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?
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.
The Kurds have faced challenges in establishing an independent state due to historical factors, geopolitical interests, and opposition from neighboring countries. The borders drawn by colonial powers in the early 20th century divided Kurdish populations across several countries, making it difficult to unify them under one state. Additionally, regional powers and international concerns about stability and territorial integrity have influenced the lack of support for an independent Kurdish state.
Yes, Kurds in Turkey have long sought greater autonomy and recognition of their cultural rights, including independence. This has led to periods of conflict and tensions between Kurdish groups and the Turkish government, particularly in the southeast region of Turkey.
Kurds are an ethnic group mainly from the region known as Kurdistan, which spans parts of Turkey, Iraq, Iran, and Syria. They have their own distinct culture, language, and history. Kurds have faced struggles for recognition and independence in the countries where they reside.
Kurds have not ruled Iraq, but they have had periods of semi-autonomy in the Kurdish region of northern Iraq, particularly after the establishment of the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) in 1992 following the First Gulf War. The KRG has its own parliament, government, and security forces, operating within the framework of the Iraqi constitution.

The Kurds
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.
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.
The Kurds have historically looked to the United States, Israel, and some European countries as potential allies in their struggles for independence due to shared geopolitical interests. Additionally, Kurdish forces have cooperated with Western powers in the fight against ISIS in Iraq and Syria.
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.
Yes. The Kurds are an overwhelmingly insular community.
Yes, but there are minorities of Shiite Muslim Kurds, Yazidi Kurds, and Baha'i Kurds.
