>After World War I and the defeat of the Ottoman Empire, the victorious Western allies made provision for a Kurdish state in the 1920 Treaty of Sèvres. However, that promise was broken three years later, when the Treaty of Lausanne set the boundaries of modern Turkey and made no such provision, leaving Kurds with minority status in all of the new countries.

What are you trying to start an argument with? I’m stating the Western allies made provision for a Kurdish state in the 1920 Treaty of Sèvres. That promise was broken three years later, with the Treaty of Lausanne.
Your point is that they’ve always been minorities? That the Turks, descended from the Ottomans, lay lawful claim to large swaths of what is now other countries?

His point is the Kurds got fucked over solely on the premise the treaty was put into place by TPTB and then rescinded with no recourse.
This is to say NOTHING of any other mitigating factors you mentioned such as ethnicity, history, and which side feels they are right and who is wrong. It's a contained statement. Treaty made. Treaty not upheld.
Not sure what's so hard to understand about that. Further more, why r you so hostile on a reddit forum?
Oh yeah, it's a Reddit forum.
Dude, stop. I get it, you’re juicing yourself for something but can you not have compassion for a people who have had a long history of discrimination perpetrated against them? Can you blame a peoples who just want a place they are safe?

You’re making those points, you’re the magician creating an issue out of nothing right now.
