What does Turkey have to fear about Kurdish independence anyway?

20% of Muslims in Turkeys are Alevis.

maybe they can leave next? If the ALvis and Kurds leave soon half your country is gone.

Kurds aren't demonized like Assad is so Trump can get away with arming them.

>>132902295
but why the long-lasting hate from T*rks to Kurds if they contribute so much as a percentage?

>>132903854
They are regional rivals

The Kurds have been trying to gain independence since the Ottoman Empire initially fell. They don't consider themselves Turks. They don't speak the same language, they aren't the same ethnicity.

No Kurd operates under the illusion that Turks care about what happens to them and vice versa

Turks don't even think Kurds ought to be allowed to speak their own language.

hello azad

Thanks for all that information. It makes me wonder though, why doesn't T*rkey give them a small percentage of their land to Kurds so they can "get rid of them" if it bothers them so much?
>>132904968
Maybe this roach can answer that

Turks are just Arabs that got raped by Mongols, they're an artificial ethnic group occupying Greek land, who the fuck cares if their shithole goes under?

Assad is friend of Iran and Russia.
If part of Syria becomes Kurdistan the US has reduced the power and the territory controlled by a friend of Iran and Russia who are U.S. antagonists.

>>132905471
so is USA trying to create Kurdistan so it will have control over Kurds? Why not help Syria instead?

>>132906112
it's a proxy against iran for israel

>>132906112
Because Assad wants to keep a friendly relationship with Iran, Lebanon and Russia.
This is why the West wanted him removed from power, this is why Syrian rebels got Billion$ from the West.

>>132906112
And anyway, it seems that the plan to create Kurdistan has been abandoned by the U.S.
Because Erdogan's Turkey could not accept the creation of Kurdistan. And supporting the Kurds would have made an enemy of Turkey. (And incidentally this was a good reason for the attempt to remove Erdogan with the coup last year).
But the coup has failed, and alliance with Turkey is more valuable for the U.S than Kurdistan., so the Kurdistan plan has been postponed or scrapped.

>>132908547
Then does the USA keep funding the Kurds (PKK) now?

>>132909572
The U.S is now helping the YPG, (who is affiliated with the PKK) to remove Isis, from Raqqa and the other territories occupied by Isis. What will happen once Isis is defeated is unknown. But the creation of Kurdistan has been postponed or scrapped.
