Turkiye should give Kurds autonomy and the freedom to express their language & culture. Kemalist Turkey did severe damage to the religious character of the country. Kurd separatism initially was in response to the growing Turkish nationalism.
You ask for autonomy if there is a huge difference between the majority and the minority, like in the Balkans, but in Turkey thats not the case.
You cant see who is a Turk or a Kurd and nobody ask for it. Your etnicity or religion is not written on your Turkish ID card and there is no state institution asking for it or keeping it registred. You are exactly the same for the state, even the Syrian refugees who got a ID card have the same rights.
So nobody can prove in Turkey who is a Kurd or Turk. There is no scientific definition for it. I said there are 30 million Kurds in Turkey, but maybe there are 70 million or 5 million.
It isn’t a issue, nobody cares, only people like you from the outside. And you can speak Kurdish freely, you can even rename your village or town with Kurdish names. Kurdish songs on the radio and tv the whole day.
