An independent Kurdistan will bring the balance and peace in the Middle East. Kurds are the biggest nation in the world without their own land (about 60 millions ), Actually, they do have a lovely land called Kurdistan but it has been divided by this evil regimes like Turkey, Iran, Irak and Syria. And most importantly the Kurds are the most secular nation in the region.
Let me ask you an honest question, so you answer honestly: As a Turk, I want a Kurdish state, including lands from Turkey. But Kurds live amongst us in Turkish cities, all across the country. What will happen to them? They will still be living with Turks and continue being citizens while they claim part of the country for themselves? Can you imagine what such a division would bring?
Apparently the US told Turkiye the kurds are only there to get rid of Isis and will return when they are defeated. Yet now they refuse to leave. in the last 40 years 40,000 Turkish have died.
@@ericm.5430 Before the war Aleppo City and idlib City were majority Turkmen. The rest were spread out on the western and northern parts of the country. Qamishli ( Kamışlı ) was majority Turkmen too. Mossad is more accurate when it comes to population. Mossad also said that there are 9 million kurds in Turkey and 7 million armenians. Around 6.7 million of these armenians are posing as kurds.
They're not really, Erdoghan just doesn't want any Kurds to self-govern because it proves that the Kurds in Turkey could do it as as well if they're given the chance.
The main problem is that the Kurds are situated in 4 different countries whom none wants to give up territory (large chunk of territory). If one group gets independence, that may or may not inspire the others to try as well. In terms of civilized well, they could be tribal or business men, pretty much like the rest of the region. I would admit that many Arabs joke about them being clumsy or dumb but most I met are, well, just people.
The ongoing conflict between Turkish forces and Kurdish groups in Syria can be characterized as a systematic campaign that raises serious concerns of ethnic cleansing and racial discrimination. This situation necessitates urgent attention from the international community to address the humanitarian crisis and uphold principles of self-determination. Given the historical marginalization of the Kurdish population, estimated at around 75 million globally, the establishment of an independent Kurdish state could serve as a viable solution to ensure their cultural, political, and territorial rights are respected.
@liviaG87 I sympathise with the Kurds but I hate how the media completely ignores or forgets about the issues of other suffering middle eastern minorities such as the Assyrians, Armenians and other Christian folllowing ethnic groups, the Druze and the Yezidis.
@@AI-uk1ct As far as I've understood, the Assyrians in Syria have allied with the Kurds and it seems to have been a good arrangement for them since Kurds have traditionally been more open and less oppressive towards other religious/ethnic minorities.

tsk tsk tsk... “Journalism is printing what someone else does not want printed; everything else is public relations.” (George Orwell) (1) This modern era began with some hope of change; as the AKP rose to power, reforms pushed for European Union (EU) integration, expansion of civil rights, the abolition of the death penalty, and a reduced role for the military. But the EU agenda was dropped in the mid-2000s after some European opposition, and the country took a turn towards authoritarianism...The government launched investigations into opposition party members, viewed as attempts to neutralize opposition. Efforts were made for constitutional reform up until the implementation of the 2017 referendum, when the AKP saw their work come to fruition by riding heightened security concerns after a coup attempt in 2016. Since then, critics argue, “the rule of law has been systematically ignored.” (2) "He did not stop smiling for the longest time as he looked out at the crowd in front of him, who couldn't stop shouting their joy.... The Turkish president, who celebrated the 100th anniversary of the Republic on October 29, is reviving sultans and strongmen, while relying on a dramatization of the national narrative. He aligns characters and events with his ideological vision in a neo-Ottoman-inspired bid for renaissance....The year 2023 has long been on the president's horizon. He also occasionally mentions 2053, the 600th anniversary of the fall of Constantinople, and 2071, which will mark the millennium of the arrival of the Seljuks in Anatolia. But this centenary date had become his mantra, a sacred formula scarcely dented by a dizzying economic crisis, a devastating earthquake, increasingly sharp criticism of his authoritarian drift and a re-election that ultimately came down to a run-off for the first time."

