From an outsider's perspective, there's very little not to like about the Kurdish people. They work hard, mind their own business when they can, and fight like hell when they have to. I don't think anyone really knows what their future holds, but I hope whatever happens, it leads to a more prosperous and peaceful future. They deserve as much, at the very least
As a Kurd I believe you should have given more detail on anfal and how inhumanly brutal it was, I don't think it's talked about enough. It's extremely difficult for me to hear or see any pictures of it but I think the world needs to know for the sake of humanity and all the victims.
@@The.Alchemist-d2vSo arabs have a right to kill 200,000 innocent people cuz their leader had a collaboration with the only democrat in the middle east?
I was in Syria 2017. The Kurds where and still are one of the most humble people I’ve ever met. They are kind, generous, and very resourceful. They also fight like dogs backed in a corner. They brought light to the ignorance that I had for the people who follow Islam. I left with a whole new understanding of the people and cultures of the Middle East. I hope one day they can have a land of their own.
The land we think we own isn’t ours to keep but it will surely keep our bones someday. Thank you for your kind words. All the peoples of Mediterranean have similar characteristics. We are warm and friendly even with strangers. We are familiar with different faces and their customs. We are familiar with many religions and languages. We have witnessed many empires rise and fall. Our soils are fertile with the blood of the mighty warriors from every corner of the world. We don’t need a piece of land. We need peace and prosperity for everyone which is so easy to fulfill only with the money and effort spend on wars. Don’t promise us a place in heaven please. Let’s build the heaven on earth together.
Instead of marching for support of terrorist state of Palestine, a nation born from nowhere relatively recently, people should stand up for real nation without country that has been living on their native land for centuries, the Kurds, oppressed by other countries, kingdoms, empires. People are too blind to see it, they're obsessed with blaming Israel. So corrected call Free, Free Kurdistan!
What we need as Kurds: 1: Air Force. 2: an influential leader who can show our people that we can put our cultural differences to the side and stand together whether in Syria, Iraq, Iran, or Turkey. The money and western support is there for it. As the largest ethnic minority in the world without a country, it’s a slap in the face by the international community that more has not been done for us.
*No* *No* *NO!* you need negotiation, there is no need for war, don't make yourselves look like rebels and terrorist by going to war with 4 biggest countries on Middle East. you already have a big population and united geography, there is no need to die, I honestly would advice you to look at this with bigger scope, you Kurds have respect in the region ,specially in Iran and Iraq, you could spend 10 years of negotiation and manage to create your own nation, or go to war with those countries for again 10 years, loose millions of people and most likely not create Kurdistan. it's the only reality, accept it and you will have a bright future, you will have Kurdistan, Inshallah, just act smart. Kurds are not loose criminals like ISIS in between boarders, so don't make yourselves look like them, don't label yourselves with ugly words such as _Terrorists_ because you are not! you are a nation! you are a ethnicity! make sure you peacefully work towards it, it might take 20 years, but it will be well worth it. trust me, I spend 20 years study history and culture, I learned this, this is the only recipe for Kurdistan, remember Armenian genocide! turkey have had 20% Armenian population during the ottoman era, they wanted to separate and 60% of them were murdered! this could be the reality of Kurdistan if there would be a war in the region, *Don't let them threat you as rebels* can you imagine 60 million of Kurds turn to 30 millions scattered between 4 countries, that would not even be big enough to try a second time. Act smart, I support Kurdistan, love from Iran
You can’t acknowledge in the same comment that the west will have your back, while also claiming that you get no international support lol. That makes no sense
What you need is not attacking the Federal German police at your rallies, every time with serious injuries at the police. German police should adapt Israeli procedures, to tell them how them to behave.
Thanks very much for your informations about great Kurdish people, which liev tausends of years in the same area. Salut from Switzerland with mounten and without see as Kürdistan.

@@skp8748 To many Kurds everyone they deal with is an outside power. What’s the difference between meeting a leader in Istanbul and joining with them in an alliance vs London to them? Both of them are foreigners that don’t care about them but atleast the London guns shoot better.
@@skp8748To the Kurds, the Arabs are also outsiders. Makes it worse when Arabs tried to genocide them after the Iran-Iraq War. They have no reason to side with their "countrymen" who merely treat them as troublemakers or lesser citizens, compared to outsiders who at least are giving them some sort of a helping hand.
