There are two distinct questions here:
Are "Kurdish Rights within the Turkish Republic" inclusive of "Kurdish Nationalism"?
NO. "Kurdish Rights within the Turkish Republic" is separate for "Kurdish Nationalism". These both operate from the premise that the Turko-Kurdish conflict, which has resulted in over 35,000 Kurdish deaths, over 2 million internally displaced Kurds within Turkey, and numerous anti-Kurdish laws in Turkey, is oppressive towards the Kurds.
However, these two views are the different answers to the question, "How do we change this?" Those who advocate for Kurdish Nationalism want the Kurdish-majority regions in Turkey (called North Kurdistan or Southeast Turkey) to secede as the independent country of Kurdistan and leave Turkey behind. Most Kurdish Nationalist groups are violent paramilitaries and terrorist groups like the Kurdish Worker's Party (PKK).
Those who advocate for "Kurdish Rights within the Turkish Republic" want greater equality and cultural recognition within the structure of Turkey. These are people who see their homeland as Turkey and simply want to retain their uniqueness. Naturally, this is a peaceful Civil Rights Movement, but it has often been conflated with the violent Kurdish Independence Groups.
There are some who would argue that the "Kurdish Rights within the Turkish Republic" is the Martin Luther King, Jr. to the Kurdish Nationalists' Malcolm X.
Does the Republican People's Party (CHP) advocate for Kurdish Rights within the Turkish Republic or Kurdish Nationalism?
First to deal with Kurdish Nationalism, the CHP actively refuses to permit Kurdistan to secede from Turkey and holds that the integrity of the Turkish State is paramount. Kurdish Independence has always been a non-starter with the CHP.
However, the CHP is rather divided on Kurdish Rights. There are members of the CHP like Dr. Aykan Erdemir who support Kurdish Rights and there are other members who are more cynical or conservative on such matters. The CHP has moved increasingly leftward under the stewardship of Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu and it would not surprise me if the CHP were willing to grant some concessions to the Kurds, especially if it had to form a coalition with the HDP.

What is a conservative Republican?
A Republican is a member of one of the two major political parties in the United States. Being a Republican usually means that you are conservative and anti-big government, at least at the grass-roots level. Unfortunately, those views do not appear to be reflected at the top of the party. Outside of the United States, a republican is someone who seeks or hopes for the end of monarchy. Within the United States, a Republican is someone who thinks that although his Party base includes both the most rabidly ignorant, violently xenophobic illiberals and the obscenely wealthy corporation owners who betray American working people to the Chinese, it still somehow can lay claim to a higher moral ground and truer patriotism than any other Party.

Are there more registered democrats or republicans?
This is a very good question. What makes it a very good question is the fact that it is very difficult to answer.Thirty States in the USA require some kind of party affiliation (or non-affiliation) as a part of their voter registration system. So if you are looking for "registered Democrats or Republicans" you are limited to those 30 states and can't look in 20 states that do not require registrationIf you are looking for the number of people who "consider" themselves as Democrat or Republican you can look to statistically significant surveys, such as the Rasmussen survey. Rasmussen reported 35.4% reported themselves as Republican and 32.7% reporting themselves as Democrats. 32.4% said they were "Independent." This polling asks 15,000 Americans to report their affiliation. This may seem like a few, but it is a very good number over all for determining the breakdown nationally.You might ask 35.4% of what? What do I multiply 35.4% by to determine the number of persons who consider themselves Republicans. Too bad, we don't have that number, and whatever it is it changes every day.There are several other major polls (Pew and Gallop, to name a few), which show slightly different numbers indicating a Democratic advantage, but, over time, the longer-term trend for a decade has been for more people to identify as Independent (now almost 40%) than either Democrat or Republican (both which vay from about 25 to 35%, depending on the year and poll). However, if the question includes "leaners" (self-identified Independents who usually vote for one party), the percentages change significantly. Democrats consistently have about 50%, while Republicans muster a variable 35-45%, looking at data from the past decade.But in the end you must ask yourself exactly what is it that you want to know? Because when you include the peculiars of the many state parties and the peculiars of the country's election systems these numbers are frequently meaningless. In particular, the outcomes are driven by actual voters; the percentage of voters who actually vote varies significantly in any given election, with the percentage of registered voters who don't cast a vote varying from about 15% to as much as 30% or more.
