Biggest bullshit ever .. since Kurds are more than 10% of the population they can get in parliament... the fact is that the majority of Kurds in Turkey does not feel the same way. They can live, work, go to schoo and become everything they want,l where ever they want. We have had Kurdish generals and Presidents.

Thats exactly why the majority of the kurds 90%+ votes for Turkish parties.

@JanissaryMTF haha you are one funny guy, I really want to meet your history teacher.... I so want to talk to him and give him a lesson in history. Just a reminder, the EU has warned Turkey to stop falsifying history, once before, it appears the EU has to do this once again. up until the creation of Turkey, their was no Latin written Turkish, where as the Kurdish language has been existing much longer than Arabic which by far beats your sorry as Turd language.

@JanissaryMTF I don't know under which rock you are living but the Kurdish culture, langauge, and religion is one of THE oldest in the world. Your stupid ignorence is not going to change the facts. Try closing your eyes even harder maybe one day in your dream it will come true, but in reality the Kurds are much older than the Turds, this including their culture, religion, and identity. Just a reminder, the Kurds have saved your sorry as twice, Saladin, and WWI

@BCTUBEX These lands are conquered by turks and we possess it for at least 1000 years.You kurds are illusionary scumbags,dirt of humanity,gypsy fucks who have neither language,nor culture,nor identity,nor history.NOTHING.Kurd is the definition for failure and shame.The ones who should fuck off are gypsy kurds.Go back to India where you came from dirty scumbags.Filthy bastards.We have beaten all enemies including gypsy kurds and owned these lands.No space for motherfucking gypsies.

@ballbreaker1900 the number of kurds in turkey is max. 8 million .Of these eight million 40% are of turkmen origin.Moreover kurds are not a nation.They dont have own original language,neither culture nor anything else.Just as a little example:The so called kurdish language has 8000 words.Which are consisting of 3000 turkish words,2000 arab words,2000 persian words,700 armenian words.The rest 300 words are probably kurdish.This isthe so called kurdish language.Devoid of all reason this isnt lang.

Your dirty thiefs! Stop the turkish terror, give the land back to the kurds.....and go back to mongolia!