As a US citizen it is quite painful that we have not given the Kurdish nation the support it deserves. It was my hope that the actions of the Peshmerga & other units against ISIS would galvanize more overt support...but geopolitics have screwed the Kurds at every turn.
I think the Kurds deserve better than the card they’ve been dealt from your analysis. I hope the Kurd factions can put aside their differences and work together for independence

@@Chorizero2369 we have a sad history, we have been and divided into 2 empires. So Ottoman Empire and Saffavid empire (persian) used kurds to kill each other. Every kurd can speak at least 2-3 language in the region. Other nations cans only speak one language. Kurdish people are the most democratic and equal people between men and women. Our kurdish women fought against Daesh dogs. My aunt she herself fought for our freedom. May her soul rest in peace.
The title deeds of the Armenian province are available in the Ottoman state archives. Today, the heir of the Ottoman Empire, the Republic of Turkey, has the authority to hand over the Armenian province to the Armenians again when the time comes. The peaceful repatriation of the nomadic Kurds, who colonized historical Armenia, to Mesopotamia and Iran is within the authority of the Republic of Turkey. Israel is a good example
Yeah it’s too bad Barzani tried to push the independence referendum in 2017, and then central gov in Iraq took back Kirkuk - and all of it’s massive oil revenue. Kurdish control lasted 2014-2017. 2014 was when the Kurds liberated Kirkuk from ISIS.
I was deployed to the Kirkuk area in 06 and 07 at FOB Mchenry. Worked side by side with the Peshmerga and felt super safe with them. They don’t mess around when it comes to warfare. All the Kurdish people I ever had the pleasure of meeting were always kind and friendly. But a lot of the people I had met in my time on that deployment were nice and kind people. It’s just a different culture and way of life that some people lose sight on.

Will you still say same thing ?
When I was in Iraq, during the US backed first election since the 1950s, there were seats in Iraqi parliament set aside for Kurdish leaders. They were in control of a large portion of Northern Iraq that US forces called Kurdistan and when our troops went there to visit the dam and even swim in the reservoir were able to walk around the Kurdish villages without their body armor and weapons. I was unable to go on the mission, though, so this is coming from my little brother and his rifle squad members (we were squad leaders together for ten out the thirteen months we spent there). Everyone of the twenty or so of our battalion's interpreters were Kurds and many of the Iraqi soldiers and police officers in the Mosul region were as well. Every single Kurdish soldier and police officer I met spoke Arabic, Kurdish, Turkish and English. A few spoke Russian and Persian. These weren't always traditionally educated men, though a few had graduated from the University of Mosul, but rather had learned all the languages out of both a need to survive and an unspoken good natured competition between one another as to whom could be the most fluent in the most languages. I found them all to be good men, highly intelligent soldiers and solid fighters.
The Kurds are very well liked among the us military, and Erbil probably has the highest number of US troops. They're great fighters and courageous people. Imo they're the sole reason Iraq wasn't overrun by ISIS, as the official Iraqi army wasn't putting up a fight and the PMF wasn't really armed and established. I hope one day they will be strong enough and supported enough to prevent turkey and Iran from bombing them whenever they want.
Appreciate your kind words as a kurd brother, I wish you luck and happiness in life, you sound very intelligent yourself and hopefully one day Kurdistan will be established and you will be more than welcome to visit.
You forgot to mention that British Air force bombing the kurdish villages and resistance with Iraqian army from 1921 to 1958 and destroyed hundreds of villages because Iraq was created by Britain after first World War. My grand father fought against British when Britain occupied kurdistan after WW1 with his 300 fighters, and one day when the british army attacked his region, called shameran he shot down a British fighter plane. My grand father name was Muhammad san Ahmed. Respect for your video
Well, Churchill did test Britain's first chemical gas bombs on Kurdish villagers hiding within caves. The point with Kurdistan that everyone can take from the activities conducted against the Kurds is that Kurdistan exists as a lawless paradise for external powers to commit crimes with impunity.
@@arwing20 Expand on that a little more. What did they lose? What are they keeping on loosing? Why can't they have their state, what's your argument for that? Come on, show us how smart you are.
