Somewhere between 0 and None, which is a good thing for literally everyone. Unless we’re now cheering for ethnostates and a full blown Turkish invasion. Even the Syrian Kurds don’t want independence, rather just autonomy as part of a multiethnic Northern region.
- inemesitaffia 2y agoAlmost every country in the region is an ethostate. The only reason Kurds would say they don't want their country is Turkey.
- crvst 2y agoVirtually every country in this region was drawn up by the British and French with little regard for ethnic or religious boundaries. What are you talking about?
- inemesitaffia 2y agoEvery single one of the countries is Persian, Arab, or Turkish with a big heaping of Islam
- grumple 2y agoWhy should every other group get autonomy but the Kurds? Turkey’s habit of ethnic cleansing isn’t a reason to deny the Kurds such a right.
- aguaviva 2y agoIt's not about what they "should" have. But rather the fact that it seems difficult to imagine such a state being set up without further conflict / ethnic cleansing.
- someotherperson 2y agoLiterally no other group has autonomy or aspirations for it.
- aguaviva 2y agoUnless we’re now cheering for ethnostates This is a misuse of the term. Even the Syrian Kurds don’t want independence, rather just autonomy as part of a multiethnic Northern region. Doesn't have to be full-scale independence. I think "stable, legal regional autonomy" was probably included in what the commenter meant by "their own land". As opposed to the halfway / fully isolated / unstable situation they've had up until now.
