In Turkey: The Kurds were the largest group of Turkish citizens who were not ethnic Turks. As a direct result of fearing that the Kurds would attempt to form their own country, the Turks repressed their cultural expression in an attempt to de-Kurd-ify them and Turk-ify them. The fear of Kurdish revolt is not terribly surprising given the Kurdish revolts in Iraq in 1925 and in Iran in 1928. The Turkish government under Erdogan has been the first to recognize that while Turkish Kurds are Turkish citizens, that they can have a Kurdish culture and still be loyal Turkish citizens
In Iraq: In the late 1920s, the Kurds had already attempted to secure an independent state and gained the ire of the Nationalist Iraqis. The Kurds were stuck between the two sides of a doublethink ideology. The contradiction was this: Iraq should be all territories within the former British Mandate of Iraq, but the only Iraqis are those of an Arab racial character. Since the Kurds were not Arabs, they were not considered "real Iraqis", but were forced to be a part of the Arab State. Much of the conflict was between Kurds trying to secede and Iraqis forcing them to stay in a union where they were second-class.