Any smart person knows that unity means peace, prosperity and power to defend yourself. The real traitors are those who want to be divided. They are so brainwashed with their ethnicity and the lie of fake freedom that they don’t even realize they are putting themselves in great danger because the predator’s tactic is divide and conquer. The history is full of examples with this. The nature is full of examples with this. Every predator attacks the weaker member. Lions, wolves, etc. first create a diversion and divide the tribe so that they can get what they want! Even small stupid fish know how to defend themselves against large predators. They come together and pretend to be large even though they are not. Besides why side with foreigners who are only interested in our natural resources rather than work with our neighbors with whom we are sharing the land together for 1000s of years? Neither the Kurds nor the Turks who live in Turkiye want to divide. On the contrary, we want to unite all the nations in and around our lands so that we can bring peace and prosperity back. The history writes it was the British who drew the recent borders in the Middle East. They had divided our lands so that it will be difficult for us to unite again. Because they are well aware of us sending them back where they came from when we are united. They even planted a puppet government Israel right in the middle of Islamic states just to cause more conflict in the area. Wasn’t it more peaceful before the Brits? Didn’t we live in peace and prosper together for hundreds of years? Stop blaming Turks for the wars happening in the Middle East! The wars were in Europe when Turks ruled in the Middle East! Don’t be a fool my dear neighbor, my brother, my sister! “Sürüden ayrılanı kurt kapar!”
I'm Iranian and I love Kurds, I love their culture and their language! I believe Kurdistan has enough cultural and geographical unity to turn into a country. they are lovely people ,I have had classmates from Kermanshah, he was one of my best friends during mid-school. Also I strongly believe that Middle East before British colonisation have had open boarders in between ethnicities, there were no clear boarder, there were Turkish and Persian and Arabic cities who decided to protect certain geographical regions ,but never like after what the world has become after World War Two. I think the strong boarder ownerships began in Middle East region with the British, where they sow regions as belongings and wealth , you can ask any Arab ,Kurd, Turkish, Armenian ,Persian you know and they will agree, there were no boarder ownership in entire Middle East and because of that ethnicities rarely fought and if they did there usually was a conflict between sultans that forced them to join X or Y army. Kurds just like all other ethnicities in Middle East have a large population, they are the decedents of the Ancient Medes & Hattush (Hitties). so we know that they have had their own historical eras at some point. There always been good relations between Kurds and their neighbours up untill saddam and all other dictators who emerged after him in the region that is why it is important to keep in mind as any included/neighbouring people to Kurdistan that it would be a different relation between us if we went to war against Kurds than peacefully accepting their demand, remember these boarders we have today? they were not the boarders we decided to have, if the problem will solve with separation of Kurdistan so let it be so, we have a stronger bound in between us. I rather this friendship between us and Kurds because they are great people than destroying it because of greed and pride, I would hate it if I know one day people in my country and people in Kurdistan would have a slightest hate towards each other that was the product of a war that happened between our people. that has more value to us than having different shape on a worthless political map, remember we are human at the first place, and to be realistic about nationality, there is only one country we should all worry about and that is the Earth itself.
I agree, there were no borders. I'm from Kurdistan of Iraq, but half of my relatives live in Kurdistan of Iran which shows that people used to move freely without borders getting in the way. All the Kurds on the border cities have relatives in other parts of Kurdistan.
Persians & kurds should make a strong super state, with area from Iraq + Turkey plus beyond. Even Azerbajdzjan & Armenia. The future is unity, not wars.

They fought with alongside us when we were in Iraq. Their AOR was the ONLY area we felt safe for good reason: They stopped taking shit from the rest of that "country" once they saved Northern Iraq from Daesh. They organized their militias unlike Arabic Shiites and Sunnis in-fighting over scraps of Hussein's former reign. Incredibly brave, absolutely steadfast in their resolve, patriotic to their cause and they are fiercely protective over their identity. I respect that as a Native American. Now that Sweden is joining NATO, I wonder what Turkey bargained in regards to the PKK and Kurdish independence.
In Sweden PKK has been presented as representing a lot of the Kurds for years. It's only in present times that reports of lokal actors blackmailing other Kurds and funneling the money to PKK. Public opinion in that matter is changing fast but at the same time there is a clash between Turkish interpretation of freedom of religion and Swedish interpretation of freedom of speech. I think forces outside Sweden nudged Turkey to acctept Sweden into Nato rather than Sweden following all of Turkeys demands.
