why? Because the people and governments of the nations we are living in don't respect us as a humans and murder us. They kill Kurdish people and they don't let them speak Kurdish and they prosecute them unjustly.
So the human rights are getting better but even now, just recently Turkey has come across the Iraqi border and bombed small villages in Kurdistan Region. They say there were terrorist but you can see in the videos that they were small villages and children were blown apart.
35 million people homeless is not right. In the USA we are lucky to have control over our lives. No one is murdered for being human.
Back in the day, not too long ago people were killed for simply being Kurdish. Turkey murders civilian Kurds everyday with out discretion to this day. Look it up. Iran murders Kurds to this day without discretion. Look it up!
What if the USA were torn into 4 regions and each of them horribly prosecuted adn english was illigal adn Christmas was illegal and new year was illegal and you can get killed for no reason at all, you whole city could be bombed at any moment and you can't do anything about it. No one cares, no other country says this is wrong. Instead other countries support the crimes.
People think that wanting independence is a matter of pride. It's a matter of life. No Kurd in this whole world has never had a family member killed. All I want for my country is peace. I just want to live there in the mountains and not have to worry about being bombed. You can look this up. Many videos show Kurdish women and children and civilians being blasted apart and murdered. This is no secret.
I ask why haven't Kurds been given independence?
Why do we have to seek refuge in the USA, UK, Australia, Norway etc.. Why can't we live on a land where we can just live?

Who do the Kurds want to get their independence from?
The Kurds primarily seek independence from the countries they are currently residing in, such as Turkey, Iraq, Iran, and Syria. They aspire to establish their own autonomous region or an independent Kurdistan.
Have Kurds fought for independence from Turkey?
yes
When did Kurds rule in Iraq?
The Kurds have never had their own government in Iraq separate from the Iraqi government since the independence of the Hashemite Kingdom of Iraq in 1923 (and subsequent Iraqi States). However, Kurds had autonomy under the Ottoman Empire in what would become northern Iraq (or Iraqi Kurdistan). The Kurds have never had complete independence from the Iranians, Turks, Iraqis, or Syrians.
Why do the Kurds not have an official state?
The Kurds do not have their own country because Arabs, Turks, and Persians have consistently invaded and reconquered Kurdistan every time they have tried to assert independence.
Which nations do the Kurds consider allies in their struggles for independence?
The Kurds only really consider the United States to be an ally in their attempt at statehood in a relatively weak fashion. This is because the US has been the only country that has intervened in Kurdish affairs and did not repeatedly try to discriminate against them or commit genocide against them (a relatively low-bar). Additionally, the Kurds were the real winners of the Iraq War, which the US started, because it resulted in Kurdish autonomy from Iraq. However, Kurds are wary of the strong Turkish-US alliance, which impedes the independence or autonomy of Turkish Kurdistan.

What do the kurds in turkey want?
They want their own country.

The Kurds do not have their own country because Arabs, Turks, and Persians have consistently invaded and reconquered Kurdistan every time they have tried to assert independence.
What groups want autonomy from turkey?
The Kurds
Will Kurdistan get independence?
Very probably not. Abandoning large parts of their countries to a newly established State totally runs against the thinking of the rulers of the countries where Kurds now live. An acknowledged form of autonomy within those countries is the best the Kurds can hope for. And Turkey would probably not even want to consider that.
What has led to conflict between kurds and the governments of Iran Iraq Turkey?
The Kurds want a stake in self-governance or autonomy, but the governments of Turkey, Iraq, and Iran prefer a unitary state. As a result, the two create a vicious cycle of Kurds seeking independence, those movements being violently crushed by the authorities, which inspires more Kurds to seek independence, etc.Specifically in Turkey, the creation of the Turkish State was founded on the conception that all of the Muslim inhabitants of Turkey were ethnic Turks and anyone who asserted otherwise would have their languages, festivals, and identities taken from them. The Kurds were the largest Muslim ethnic minority in Turkey. There were Turkish laws banning education, public communications, and giving children names in the Kurdish language, some of which are still enforced. Rather than giving the Kurds autonomy to self-govern and speak their own languages, the Turks continue to repress Kurdish customs and the Kurdish self-identity. Turkish Kurds have tried to change the laws arrayed against them by electing politicians with a more pro-Kurdish outlook, but many of them have been assassinated by Turks who prefer that the discriminatory laws remain in place. As a result, a number of Kurds have resorted to more violent methods of opposing the Turkish government and seek full-blown independence given the Turkish reticence towards extending proper rights to the Kurds.

What area of land do the kurds believe should be kurdistan?
Kurdistan is a term applied to regions of southeast Turkey, northeast Syria, northern Iraq, and northwest Iran in reference to the Kurdish ethnic majority who live on that land. The Kurds, by and large, want independence from their host nations and to create an independent republic on these majority Kurdish lands.
Do Kurds only marry Kurds?
Yes. The Kurds are an overwhelmingly insular community.
Are the kurds in northern Iraq predominantly sunni or shia?
Yes, but there are minorities of Shiite Muslim Kurds, Yazidi Kurds, and Baha'i Kurds.
