Video really isn't about the Turkey. It's about how they were used like a fiddle throughout many countries. Harris' focus on here is the US, his own country.
I am a Kurd from what is called Iran. born in Iraq and grow up in the Iraqi Kurdistan. Half of my family lives in Iranian Kurdistan and the other half in Iraq. In iraq they call me Iranian and in Iran they call me Iraqi. I have never had a passport or Citizenship. When my grandfather was sick and dying, i was not allowed to cross the borders and meet him, i never meet him throughout my live. I call out people around the world to read and learn about all the other genocides and ethnic cleansing by those mentioned countries. And thank you for making the video. Sayad,

It's crazy that anticolonial movements in Palestine have massive support in these countries, yet they have their own version of the Palestinians they are oppressing themselves. Edit: Replies prove my point. Tons of hypocrites replying to this comment saying 'it's different' but then using the exact same arguments as the Israelis. "freedom! civil rights! (Just not in my backyard!)"
The Kurds never had a state in this region and no one here owes them one they themselves migrated to west asia later. Israel was founded after WW2 when Palestinians were already living there. The situation is not comparable in the least. If you care about this so much then why don't you talk about the Zazas,Yezidis and Assyrians who think Kurds stole their lands? Armenians also accuse them. See how messy this gets? It is not as simple as "Uhh just give them independence!". Turkey is the only country and moderator that keeps the peace in their part and prevents them going for eachother's throats and that's a fact.
@@soundwave2481I think you legitimately could not have made it more obvious that you are a Turk. Which is especially funny, because all Oghuz turks (except maybe the Turkmens) stole the land they consider their ancestral home. 1000 years ago, there were no turks in Turkey, no Azeris in Azerbaijan, etc. They stole all of that land. And considering how the government of Turkey treats Kurds and Greeks in their country, and how both the Turkish and Azerbaijani governments opress what little remains of their country's Armenian populations, seems like not much has changed.
Portraying Atatürk as a person who only dislikes the idea of Kurdish territory while the country was divided between the Greeks, Italians, French and the British. The guy formed a new country out of a fallen one and gave Turks, Kurds and all the other ethnic groups living space under one flag not false promises like the British did.
@@bigdaddyeddy1252Because there is a unity of minorities in Turkey. And there are many of them. Read history and you will understand what "divide and conquer" means.
Lol, we (British) literally created your country. People you know as forefathers (Such as Ziya Gokalp) of your country are trained by our intellectuals mainly in Malta. This is taught in our schools as to portray an image of how mighty the Britain is. We created a neo colony via Kemalism, and we manipulated them so much that they thought they were in charge, they were independent and strong😂 we kept it as our colony until USA wanted that colony for itself and they took it via political-islam. And Ataturk did as we say, look at Mosul, Kirkuk, or Treaty of Lausanne. And you have the nerve to call us out?
@@wowsocool3318 Are you able to look at the root cause of all these power games and manipulations? Can you zoom out and see the picture from outside? If you are on the side of inner peace, integrity and abundance for self and all, all these games are not needed at all. Little bit of a compassion and an expanded awareness may give us a broader view and understanding of reason for existence. Well, we create all the meanings. So why not choose a good one? Can you say that you, yourself has not been brainwashed by the so called "system". By the national collective consciousness of your society and education system.

“We were told that we were going to be attacked, but it was too late, and the notice was too short. All of a sudden, we heard the sound of bombs dropping all over the town. People started coughing, tears streaming from their eyes, and all I could think about was running. I grabbed my brother’s hand and ran as fast as I could, struggling to survive as people were dropping dead. I was getting weaker and weaker, but for the sake of my younger brothers, I had to pull through and just keep running. We survived the attack and stayed in a cave for a week without food or water. I had to go back to the town to search for something to eat or drinking water, but when I returned, I found a ghost town, filled with thousands of dead bodies lying on the ground, among them my relatives and neighbors.” This is the story of my mother during the Halabja chemical attack as she tried to survive the chaos. She and many others posed no threat to anyone, and all that we Kurds have ever wanted is to own the lands where we have lived for thousands of years, before anyone else claimed it as their homeland. This is just one story, but there are thousands more as we have endured many other genocides. Where is the justice in this?