If there is one singular redeeming fact about Bush 41, it's the no-fly zone he instituted over Iraqi Kurdistan. At least some people survived the chemical raids this way. It's also weird how one of the heroes of the Muslim world, Yusuf ibn Ayub, better known as Salahuddin was a Kurd and born in Tikrit. Saddam was not kurdi, but born in the same city and tried to exterminate them.
So given that, and I agree mostly, why did the Peshmerga collapse in just days when the Iraqi Army moved into Kurdish areas to the edge of the governorates of Dohuk, Erbil and Sulimania? I wouldnt down play the Iraqi forces so much - yes they melted away in disgrace from ISIS in 2014 (which was a result of horrible governing by the Iraqis making Sunnis the underclass, and hence easy to recruit). But the Gold Division were the primary fighters in battle for Mosul which was so long and difficult due to all the vast tunnel systems built. The Militias were more of a follow-up police force and not front line soldiers then. Some were for their own groups (Christian Militias - Chaldeans), Turkoman, Kakai' and Shabbak, so they acted as their own defense forces. The Shia militias were really in it for money - once Iran stopped funding them, they basically became occupying units and began kidnapping the wealthy for cash in some areas. I had to meet some militias for road access but soon a Iraqi National Police force moved in as the local force in Mosul.

People should campaign for Kurdish independence at least as much as they campaign for Palestinian independence. Why the Kurdish cause is much less known and popular is a mystery to me.
People only do things the news tells them to hence why so many currently take to the streets for Ukraine despite their neo-nazi sympathies and crimes against the people of the Donbass for 10 years
I honetly don't know the answer but I would presume that given 🇮🇶s constitution was written by the international community it dictated that 🇺🇸 troops could not be forced out and that oil fields had to be privatized. Independent kurds wouldn't accept that especially given the socialist tradition.
With respect to all the countries and nations of the world, the Kurdish nation, with a population of more than fifty million and a well-known language and ancient culture and civilization, deserves a government. I hope the great powers will understand. Please introduce Kurdistan to the world with a video.❤
No they never, they created the safe haven in 1991 after the first gulf war and have had a presence ever since. Including support, it is no accident DAESH didn’t get much further than Mosul with its predominantly Arab population. The current issues are about the enclave areas in which the surrounding countries claim, the core of Kurdistan is stable.

This was mostly neutral but there were still downplaying facts and some huge mistakes, for example PKK was so wickedly attacking civilians including even Kurdish civilians the second highest casualty in this conflict after terrorists themselves isn't Turkish army, police nor civilians at all rather it is actually KURDS, civilians and especially Kurdish village guards that PKK killed thousands of them! There are hundreds of villages in southeastern Turkey alone and because the region is extremely mountainous Turkish army couldn't protect all villages constantly and Kurdish villagers were becoming easy targets for PKK raids. As a solution the government trained and armed Kurdish civilians so they could defend themselves until the army arrived. I bet some people may think ''Kurdish'' PKK and Kurdish villagers didn't fight against each others but in reality it is terrorist PKK which was seizing their assests while calling it ''tax'' and even forcefully recruiting their children! So Kurdish village guards pretty much always fought against them even if they were greatly outnumbered, while PKK simply declared them as ''traitors'' and mercilessly killed thousands of them!! Especially in 90s their violence was out of control if a Kurdish intellectual could talk against PKK would be found dead in their homes. Suicide bombing attacks in public buses, squires, markets, stations, stadiums you name it and this is the reason why literally DOZENS of countries recognize PKK as a terrorist organization as they really are terrorists!! PKK isn't committing as many terrorist attacks as before doesn't prove they magically changed like some westerners claim. Rather it is mainly because they can not smuggle both arms and themselves through Turkish-Iraqi anymore because of constant surveillance by drones. In 90s the best Turkey could do was building border outposts along the mountanious border to