@jawan8908 Non-Arab Muslims (Memluks) are trully defender of Syria being attacked by Crusaders. Non of them are from Turkmenistan. If Kurds and Turkmens does not exist. Syria could not be exist.
The history of the region makes it clear that Kurds have lived in their ancestral homeland, Kurdistan, for millennia, long before Turks arrived. However, since the fall of the Ottoman Empire, successive Turkish governments have implemented policies that the Kurds describe as oppressive and discriminatory, severely impacting Kurdish rights and cultural identity. Instead of fostering coexistence, Turkey has continually pursued strategies that undermine Kurdish autonomy and suppress their identity. A pressing question today is why Turkey continues to interfere in Syrian affairs, particularly targeting Kurdish regions. The daily bombardments of Kurdish areas raise serious concerns about Turkey's intentions and its broader regional agenda. These actions appear to be part of a longstanding policy aimed at curbing Kurdish aspirations for self-determination, even beyond Turkey’s borders. Furthermore, Turkey's treatment of the Kurdish population and its actions in neighboring countries raise questions about its role in international alliances such as NATO. Many argue that Turkey’s policies, which some see as rooted in racism and authoritarianism, are inconsistent with the democratic and human rights principles that NATO is supposed to uphold. Should a state with such a controversial record be allowed to remain a member of this alliance without significant reforms? These are critical issues that need to be addressed by the international community. How can justice, stability, and peace be achieved in a region where the rights of millions continue to be undermined? It is also important to address inaccuracies about Kurdish population figures. For instance, in what is now Turkey, there are estimated to be at least 40 million citizens of Kurdish origin, far exceeding the commonly cited number of 20-25 million.
@@WhatIsThisForAgain Yes, but because the demographic composition of the country's population is considered a consequential socio-political issue by the Turkish establishment, the Turkish government refuses to acknowledge this fact publicly. However, there are now some Turkish intellectual voices openly stating that it is actually the Turks, not the Kurds, who are the minority.
What is not understood is that the Turkish State does not have a problem with the Kurds but with the Kurdish terrorists (PKK, YPG, PYD and other derivations). The western press's attempt to turn the issue into hostility towards the Kurds is a very insidious effort.
"Kurds is the largest ethnic minority in the country", dear lady repeatedly emphasizes this point in the beginning. I don't know if she sincerely believes this nonsense but let me tell you something; According to U.N. figures, the percentage of pre-war population of Syrian Kurds to total population of Syria was between 3 to 5%. Today, with the help of imperialist powers, they are militarily controlling 27,7% of the country's lands. This area includes critical water and energy infrastructure, agricultural lands and oil fields. These people are not the representatives of Kurdish citizens of Syria. They are mainly PKK terrorists imported from Iraq with the basic aim of safeguarding U.S and Israel interests in the area. The length of the Turkey-Syria border is 911 km. Since 2011, the disturbance in Syria has severe negative effects on Turkey. For God's sake, can you show me one independent nation with dignity that can ignore this situation?
US backed the kurds Because of a kurds(PYD) have oil land and can be support against Russia and Asad. But, kurds start to sell oils to İran and the Asad-russia thread was removed. So, there is no jobs for Kurds anymore. Fired by US. Also, in that region, the only kurds is not living. Mostly arabs, turkmens and different etnical groups are also living there.

Whether YPG and PKK members have talked to each other is not the same thing as the YPG actively supporting PKK operations in Turkey. Every time Kurds get some sort of autonomy or a step toward independence, Turkey accuses them of being PKK.
He has described it quite objectively and articulately...

The Kurds rule the highlands from Sulimaniyah to Northern Syria and are governed democraticaly by both men and women equally and anyone traveling to Erbil , their main commercial centre, will see a modern and very friendly society not at all like the Jihadist nightmare of the dusty lowlands. They say that there only friends are the mountains but they have a friend here.

