They want their own identity, freedom to express their culture, freedom to speak their language, and their own land. There is an area called "Kurdistan" which should be its own country, but it is not. It has been carved up into pieces, part of it controlled by Turkey, part controlled by Iraq, parts controlled by other countries, etc. In none of these countries are Kurds recognized as an autonomous group. They are looked down upon and are restricted from using their own language. The Kurds are sick of it.
