the historical events happened in the region, it’s been backed by US and/or British governments. If I was someone watching this video without actually knowing how it’s like, what actually happened for all these years, I would definitely feel bad about what happened to the Kurdish people but it’s not the Kurds or the Turks or the other nationalities together but the problem is PKK (now YPG) as stated in the video is a terrorist organization. They bombed the train stations, public areas, they burned down the forests in Türkiye. They kidnapped Kurds and separated them from their parents in their young age. Of course Türkiye doesn’t want another country next to their border or as for some people’s wet dreams also including part of Türkiye. There are of course a lot of problems that needs to be talked and solved by Turkish people. (That’s what we call everybody who lives in Türkiye no matter what nationality they are) but it got to the point the people who were supposed to defend the Kurds in Türkiye, they also became political figures and had sayings supporting PKK and getting funded by this terrorist organization and governments. We all know what happened all the historic figures that backed by US government. One day you are an ally, the other day you are either insurgent or a terrorist. We don’t know who gets what behind the closed doors, you think you are fighting for a cause but you are actually fighting so some can make bunch of money off of you, that’s all it is. There are also a lot of lies in this video hidden with the historical facts. The reason why US and other countries involved in Iraq war was an uncontrollable, mentally unstable Saddam and the chemical mass weapons which was found a lie after the war ended. Someone said Turks are not going to like this video.. Of course they won’t because we know there are people who are trying to create conflict between people who lived together for hundreds of years. Republic of Türkiye is not against the Kurds. As Turkish people and like any other nations, we are against the people with bad intentions. As a Turk, I was born and grew up in the Aegean region, the town that my grandparents live had more Kurds than Turks and I had bunch of Kurdish friends that I even shared my food with. Those are not the Kurds that have a problem with Türkiye. They love the country that they live in as everybody in Türkiye. Everybody has to have their opinion but don’t fall for these tricks. Again fuck the media that releases bunch of lies. They all controlled by people with power
Kurdistan is Kurdistan , not Terroriye

The Russians main motivation was helping the Arab nationalists and other factions fighting Al Qaeda and ISIS and are in Syria on behalf of the government. They too do not care about the Kurds and have nothing to gain from attacking or using them.