Its called apartheid.
An independent Kurdistan will bring the balance and peace in the Middle East. Kurds are the biggest nation in the world without their own land (about 60 millions ), Actually, they do have a lovely land called Kurdistan but it has been divided by this evil regimes like Turkey, Iran, Irak and Syria. And most importantly the Kurds are the most secular nation in the region.
Exactly. I wish everyone can understand that truth.
Must be one helluva w**d you must be sm*king 🤔
Let me ask you an honest question, so you answer honestly: As a Turk, I want a Kurdish state, including lands from Turkey. But Kurds live amongst us in Turkish cities, all across the country.
What will happen to them? They will still be living with Turks and continue being citizens while they claim part of the country for themselves?
Can you imagine what such a division would bring?
Apparently the US told Turkiye the kurds are only there to get rid of Isis and will return when they are defeated. Yet now they refuse to leave. in the last 40 years 40,000 Turkish have died.
Turkey killed 100’s of thousands and millions Kurds in last 40 years…
Largest ethnic minority in Syria are Turkmen not kurds.Depending on the source there are between 4-8 million Syrian Turkmen.
Haha that's laughable

@@ericm.5430 Before the war Aleppo City and idlib City were majority Turkmen. The rest were spread out on the western and northern parts of the country. Qamishli ( Kamışlı ) was majority Turkmen too. Mossad is more accurate when it comes to population. Mossad also said that there are 9 million kurds in Turkey and 7 million armenians. Around 6.7 million of these armenians are posing as kurds.

Are the Kurds more civilised in that area ???
Why should they be a threat if that is the case.
Ugh no...theyre not civilised, they just hv oil places
Kurder the medes the hurians .... läs mer historia... selaw from Kurdistan
They're not really, Erdoghan just doesn't want any Kurds to self-govern because it proves that the Kurds in Turkey could do it as as well if they're given the chance.
Considering their respect for women' rights, they certainly seem more civilised than even some Western nations.
The main problem is that the Kurds are situated in 4 different countries whom none wants to give up territory (large chunk of territory). If one group gets independence, that may or may not inspire the others to try as well. In terms of civilized well, they could be tribal or business men, pretty much like the rest of the region. I would admit that many Arabs joke about them being clumsy or dumb but most I met are, well, just people.

The ongoing conflict between Turkish forces and Kurdish groups in Syria can be characterized as a systematic campaign that raises serious concerns of ethnic cleansing and racial discrimination. This situation necessitates urgent attention from the international community to address the humanitarian crisis and uphold principles of self-determination. Given the historical marginalization of the Kurdish population, estimated at around 75 million globally, the establishment of an independent Kurdish state could serve as a viable solution to ensure their cultural, political, and territorial rights are respected.

I sympathise with the Kurds but I hate how the media completely ignores or forgets about the issues of other suffering middle eastern minorities such as the Assyrians, Armenians and other Christian folllowing ethnic groups, the Druze and the Yezidis.
@@AI-uk1ct As far as I've understood, the Assyrians in Syria have allied with the Kurds and it seems to have been a good arrangement for them since Kurds have traditionally been more open and less oppressive towards other religious/ethnic minorities.
No Kurdistan autonomous oblast will actualize. Oil in Kurdish area is the Syrian state's. U.S. oil/gas fields' security guards for foreign corporates will leave Syria.
The Turks and the Kurds are both friends of USA, but they're fighting each other, it's a complicate situation.
tsk tsk tsk... “Journalism is printing what someone else does not want printed; everything else is public relations.” (George Orwell)
(1) This modern era began with some hope of change; as the AKP rose to power, reforms pushed for European Union (EU) integration, expansion of civil rights, the abolition of the death penalty, and a reduced role for the military. But the EU agenda was dropped in the mid-2000s after some European opposition, and the country took a turn towards authoritarianism...The government launched investigations into opposition party members, viewed as attempts to neutralize opposition. Efforts were made for constitutional reform up until the implementation of the 2017 referendum, when the AKP saw their work come to fruition by riding heightened security concerns after a coup attempt in 2016. Since then, critics argue, “the rule of law has been systematically ignored.”

