I don't argue agaist you but should every state in the world become a country? Kurds have been always Iranian it's only since the Ottoman Empire took some part of Kurdistan less then 200 years ago, that seperate Identity have been created. Imperialists always benefit from seperation and that has been their door to power since more then 300 years and people still don't learn. The Persian Empire was so powerful because Iranian Tribes put away their differences and created a large united nation and others were weak because they couldn't do that.

[@mtiari6438]

@@Dilt-sk9uu No my question is the following: let's imagin there is a country named Kurdistan, then this country has different states and cities and one state says I want to seperate myself. If every country says yes the only good thing about it is, that then there is no need for war anymore because when you want to destroy a country you just support seperatism in that country and it falls apart. Do you understand what I mean? For example if Kurds seperate themself from Iran why not other states in Iran? and if we divide Iran into one country for each state, why not do the same with other countries? Please read how 40-50 thousand british solgiers could colonize 300 million Indians

[@mtiari6438]

@@dadbidad1322 It's not even Kurds in Iran, Iran belongs to Kurds and Lors and Azari and all other Iranian Ethnic Groups. One wrong thing is, that we call people who don't speak a dialect in Iran persian and others by their state name but this is so false. The reason, that people like in Isfahan or Shiraz, Tehran e.c. don't speak a dialect is because these have been big cities and in big cities people did not identify themselves by their ethnic groups but more by the city and the farsi that most of Iran speaks is a language created as common language but it's not that it is more related to old persian then for example kurdish languages or lori. Actually kurdish languages or lori, e.c. are much closer to the old persian language than farsi, with old azari it's the same but it doesn't exist anymore due to the turcification of the region due to turkish speaking rulers.

“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?

Umm... Have you been to New Mexico? Or Oklahoma or Montana or any other state? God knows we learned the lesson too late, that providing autonomy & a chance/place to preserve themselves and their culture was a benefit for our federation as much as their nation. But we learned it, and the Navaho saved our bacon in the Pacific in WWII. Native Americans are some of the most patriotic American groups there are, despite all we've done to them. If Turkey learned the same, Kurds could be as much of an asset to them as Salah al-Din was. It is never too late to right a historic wrong. Not doing so leads to continuing insecurity and conflict. Welsh and Scottish units are some of the strongest in the British army, rather than risks as once upon a time they were. The fact that they maintain their own language and culture now is a big part of why-- even after the language has been almost extinguished. The chance to bring it back speaks volumes.

Currently, all across the geography known as europe, there are over 5000 stone inscriptions which can only be deciphered by ancient Turk language, and by no other language/s. These stone inscriptions are located all across west, north, central and east europe. The people we known in modernity as 'european' are actually people who came from around where India is, and acientists suggest that the migration of people into north america and from there to central and south america occured not only thru the Bearing Bridge (when the strait was a land mass), but also with sea vessels from the shores of what we now know as France into north americas since past 40,000 years. Basicaly, the aboriginal people of the reigions we currently know as europe and asia, that is eurasia were the ancestors of modern day Turks (''Turks'' not only as in the inhabitants of Turkish Republic, but all other Turk people across was geography). The people we know as ''european'' are late comes into the region, killing off and assimilating the local populations. For example the governments of Sweden even until the 1980's, (yes 1980's not 1880's) had a state policy to forcible have indegineous female population surgically mutilated so not to be able to get pregnant, preventing the indegineous population to protect it self. The Roman Empire are took most of it's sciences, arts and state governnance laws from the Etrcuscans, who even the modern day europeans admit are people akin with the central asian people, basically they are camoflaging the fact that they are one of the ancestors of modern day Turks. Likewise many other indegineous populations of what is now know as eurasia are actually ancestors of Turks and when comparing and studying the languages we find the connection. Certainly they did not speak ''modern Turkish'' as spoken in the Republic of Turkiye, but you can clearly see the language evolving into what it has become. Of course to know all this one needs to steer away from ''his-story'' and dewelve in 'history''. Best wishes.

Just because you live in a region does not mean it is your kingdom. You cannot establish your own rules, your own system, your own army. Today, there are many different ethnic groups living in England, Germany, France and America. How would you explain if these people taking up arms and engaging in terrorist activities?

@rakunx0 This is a point you do not want to understand. In modern societies, killing babies, killing women, killing the elderly, burning schools, burning hospitals, and exploding bombs in city centers are considered terrorist activities and are punished. If you want to establish a country and wage war like the people who lived a thousand years ago, you will not complain about the problems you encounter.

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.

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.

[@reb6599]

No country existed. Turkey didn’t exist either yet it exists today. Kurds had many independent Kurdish emirates. It is true a country called Kurdistan didn’t exist in one single state. That doesn’t mean Kurds shouldn’t have a country in the world we live in today which is ethnically dominated. Kurdish experiences in the countries they were divided into has only led to a degradation of their language, culture and rights.

[@Grillaa010]

No country in the middle east existed before WW1. Nation states are a new concept. thanks for stating the obvious broski, Kurds and thus the land where we live is named Kurdistan which means Land of the Kurds. Kurds have always had control over their own lands as Empires did not want to or could fully subjugate us, search the Karduxians and the March of the Ten Thousand. The Karduxians were the remnants of the Kurdish Median Empire which settled in modern northern Kurdistan.

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?

[@erfanmirzaei3100]

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.

[@kedarpatwardhan9816]

@@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.

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.

Their culture, language, and identity were taken away and suppressed by both the Ottoman Empire and later by Turkey.
