*because to the turks, the rojava are the same as the PKK* That's.. actually very true. Most of the turkish population don't know alot about history (nor does most of the world). I, for example, always thought that kurds hated us, and that they would do anything for an independent state. But, as history shows us, it is the actions that the government takes to a certain ethnicity that angers the ethnicity. In my opinion, a ruler with an iron fist like Mustafa kemal (founder of turkey) is what we as a nation needed. As you might now, turkey was basically a shithole in the early years, but quick modernization efforts and industrial efforts brought it to how it was today. Mustafa kemal is a human, he does mistakes, so do we. He certaintly was more agressive on other ethnicities living in the new republic of Turkey, but you have to realise that Turkey was a very new, destabilized nation. Rebellions or revolts must be avoided in order to keep turkey as 1 nation. Ofcourse opressing the Kurds that hard was unjustifiable. However, the leaders after him kept pressing more on the kurds, which caused the creation of the terrorist organization, the PKK. the PKK terrorized the turkish people in order to get an independent state, our government had shut this down. Now you see a semi autonomous state right under turkey, which could influence other kurds to get independence aswell. So this semi autonomous state is helping Kurdish organizations with some goods, but they aren't terrorizing the turks. My people, and others around the world barely know history, so we shift blame to the kurds, about them terrorizing our population.

In no way supporting turkeys actions and attitude towards the kurds but you left out two very important details. 1. The new turkey boarders including kurds inside was not a partition grab, those were originally ottoman borders. 2. The kurds rebelled against turkey some 5 times, last one in 1938 agaisnt the new turksih republic. More importantly they opposed ataturks new liberal and democratic policies and his abolishon of the calpihate. In essence they fought to keep turkey as it was. Granted ataturk had promised not to abolish the capihate to them. Either way, does thay not put in context why there ws marshal law and a hostility towards curdish identity? Even if we argue that their rebelled for the right of self determination its hard to sympathize with people whose political allignement resembles modern day afganistan, and within turkish borders.

As a turk, I appreciate how you showed the past of turkey, however you did miss out a few details.

The ends werent universally hated, but the means certainly were. Also communism is BIG no no in Turkey (see 1980 turkish coup) so thats 2 things turkey doesn't like mixed together. Erdogan, being an authoritarian leader who did everything to stay in power (like shutting off powers in cities to stiffle political leaders speeches during the time right before the election), feared a free Kurdistan and attacked to make a safe zone, Many Turks, tired of thousands of refugees and PKK bombings and killings, just wanted to be over which is why many will support this. Overall I do appreciate that you went through with this video, its unbiased compared to most takes on the conflict and didn't just scream "they did to armenia so they will do it to em kurds" (yes turks are aware of the genocide, just that many nationalists will REE about it not happening tho) liked.

Bruh moment implies a stupid move, like keeping our soldiers there for decades despite never improving the situation.

I served in the Marines and every Marine I've talked too who served there All think the problem is that the Kurds are a non reliable and way too unorganized to realistically back