literally watch the border with soldiers and several dozen soldiers in a mountain peak were often becoming a target themselves.. It is true KDP asked support from even saddam but they did that out of desperation, after years of infighting they were exhausted and with great Iranian support PUK was gaining upper hand. This was also the point PKK joined PUK alliance not after KDP asked support from Iraqi government, there is a timelapse for obvious reasons! It was also completely ignored after PUK territorial gains in 1997 Turkey invaded norhern Iraq with 60,000 soldiers as PKK alliance couldn't be allowed to win the civil war and gain huge support. Instead of the truth it is told like Barzani stopped the civil war by swinging his magical wand for obvious reasons. This Turkish intervention and ending the civil war in favour of KDP was also the reason why Turkey and Barzanis have been allies since then and 15 Turkish bases were built in KDP territories started from 1998 for training Peshmerga forces and providing security. It is also a completely a false Turkey blocked KRG's access to the world, in fact both Barzani and Talabani also many Iraqi Kurds have TURKISH diplomatic passports so they can travel through Turkey freely and ask for support from other nations. What more Turkey supposed to do than giving people diplomatic passports who aren't even Turkish citizens, huh?? Then they also completely ignored vast majority of KRG's trade travel through Turkey including 95% of their oil exports and this was the only reason KRG could survive so long. Then comes ''Turkey using PKK as an excuse to attack YPG'' nonsense, while in reality there are around TWO THOUSAND PKK terrorists in YPG's ranks, in fact even the commander of YPG is a ''former'' PKK terrorists called Mazloum Abdi! This isn't a secret or anything, just search his name you would see he is a known PKK terrorist, but no worries according to our ''trustworthy'' allies he retired being a terrorist and he is a democratic hero now!! Turkey will never ever accept this moronity, while the only way PKK terrorists can be declared innocent they will surrender and apologize to the people that they killed thousands of them. Until it happens Turkey will continue targeting them in every opportunity or YPG can cut it's ties with PKK, in fact Turkey actually asked it from US many times before starting operations against them which was ofc forgotten again! However with even it's commander being a PKK terrorist i guess it is extremely unlikely they can cut ties or could be even called seperate organizations... PS: There aren't 30-40 million Kurdish people living Kurdistan, for example over 12 million Kurdish people out of Turkey's around 18 million Kurdish minority live in WESTERN Turkey not in Kurdistan. While the biggest Kurdish city in the world isn't Erbil, Sanadaj or Diyarbakır rather ISTANBUL with 3 million Kurdish population! They could at least research about populations properly but nope! By the way even if im a Turkish person im fully support a Kurdish state they suffered a lot especially in Iraq and we would rather having a border with a Kurdish state than Iraqis. But a KURDISH state not a terrorist state, we will never ever support such a country and even fight against it's forces as long as those PKK terrorists are in charge..

Kurdistan geography is much larger then that map. Kirmanshah, Iylam, Khaneqin Kirkuk, Shengal, Afrin, Gaziantep, Adiyaman, Maraş, Sivas, Erzincan, Kars and Ardahan.
There was a Kurdish population in Nagorno-Karabakh. They were expelled by the Armenians when Armenia took the region. They justified the expulsion because the Kurds had assisted in the Turkish genocide against the Armenians.
Kurds admitted their crime regarding Armenian Genocide. Yet they brazenly claim Van , Bitlis, Mush( places where Armenians massacred in their historic homeland ) as Kurdistan although those lands are within Armenian borders according to the first resolution of league of nations in Feb 1920. Besides, Kurds will never make free people country even for Kurds themselves. Because you are like north Korea, Syria, azerbaijan, the son inherits presidency from father!!!???

Ive been wanting to know more about Kurdistan since i 1st heard about it back in school from a classmate who happend to be from MASSIVE Kurdish family... i didnt really understand at 1st but, ive come along way... and Thankyou for the vid on topic here buddy i appriciate your effort
It's so funny that they are still calling Kurds nomads. Is it because they are deeply influenced by the propaganda of the occupiers or because they have a very superficial and shallow knowledge of the Kurds?