I am a Kurd. There are so many stories of the Kurds to be told. We have suffered a lot more than what's said.. here is a very little part of our history which is full of blood, tears and pain : the regime of Baas al Iraqi ( which is Sadam Hussein's party ) did: 1. Every single day people went missing and got tortured and killed by there soldiers. 2. They did "Anfal" which was taking thousands of people away to deserts and burry them ALIVE among which were children, women and old people! 3. They did many chemical attacks to many places in Kurdistan the most brutal one was the the chemical attack on Halabja in which more than 5 thousand people died immediately and more than 10 thousand people got injured ( some died and many are suffering till this day) and many families lost their children which to this day they have no been found.. I am from Halabja ( that exact city) even after all these years on March 16 which is the date of the attack, there missing children ( which are not children anymore) are not found. The Anfal is not even considered as Genocide ! There are many other things to be told . The only reason of those people's deaths is that they are KURD and nothing else..!
@@AhmetOnurOnurlu-t1z yeah, right now Rojava ( AKA west Kurdistan ) is being attacked though they've been bombarded for decades including now and no one sees that nor they mention it..

But believe me that Most of The Kurds lead their life without any problem in Turkey. But There are some forces like PKK that seeks for some ways to distrupt the peace among The Turks and The kurds.Nobody should listen to the words of terrorist groups .

This video touches on the Kurdish issue, one of the biggest points of contention for Turkey and its eastern neighbors, and it’s clear it’s going to get millions of views. Congrats to the creator! It’s not just speculation for the sake of views-you’ve delved deep into the topic, so well done. As a liberal Turk, here’s my take on what we call the "Kurdish issue": in a world where autonomous regions, federal systems, and local governance are common, it seems unsustainable for a geographically large country like Turkey to centralize everything in one capital. This isn’t just about the Kurdish issue-it's about Turkey's broader problem. Local issues remain unresolved because everything depends on the slow, distant bureaucracy in Ankara. For a population of roughly 15 million Kurds, the problem becomes even more pressing. Ignoring such a significant population and acting as though cities where Kurds are the majority are not “Kurdish” at all-while relying on slogans like "Happy is the one who says I am a Turk"-creates an exclusionary and dismissive attitude. Yet, Turkey inherited a tradition from the Ottoman Empire of peacefully coexisting with multiple ethnicities. In my opinion-and I know many Turks would reject and even condemn this view-steps toward regional autonomy should be taken, as even prominent Turkish intellectuals have suggested. Ignoring Kurdish reality only delays the problem, making it bigger in the long run. Instead of marginalizing Kurds and damaging their trust in the Turkish state, we should focus on peaceful coexistence as equal citizens under the same nation. Kurds and Turks, as people with shared faith and cultural ties, can work toward the same national goals. But the key to achieving this is creating the motivation for Kurds to feel they belong and can thrive as part of Turkey. Recognizing their identity and accepting them as a respected part of Turkey would make solving the Kurdish issue much easier. I understand the fears, though-granting autonomy might eventually lead to demands for independence. Maybe Turkish nationalists are right to be worried, and maybe that could happen someday. But ignoring the issue won’t prevent it-it will happen sooner or later if that's the course. And in the meantime, this unresolved issue becomes a weak point that foreign powers can exploit to pressure Turkey. As a Turk, I think granting the Kurdish majority regions some level of autonomy makes more sense, even if it might lead to independence someday. Perhaps Turkish nationalists should shift their perspective. Instead of fearing autonomy, they could think: "If we win over the Kurds in our country, we might inspire Kurds in neighboring countries to align with us, achieving the broader unity envisioned in the Misak-ı Milli." Just as a Corsican became one of France's greatest leaders, maybe someone from Kurdistan could become a patriotic figure who brings great advancements to Turkey. If we emphasize what unites us-like the shared desire for a better, more prosperous life-rather than our differences, not just Kurds but all communities could live together in harmony. The U.S., as a multicultural nation, provides a great example of this, as does the Russian Federation with its many ethnic Turkish communities.
Glad to see there are Turks out there who actually have some logic, props to you. I’ve lived in Turkey for 4 years (working at the british embassy) and we were taught about this issue beforehand, but when i talked to Turks about it they completely just imitated state propaganda, %99 of them had no opinions of their own.
Thats very bold. If every ethnicity deserves its own seprate states, then there are thousands of ethni minorities in europe , india, US and russia. Free them also. Its a very dangerous ideology.

