How do you interpret the Kurdish protests in Europe?

[Anonymous]

I live in Diyarbakır, a city in Türkiye with a large Kurdish population, but I am neither Turkish nor Kurdish; I am Zaza, a mixed ethnic group. There are only about 10 million people of my ancestry in the world. The Kurds here are trying to establish their own country, which they call Kurdistan. I am against this, and I urge you, those of you living in Europe, not to tolerate it either. This is becoming a global problem and frankly, it looks shameful.

That has been going on for decades, sometimes it was to demand a country Kurdistan, sometimes to support the PKK, often just for solidarity of Kurdish language and culture. Many of the demonstrations would have stayed peaceful, but they are clashing with Turkish activist groups, for example the Bozkurtlar.

it's mostly idiots that are wasting their energy. if they want positive change, they should fight for the change in the country they want the change in. not protest in random places in the world. that does nothing.

Seems like a who scores more points on the oppressed totem pole.

If you're not European get out of Europe you don't belong there.

Why are you against the oppressed Kurds' forming their own country?

[Asker]

Are you defending people who are linked to terrorist organizations? That's ridiculous.

[beefcakebradybatson]

They're trying to gain their freedom from oppression, especially Turkish oppression.