This was mostly neutral but there were still downplaying facts and some huge mistakes, for example PKK was so wickedly attacking civilians including even Kurdish civilians the second highest casualty in this conflict after terrorists themselves isn't Turkish army, police nor civilians at all rather it is actually KURDS, civilians and especially Kurdish village guards that PKK killed thousands of them! There are hundreds of villages in southeastern Turkey alone and because the region is extremely mountainous Turkish army couldn't protect all villages constantly and Kurdish villagers were becoming easy targets for PKK raids. As a solution the government trained and armed Kurdish civilians so they could defend themselves until the army arrived. I bet some people may think ''Kurdish'' PKK and Kurdish villagers didn't fight against each others but in reality it is terrorist PKK which was seizing their assests while calling it ''tax'' and even forcefully recruiting their children! So Kurdish village guards pretty much always fought against them even if they were greatly outnumbered, while PKK simply declared them as ''traitors'' and mercilessly killed thousands of them!! Especially in 90s their violence was out of control if a Kurdish intellectual could talk against PKK would be found dead in their homes. Suicide bombing attacks in public buses, squires, markets, stations, stadiums you name it and this is the reason why literally DOZENS of countries recognize PKK as a terrorist organization as they really are terrorists!! PKK isn't committing as many terrorist attacks as before doesn't prove they magically changed like some westerners claim. Rather it is mainly because they can not smuggle both arms and themselves through Turkish-Iraqi anymore because of constant surveillance by drones. In 90s the best Turkey could do was building border outposts along the mountanious border to literally watch the border with soldiers and several dozen soldiers in a mountain peak were often becoming a target themselves.. It is true KDP asked support from even saddam but they did that out of desperation, after years of infighting they were exhausted and with great Iranian support PUK was gaining upper hand. This was also the point PKK joined PUK alliance not after KDP asked support from Iraqi government, there is a timelapse for obvious reasons! It was also completely ignored after PUK territorial gains in 1997 Turkey invaded norhern Iraq with 60,000 soldiers as PKK alliance couldn't be allowed to win the civil war and gain huge support. Instead of the truth it is told like Barzani stopped the civil war by swinging his magical wand for obvious reasons. This Turkish intervention and ending the civil war in favour of KDP was also the reason why Turkey and Barzanis have been allies since then and 15 Turkish bases were built in KDP territories started from 1998 for training Peshmerga forces and providing security. It is also a completely a false Turkey blocked KRG's access to the world, in fact both Barzani and Talabani also many Iraqi Kurds have TURKISH diplomatic passports so they can travel through Turkey freely and ask for support from other nations. What more Turkey supposed to do than giving people diplomatic passports who aren't even Turkish citizens, huh?? Then they also completely ignored vast majority of KRG's trade travel through Turkey including 95% of their oil exports and this was the only reason KRG could survive so long. Then comes ''Turkey using PKK as an excuse to attack YPG'' nonsense, while in reality there are around TWO THOUSAND PKK terrorists in YPG's ranks, in fact even the commander of YPG is a ''former'' PKK terrorists called Mazloum Abdi! This isn't a secret or anything, just search his name you would see he is a known PKK terrorist, but no worries according to our ''trustworthy'' allies he retired being a terrorist and he is a democratic hero now!! Turkey will never ever accept this moronity, while the only way PKK terrorists can be declared innocent they will surrender and apologize to the people that they killed thousands of them. Until it happens Turkey will continue targeting them in every opportunity or YPG can cut it's ties with PKK, in fact Turkey actually asked it from US many times before starting operations against them which was ofc forgotten again! However with even it's commander being a PKK terrorist i guess it is extremely unlikely they can cut ties or could be even called seperate organizations... PS: There aren't 30-40 million Kurdish people living Kurdistan, for example over 12 million Kurdish people out of Turkey's around 18 million Kurdish minority live in WESTERN Turkey not in Kurdistan. While the biggest Kurdish city in the world isn't Erbil, Sanadaj or Diyarbakır rather ISTANBUL with 3 million Kurdish population! They could at least research about populations properly but nope! By the way even if im a Turkish person im fully supporting a Kurdish state they suffered a lot especially in Iraq and we would rather having a border with a Kurdish state than Iraqis or Syrians. But a KURDISH state not a terrorist state, we will never ever support such a country and even fight against it's forces as long as those PKK terrorists are in charge..
What Donald Trump did to the Kurdish people was horrific, by letting Turkey invade them after all their help. As an American my heart goes out to the Kurdish people and hope the US makes this right.
Trump betrayed Kurds in Syria for his building license in Istanbul (bribe). I want to thank to all Americans who supported Kurds in Kobane war. We never forget friends of hard times. 🙏
Indeed, it was hardly a "cold shoulder" or the US "assuming the Kurds had everything under control". Trump pulled out as a favor to Erdowan because the pile of garbage adores authoritarians and despots.
Trump didn’t do anything to the Kurds . Last I checked he’s not the leader of Turkey. He can’t tell them not to invade. Just like your precious Biden couldn’t tell Russia not to invade Ukraine. Seriously educate yourself more on subjects before talking.