Just because you live in a region does not mean it is your kingdom. You cannot establish your own rules, your own system, your own army. Today, there are many different ethnic groups living in England, Germany, France and America. How would you explain if these people taking up arms and engaging in terrorist activities? You can't just look at the world from a Western perspective. Empathy brings peace.
@rakunx0 This is a point you do not want to understand. In modern societies, killing babies, killing women, killing the elderly, burning schools, burning hospitals, and exploding bombs in city centers are considered terrorist activities and are punished. If you want to establish a country and wage war like the people who lived a thousand years ago, you will not complain about the problems you encounter.

Exactly opposite: just because you have lived in a region throughout history, it’s your land and should be your kingdom. Besides, if one ethnic group has more power, that doesn’t mean to wipe out others rights on their land!!!
As an Iranian (Turk/Kurd), I understand that people of the region may want to be independent, and I have nothing against that, but calling Iran a new country is ridiculous. Iran is one of the oldest countries (if not the oldest exciting country) in the world. These lands were part of Iran for thousands of year
Do you know Turgut Özal? Turgut Özal was the 8th President of the Republic of Turkey. He served as Prime Minister between 1983 and 1989, and as President between 1989 and 1993. And he was Kurdish. Like him, many politicians, artists, and scientists have had important roles in Turkey's past and will continue to do so in its future. Do not confuse the Kurdish people with terrorists. Learn well who the Republic of Turkey neutralizes and who it honors. Do not mislead people with information imposed on you from here and there. Also, the current president's wife is Kurdish. Make sure to note this too. Stop trying to divide societies.
Conveniently leaves out how 'Turkification' was a part of abolishing their medieval feudalism system so they can own lands and not be the subjects of an Agha. Conveniently leaves out how PKK quite literally kills babies, not once, not twice but many times. I'm not saying this as a political hyperbole. Much like when your ancestors drew these borders, you still have no idea of the political and sociological realities of these lands. Your attempt of oversimplifying is laughable at best and borderline evil at worst. Kurds are our brothers, the problems plaguing them also plague us.
I am turkish, and we are living pacefully in turkey with our kurdish brothers. Please note that, if Kurds will one day ask for an indipendent state, that will have no piece of earth from actual Turkey's land borders. This should be well known and understood.
as a turk living in turkey, two of my bestfriends are kurdish and we have no problem and they arent suportting pkk as well as i do. turkish people are not hatefull against kurds only the ones that try to split up our land. and naturally no county or nation will accepte to lose its territory. lastly this map shows were great amount of kurds live however in this region large number of turks live as well, arent they have the right to live in the region they call home for centurys?
So much misinformation there, you are telling the story without either deep research on each involved country and its views, or without even knowing what you re doing. You mapped Armenis as a part where kurds are, I am giving you my word as an Armenian there is no Kurd living in Armenia, and there has never ever been any bombing on Armenia (Specifically the part you showed in your video, it is near the capital city of Yerevan and if there was bombing from Turkey that would be huge incident). So, please recheck the information given, and look closely at every dot before publishing these maps
Kurds are applauded for fighting to defend their people, clearly distinct as an ethnic group, but I bet Johnny wouldn't like native Europeans doing the same to defend their land from invaders, huh?
@@EliasRoyWhy would they like a terror propaganda ? Many civillians in those countries are killed and syrians are displaced and their lands occupied by US and kurdish terrorists.
The area you describe and outline was originally part of Persia--modern day Iran--going back THOUSANDS OF YEARS! THEN, western imperialism messed up the map lines of the region. Then the Ottoman Empire impinged on the territory of the shrinking Persian empire. In that span of time, going back thousands of years, Kurds have been a subset, a nomadic peoples who were understood and accepted to be transient. And in the last 120 years, in the midst of western imperialism, and drawing lines on paper that take no account of the impact of those lines on land, in the effort to further diminish the long established nations of the region--#1, Persia/Iran; #2, The Ottoman Empire/Turkey--western imperialists are trying to further diminish the strength and capacity of ancient powers in a region that is literally a world away from us and totally out of our jurisdiction. If you believe so much in the rights of the Kurds to have a nation, then you will support with equal fervor the disintegration of the USA into 50 individual nation-states, or even worst, thousands of tiny city states.
This guy almost lies about history in every video . There is nothing new from the old Vox mouthpiece . He lived his whole life spreading lies when he was a religious exterimist and did missionary, and now, with his maps and lies
Trump abandoning the most effective force actively fighting against ISIS while claiming he personally defeated ISIS is definitely the weirdest case of stolen valor I can think of in recent memory.
