I'm shocked, but encouraged to hear, there are essentially no generational effects you note of the oppression Kurdish people experienced.
This sentiment may not be repeatable concerning effects of Turkish government on Kurdish peoples outside the border of Turkey, particularly in Bashur Kurdistan and Rojava (especially Afrin Canton where hundreds of Kurdish civilians were killed in connection with events proximal to what Turkish government refers to as 'Operation Olive Branch'). I can't imagine there are warm fuzzies inside knowing your tax money goes to murdering fellow Kurds near your borders.
- mda 5y agoI am just curious, do you currently live in Turkey? Or, do you currently live in any of the places you mentioned?
- notch656a 5y agoI fought with the YPG for a number of months, during which time I lived in Rojava.
- csunbird 5y agoYPG is a organization with plenty of Kurdisch nationalists in it. Just like any extremist, whatever an extremist claims needs to be filtered and fact checked, and then taken with a pinch of salt.
- notch656a 5y agoThe question was whether I had lived in any of those places. The answer is to a limited extent I have. Damned if I say yes, damned if I say no. You reveal it's just a bad faith trap -- I'll just be dismissed whether the answer is I have lived there at all or I haven't. >YPG is a organization with plenty of Kurdisch [sic] nationalists in it. And Turkey is a country with plenty of Turkish nationalists in it. By that logic you argue any Turkish citizen is an extremist. Feel free to 'fact check' and come up with whatever extremist rhetoric you'd like to use to dismiss away the fatal effect on civilians of recent Turkish-backed incursions into Afrin Canton.