... disinformation map. The area shows diffrent ethnic languages like Zaza, Pehlevi, Sorani, Kirmanchi, Arap, Assirian, Armenian, Turkish as a majority 1 Language and 1 nation. These local nations have different languages and tribes. If you put a map Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Estonia, Letonia and write GERMANICSTAN ?! its the same false disinformation. Please Western Politics do-not make trouble in middle east anymore. All these nations want to live ğn peace and friendship all together. Its enough USA and alliance created wars and terror in the middle east. Please dont make civil deads and stop sending guns, warlords to middle east. Its a great sin and agains human rights. "World peace please"
All this talk about Kurds being Iranian is silly. It's like saying the Polish are Russians because they are of mostly Slavic descent. Just *TRY* telling that to a Pole.
Finally someone says it, thank you. It's true we are in the same linguistic family and share some cultural things (i.e. newroz) but it ends there. I like and appreciate iranians but pan-iranists don't realize the vast majority of kurds do not see themselves as iranian. Especially the saying "where there is a kurd, there is iran". No.
@@kryptovalue2162Well the thing is, Kurds almost never existed as a state besides small kingdoms. That's why their notable moments in history is rather lacking. Wikipedia tends to say Ayyubid Dynasty is Kurdish but it was rather an Arabic dynasty. Later replaced bu a Turkic dynasty as the Mamluks.(Although still having ruled with mostly Arab influence)
It's Turkey you should be taking umbrage with as it was their refusal to acknowledge the original treaty that England and France drafted which recognized Kurdistan as an independent nation that caused all this mess to begin with. Leave it to ignorant clowns like you to blame England, France, and America for all the world's woes.
What happened when Arabs and Turks made borders? They literally did the same thing and sacked Kurdish lands. Stop pretending Mid-East is any better. God forbid the mid-east was the powerful region. May God protect all of us from such a fate
@@Justlooking94 a large Reason for the border as are now is do to two men a Briton, Mark Sykes, and a Frenchman, Francois Picot they divided the middle by there country's Interest not by ethnicity or religious populations I'm Not saying that the arabs and the turks didn't screw it up too but Sykes and picot where the main Offenders
Hi Simon, great topic! And a fairly relevant one for me as an inhabitant of the Middle East I guess.. As per your suggestion in the video, I *am* very much interested in a more detailed ethnographic/historic survey of the Kurds. Cheers!

The world - not just the Middle East - would be a very different place if the 1920 Treaty of Sevres (with an independent Kurdish country in one part of Kurdistan, as well as expanded versions of Greece and Armenia) had been implemented in full.
B) Mistakes: 1) You said Kurdistan was divided between four countries AFTER WW I. This is false. Western borders of Iran were largely settled in 1639 with the Treaty of Zuhab and only a few largely minor changes were made later. While before that, most of Kurdistan was part of Iran with those regions only being lost after Ottomans defeated Iran (back then known as Persia in the west) in the Battle of Chaldiran. 2) Unlike what you mentioned here, the Kurdish movements didn't began after World War II, there was a Kingdom of Kurdistan established in 1921 in the region of Sulaymaniyah, Iraq, which lasted until 1925 and then there was the Republic of Ararat (1927-1931) and the Dersim rebellion of late 30s in Turkey. There was also an autonomous region for Kurds of Karabakh called Kurdistan uezd (Red Kurdistan) as part of the USSR that lasted from 1923 to 1929 before being absorbed into Azerbaijani SSR. Of course there were also rebellions in late 1800s and during WW I but it seems to me that they were more tribal in nature. 3) Minor mistakes: 6:07 This is the flag of the Islamic republic, wrong flag for Iran of 1946. 15:12 Wrong flag for 1980s Iraq, this was only adopted in 2008. 15:47 I think this is the picture of modern Iraqi military, their uniforms look similar to the Americans. Finally, the name of the leader of the PKK should be pronounced like Ojalan not Okalan, c in Turkish alphabate and the latin Kurmanji Kurdish alphabet is pronounced like J in English.
WTF was your father doing in Iraq in the first place? "Army" = bodyguards for politicians (thugs in suits) that want to steal peoples' sh*t. Oil in this example..
