population wise, Kurds still mostly reside in Kurdistan, a region (not a separate country, which is what they do want) that comprises areas along the borders of mostly nothern Iraq and other countries. They have a good reason to want their own country, as Sadaam Hussein massacred a large number of them during his reign. They desire a sovereign country to call their own, though they lack the support of an organization like the Zionist movement that allowed Israel to gain support for its independence in 1948.

Does The Republican People's Party of Turkey advocate for Kurdish rights within the Turkish Republic which includes Kurdish nationalism or not?

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.
