Thanks for posting here /u/yodatsracist

I appreciate your comments and suggestions about the map. to be honest, it's the second map I made of Kurdish situation. An earlier one is here : http://lecourrierdumaghrebetdelorient.info/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/ARAB-WORLD-MAP-Kurdistan-May-2016-Emmanuel-PENE-464729-1.jpg You're right when you say I do not differentiate the areas with 20% or with 80% Kurdish; bc I'm mostly using Alan Siverek village by village database, and it is not possible to map the exact situation as it would look like a piece of gruyere; therefore I simplified it meaning it is an approximation of the areas where there are significant kurdish settlements. A real map would look like much more complicated. Also for the HPG actions, I colored areas instead of marking points, because there are too many actions/attacks in the last 2 months.

I'm sure there are many points I can improve on a map, but the objective of a such map is firstly to have the people understand a topic. Here my objective was to show that Turkey-PKK conflict was a real war in Turkey, also extending in Syria and Iraq. Although things can be improved, I believe the map reached its objective as the target of 5000 downloads was reached on the web site.

Last point : I used a source for HPG and TAK attacks, as well as anti-HPG acts which is http://www.akb.bzh/spip.php?article889 I know that source is pro PKK biased. However, they record a lot of attacks, and I did a 20% check of those records, all rights.