The Turkish president, who celebrated the 100th anniversary of the Republic on October 29, is reviving sultans and strongmen, while relying on a dramatization of the national narrative. He aligns characters and events with his ideological vision in a neo-Ottoman-inspired bid for renaissance....The year 2023 has long been on the president's horizon. He also occasionally mentions 2053, the 600th anniversary of the fall of Constantinople, and 2071, which will mark the millennium of the arrival of the Seljuks in Anatolia. But this centenary date had become his mantra, a sacred formula scarcely dented by a dizzying economic crisis, a devastating earthquake, increasingly sharp criticism of his authoritarian drift and a re-election that ultimately came down to a run-off for the first time." (N. Bourcier. Erdogan, the enduring reinterpreter of Turkish history. Le Monde. Oct 29, 2023.
Not even the Kurds have been fighting turkey since 1984
Turkey should cooperate
Turkmens are the biggest ethnic group after Arabs, later Kurds actually.
No Turkmens are not from Syria the are only 400 Tausend the come from Turkmenistan.
@jawan8908 kurds are also not native in Syria
@jawan8908 Non-Arab Muslims (Memluks) are trully defender of Syria being attacked by Crusaders. Non of them are from Turkmenistan. If Kurds and Turkmens does not exist. Syria could not be exist.
The history of the region makes it clear that Kurds have lived in their ancestral homeland, Kurdistan, for millennia, long before Turks arrived. However, since the fall of the Ottoman Empire, successive Turkish governments have implemented policies that the Kurds describe as oppressive and discriminatory, severely impacting Kurdish rights and cultural identity. Instead of fostering coexistence, Turkey has continually pursued strategies that undermine Kurdish autonomy and suppress their identity.
A pressing question today is why Turkey continues to interfere in Syrian affairs, particularly targeting Kurdish regions. The daily bombardments of Kurdish areas raise serious concerns about Turkey's intentions and its broader regional agenda. These actions appear to be part of a longstanding policy aimed at curbing Kurdish aspirations for self-determination, even beyond Turkey’s borders.
Furthermore, Turkey's treatment of the Kurdish population and its actions in neighboring countries raise questions about its role in international alliances such as NATO. Many argue that Turkey’s policies, which some see as rooted in racism and authoritarianism, are inconsistent with the democratic and human rights principles that NATO is supposed to uphold. Should a state with such a controversial record be allowed to remain a member of this alliance without significant reforms?
These are critical issues that need to be addressed by the international community. How can justice, stability, and peace be achieved in a region where the rights of millions continue to be undermined?
It is also important to address inaccuracies about Kurdish population figures. For instance, in what is now Turkey, there are estimated to be at least 40 million citizens of Kurdish origin, far exceeding the commonly cited number of 20-25 million.
40 million!!! The whole country is barely 80 million. They make up half of the country now?
@@WhatIsThisForAgain Yes, but because the demographic composition of the country's population is considered a consequential socio-political issue by the Turkish establishment, the Turkish government refuses to acknowledge this fact publicly. However, there are now some Turkish intellectual voices openly stating that it is actually the Turks, not the Kurds, who are the minority.
What is not understood is that the Turkish State does not have a problem with the Kurds but with the Kurdish terrorists (PKK, YPG, PYD and other derivations). The western press's attempt to turn the issue into hostility towards the Kurds is a very insidious effort.
Iran loses its relevance and Turkey fills the void…😢😢
not really.
"Kurds is the largest ethnic minority in the country", dear lady repeatedly emphasizes this point in the beginning. I don't know if she sincerely believes this nonsense but let me tell you something; According to U.N. figures, the percentage of pre-war population of Syrian Kurds to total population of Syria was between 3 to 5%. Today, with the help of imperialist powers, they are militarily controlling 27,7% of the country's lands. This area includes critical water and energy infrastructure, agricultural lands and oil fields. These people are not the representatives of Kurdish citizens of Syria. They are mainly PKK terrorists imported from Iraq with the basic aim of safeguarding U.S and Israel interests in the area. The length of the Turkey-Syria border is 911 km. Since 2011, the disturbance in Syria has severe negative effects on Turkey. For God's sake, can you show me one independent nation with dignity that can ignore this situation?
Before 1400 years, there was not even one of you.. now show me how you annexed 57 territory

So, there is no jobs for Kurds anymore. Fired by US. Also, in that region, the only kurds is not living. Mostly arabs, turkmens and different etnical groups are also living there.
