Yet, Kurds have equal rights when they are not trying to subvert the the Turkish Republic. Turks of Kurdish origin are well represented in the Parliament, even as PM. State could be more flexible about social rights, for sure, but imagine if the Mexicans in the US had similar demands! - ThreadSky

This is not even remotely true. The only time Kurds have equal rights in Turkey is when they call themselves a Turk, accept assimilation, & stop asking for basic human rights. Turkey has constantly abused Kurds with rape, torture, killings, & even going as far as burning Kurds alive in their homes.

Are you saying that there aren't many Kurdish members of the Parliament, and Türkiye did not have a Prime Minister of Kurdish ethnicity?

Thanks for playing whataboutism and ignoring all the parts where I literally state the Kurds are infact NOT equal citizens since they get torture, arrested, and kidnapped for just being born Kurds. They’re so free that Turkey banned over 120 Kurdish language books within 3 weeks.

All true, but most governments always overreact when their citizenry want to take land through armed resistance, terrorism, bombings, etc. Let's not whitewash what PKK did. Short of such actions, Kurds do indeed have equal rights - not even a question. With peace, cultural rights will also come.

What was Turkey’s excuse of “overreacting” before the PKK existed? Weird to call killing, murder, rape, kidnap, & torture “overreacting”. Turks were “overreacting” for 40 years before the PKK existed. This starts & ends with Turkey’s aggression. Get out of Kurdistan, & you won’t have a PKK problem.

You like revisionist history, don't you! Kürdistan? Never existed, will never exist. Even if it did, 90% of the Kurds living in Turkey would choose to stay in Turkey.
