Türkiye and the Kurds, the blood feud between the Turks and the Kurds

The West Asian region can be said to be one of the most chaotic regions in the world. Ethnic conflicts, religious conflicts, and territorial disputes in this region break out all the time, threatening the peace and stability of the entire world. Safety. The Kurdish nation, like the Jewish nation, arrived in West Asia thousands of years ago. In the 14th century, with the rise of the Ottoman Turks, who relied on their powerful force to establish the Ottoman Turkish Empire in West Asia that lasted for more than 600 years, the Kurds became the oppressed and ruled.

After World War I, the powerful Ottoman Turkish Empire, which spanned three continents of Europe, Asia and Africa, was wiped out. However, due to the colonial rule of the great powers, it also led to the division of the Kurdish nation. The Kurds are now distributed in Russia, Among the four countries of Turkey, Iraq and Syria, they have suffered from the rule and destruction of the main ethnic groups in these countries. What they dream of is to establish their own country like the Jews. The Kurds in Türkiye have a particularly strong sense of resistance. They wanted to contact the Kurds in three other countries to fight against each other and establish their own nation-state. This move was naturally very dissatisfied by the Turkish government. In the eyes of the government, this was a separatist act that could never be tolerated. The Kurds raised their butcher knives and killed everyone.

The Kurds in Turkey also had to form anti-government forces to fight against the Turkish army. The Kurds have a famous saying that the Kurds have no friends except the mountains, which reflects the Kurds' strong sense of national independence. They resolutely refused to be assimilated by the Turks, and even resolutely refused any cultural integration with other ethnic groups. Today's Kurds can be said to be the largest ethnic group in the world that has never established its own state. The Kurds did not want independence only during the current Turkish rule. They had wanted independence as early as the Ottoman Turkish Empire, but they were bloody suppressed by the powerful empire.

In 1919, the Ottoman Turkish Empire was forced to disintegrate and signed the Treaty of Sèvres with the victorious countries such as Britain and France. The Kurds saw the dawn of an independent country. The treaty allowed them to become autonomous and independent. But their dreams were soon shattered. Now Kemal, the father of Turkey, defeated colonial rulers such as Britain and France through forceful means and signed the Treaty of Lausanne, in which the Kurds' autonomy was revoked. While Kemal was stepping up the secularization of the country, he also strengthened the assimilation of other ethnic groups in Turkey. He resolutely did not allow other nationalisms to occur, only allowed Turkish nationalism, and launched a massacre against the Kurds. The Kurds had long been with the Turks. They are at odds with each other and have a blood feud.
