On the other hand, the Turks also repressed Kurdish language, dress, folklore, and names by law for decades so I’m not sure whether the referendums were genuine.
Imagine if your country signed a law that defined terrorism as "any kind of action with the aim of changing characteristics of the Republic". That essentially criminalizes political activism and many basic forms of expression.

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

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?

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?

>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.

Reads like the remnants of WW1. Turks got the lands the Kurds were promised, making the Kurds minorities in the new countries that popped up. Now everyone in that region hates the Kurds because they want to achieve what was promised but taken from them.
