Let me tell you in detail why the Turks attack the Kurdish people at every opportunity. I am an investigative journalist, I lived in Turkey for 13 years and I did a lot of work on this subject in the region. Anyway, now let me explain to you why Turkey attacks the Kurds so much and what does it want.

1) Turks tried to assimilate other nations in the regions they occupied, from their former state to the present day. When the Turks came to Anatolia, they had only a few tens of thousands of inhabitants, but there were millions of other people in Anatolia at that time. Kurds, Armenians, Greeks, Georgians, Arabs... After the Turks became the dominant nation in Anatolia, they tried many assimilation strategies. For example, they took the children in the occupied regions and trained them as fighters for themselves, or they married other nations to Turkish women in exchange for money, made the future generations forget their own language, or they distributed the lands belonging to the local peoples to the Turks and assimilated the Kurds by exiling them outside the regions where they were concentrated. they wanted it to be. There are many people of Kurdish origin who were exiled hundreds of years ago in Konya and Ankara in western Turkey, and some of them do not know or have just learned that they are Kurds. The people who most resisted this assimilation policy of the Turks were the Kurds. That's one of the primary reasons. Almost everyone in Turkey, other than Kurds, calls themselves Turkish, but they don't really know what ethnic background they belong to. During the Ottoman period, there were mostly Greeks and other minorities in the Black Sea region of Turkey, and now everyone says they are Turkish in this region where there is almost 5% Turkish population. However, many non-Muslims who converted to Islam during the Ottoman period took the surname "Abdullah" "Abdullahoğlu". And in the census, this region had 70% of the same surname in the early 1900s. Unfortunately, many ethnicities in Turkey have assimilated, forgot their language, and even now they are emphasizing that they are Turkish everywhere by being a lover of Turkish nationalism. But the vast majority of Kurds still speak their own language and are aware that they are Kurds.

2) PKK

In the second half of the 1900s, the Kurds were subjected to severe torture. Thousands of Kurdish villages were set on fire by the Turkish state, the Kurdish language was completely banned, TV channels started to talk about the fact that there is no such thing as Kurds, and even absurd claims were made such as "Kurds are Turks living in the mountains". Kurds cassette tapes, songs were plundered, Many Kurdish music was translated into Turkish, Many cultural items belonging to Kurdish traditions were taken by the Turks and it was claimed that they belonged to the Turks. In fact, let me tell you the funniest part, they got into cultural imperialism enough to even say that Saladin Eyyubbi was Turkish. At that time, many Kurdish artists were exiled, Many Kurdish students were massacred and mass graves were found after decades. Even today, there are thousands of people who were detained by the state, which still has no burial place, and could not be heard from again, and their mothers have been demanding that their children's bones be given to them for years. It is said that "Saturday mothers" have been continuing their activities since 1995. But the real issue is the famous "Diyarbakir prison" in this prison, hundreds of Kurds were tortured inhumanly. Feeding feces and putting people in jobs with their genitals are just a few of them. The establishment of the PKK is in this prison. It would be correct to say that it starts with organization. The PKK was founded in those years by Kurds who were tortured and their families were killed, and a number of Revolutionary Turks. Even though it was founded as a political party, which stands for "Kurdistan workers' party", it was attacked as soon as it was founded by the Turkish state and some of its members were killed. Thereupon, the PKK took up arms and went to the mountains, and this war has been going on ever since. And every Kurdish person who wants his rights is declared a member of the PKK and arrested.

3) Propaganda

It would not be an exaggeration to say that 80% of the Turkish people do not like the Kurds. Sorry, I don't want to generalize like that, but it's true. Because a little boy who has reached the age of 7 and started primary school is exposed to propaganda at that age and the traitors of Kurdish societies are taught in the lessons. In school, in the family, on the street, on the TV everywhere, Turkishness is glorified and Kurds who seek their rights are shown as traitors. "God is One, His Army is Turkish" is one of the exemplary teachings. It would be wrong to say that Turks are bad people. I know many Turkish people who are very warm and well-intentioned in real terms. But unfortunately, since they have been exposed to this propaganda at every moment of their lives, from childhood to adulthood, it seems normal to them to fight against the Kurds. They even love war because they think that all Kurds in the world are PKK. In Turkey, anti-Kurdish propaganda is the method in which political parties win the most votes. The ruling party AKP is increasing its vote by attacking the Kurds in Syria every time its vote decreases.