Awesome video thank you but some minor points. It’s important to note that Kurds were the only people that did not leave the Ottoman Empire while Arabs left for their newly formed nations and Turks later also chose nationalism. This left the Kurds with the “caliphate” mentality left. They actually rebelled several times against the idea of a “new modern secular turkey” with the likes of Sheikh Said and his rebellion. The kurds also much earlier fought the English and also formed small kingdoms like sheik Mahmoud and his kingdom in Slemani. With this I mean that the Kurds didint want the division of the caliphate (ottoman) and they didint accept the devision of sevres treaty. With that said the Kurds have nothing left to trust or cooperate with the treaterous Turk and Arabs.
I will break down the facts for you as a Turk. Kurdistan was an autonomous state begore WW1 and its people have not demanded independence despite living in the area since a long time, we don't see one Kurdish Kingdom, state etc. "Kurdistan" is not occupied bc it never was an independent state. It never has been in the history of their existence. Here is the first juicy part: Kurdish traditions in no way promotr democracy; they have a system named "aşiret" in Turkish and it is much like a feudal system. There will be a very large family and a "head of the family" a man who will have multiple wives and usually scores of children. They will rule over their tribe like a "sheikh" rules over his village in Iraq. Needless to say, their paramilitary organizations; peshmerga, PKK,PJG and YPG are not formed nor supported by "democratic" organizations in any way. They have no respect for women any more than their surrounding states, their so called leader and the founder of internationally recognized terrorist org. PKK Abdullah Öcalan wrote in his book "Kurdish women are ugly and are bad at bed. I have had many of them before and getting them wet is no hard task." All these countries allow the sale of alcohol. So you are making shit up. Treaty of Sevres caused thousands of Ottoman civilians' deaths at the hands of allies. Turkey eas founded as a republic and republics do not have autonomous zones. Everyone is free to live by their traditions but for a nation that never had a state of its own, this narrative seems to be pushy. PKK only attacking Turkish officials is a filthy lie and it goes on to show how biased you are. Why would not you mention all the civilians they killed? Why not suicide bombers? They used literal SUICIDE BOMBERS on civilians in Istanbul, Ankara, eastern cities and killed scores of people indiscriminantly. What a shame man... It is funny how you forgot to mention peace talks in Turkey were abrupted by PKK's constant attacks on military and civilian targets. Did I also mention PKK is the one of the largest drug and human traffickers in the world? They are no different than Hamas, they never wanted peace. They just wanna protect their profits hence, they sabotaged peace talks by organizing many attacks. You my friend are not honest. Again, you are forgotting to mention Syrian Kurds attacked Turkish border cities that are heavily occupied by Kurds and Arabs with mortar, missiles etc. check out attacks on Kilis and see how many civilians were killed. This video has been an Orwellian nightmare in a sense of Kurd-washing the history...
I'm an Egyptian and for us the kurdistan issue is agreat example for what the britsh and french done in the world they separated nations and disputed lands in the Middle East for their sakes Then they left the region fractured with alot of borders problems It's so sad that till now their is no justice in the world , just the jungle rules I hope one day kurds will have their country which is their right historically and culturally they are a nation and this is there land On other hand the western wouldn't help them cause they the resone from the beginning
We Kurds will survive and will get our Kurdistan. Its not new that everyone is trying to take our land you talked about 100 years of our struggle but we are a nation of 6000-7000 years history. A lot of nations got erased in this time line but we survived and we will survive its in our blood to be great fighters of freedom and equality.
As a Kurd , thanks for your great video , Kurdistan Region of Iraq currently able to produce 500K barrels of oil per day and 500 Million standard cubic feet
For the sake of Kurdistan unity, Will you share your god given wealth to your Kurdish brother and sisters who where born in Iran, Turkey and Syria? Or you look down at them and keep being hostile to them as usual?
@@xeon39688 it isn't. it was shared between the Barzani boys and Erdogan. Salaries weren't paid when Baghdad stop sending funds because the KDP stopped sending them oil. And because the Barzanis approach everything like they're working on their fathers farm, all that money, billions of dollars, which they put in dodgy Turkish banks, are now denied to them by Erdogan after the French courts decision that the sales were illegal. So most of the oil money is now in Turkish hands, which is probably why the KDP are now the personal soldiers of Erdogan, attacking other Kurds fighting against Turkish fascists.
