Throughout the 1950s and 1960s, the Turkish government instituted a number of laws to effectively ban the Kurdish language such as Article 222/1 of the Turkish penal code. Kurdish culture was similarly repressed and all Kurdish attempts to resolve these issues peacefully and politically with the Turkish government resulted in assassinations and arrests. As result, by the 1980s and 1990s, the Kurds formed a number of terrorist organizations, such as the PKK (Kurdish Worker's Party) in 1984, to fight against the Turkish government and gain the rights politically denied to them.
To this day, the Turkish government still indicts public officials who use the Kurdish language and prevents the establishment of any radio or television station where the majority-language is Kurdish.

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.