Kurdistan never existed as a country the information of this video is all wrong kurd is an iranian ethnic group and kurdush culture is a type of iranian culture and they share very similar traditions with other iranian ethnic groups kurdish is an iranian language.im iranian there is a lot of kurds around me(im not kurd)and we love them all so much.please do not payattention of this video
@@infostar8177 no, I don't read Turkish history, lmfao, are you gonna claim now almost every Iranian Dynasty is Kurdish like an average Kurdish nationalist? 😂
But why you don't mention how the Kurds came to that region with the Turks, where they helped them in the Battle of Chaldiran against the Safavid Persians, and the Ottomans rewarded them by settling them in the land of the indigenous people, and they participated with the Ottomans in killing hundreds of thousands and displacing millions of Armenians, Syriacs and Assyrians, and they occupied in their place from the years 1880 to 1930? Why do you always hide these facts?
Either by laws or politics, Kurdish movement has no legal description. People who live in a certain region cannot have self-determination right without Terra Nulius happening. According to international law, secessionist movements forbidden. So, you cannot claim there is a state terror. Because the central movement is illegal and who supports it basically secessionist. The man who created this video is entirely ignorant. Turkish government is sovereign in the region. Without consent of sovereign, any claim of anyone is unvalid. You can say Turks trying assimilate you. Kurds living under West's economy. Almost all economic production of whole country is created in the West. Without west, there is no difference between Lebanon and Southern Turkey. Without the Western Turkey, ya guys would end up as like syria or iraq since you guys dont have enough strength to protect yourselves from USA and Russia's games too. Iran can atleast prevent those, but we saw what would happen if a country couldnt prevent them and here iran and iraq.
@@Seyedamirrezasalahaldini Lebanon wasn't a country, they got a country, Syria wasn't a country, they got a country, Jordan wasn't a country, they got a country, Israel wasn't a country, they got a country. What makes Kurds any less deserving of self-rule than all of these groups mentioned? The arabs in all four of those countries are even the same ethnicity! Same language, ethnic identity, everything! How come they get to have multiple countries, but Kurds don't even get one? Claiming that they weren't a country when modern nation stated didn't exist is not an excuse. Kurds are a distinct people who fulfil all the criteria of statehood according to the Montevideo Convention, yet they don't have a single state. If they hadn't been treated as subhuman and as second-class citizens in all four occupied regions over the last century, there wouldn't have been the strong desire for nationhood. Imagine watching everyone around you get nationhood in the carve-up of a fallen empire, yet you don't even get one state on your own ancient land that you've been indigenous to for millennia.
The video was well-prepared, but there are many historical facts and current dynamics that were not addressed. First of all, there has never been a country called "Kurdistan" in the region. It should be noted that the area is geographically referred to as Kurdistan. A hundred years ago, there was an empire that ruled the region for 600 years-the Ottoman Empire. The Ottomans never divided their subjects based on ethnic groups, and all Ottoman records show that the subjects were classified as Muslims and non-Muslims(pls check Millet system). The Kurds have lived in Mesopotamia for centuries in peace and unity with the other peoples of the region. After the French Revolution in Europe, nationalist movements spread worldwide, eventually leading to the fall of empires. For the past hundred years, European and American powers have continued to play a significant role in the region, especially regarding control over oil reserves and other resources. Their aim has been to prevent the emergence of an independent and stable Middle Eastern states through both internal and external policies. Unfortunately, the promise of a state for the Kurds is also part of the EU and U.S.’s manipulative schemes. Can anyone genuinely explain why the U.S. is constantly trying to exert influence beyond its own borders? The countries in the region have taken steps-sometimes correct, sometimes flawed-to maintain their internal political balances. Nevertheless, it should not be forgotten that the PKK movement over the last 50 years has been consistently supported by the EU and the U.S. So, who were the countries harmed by this support? Turkey has made significant strides regarding the Kurdish issue in the last 20 years, but that doesn’t mean everything has been resolved-there is still much progress to be made. However, at least Kurds in Turkey can now speak their language freely and access Kurdish media outlets. Kurdish politicians are also actively present in the parliament. Kurds make up the second-largest voting group in the country and directly influence Turkey's policies through their decisions.
The question is when Iran had its first election in 1953 and a prime minister was chosen, He was basically assasinated by hard liners financed and provided for and trained by the British and American Intelligence agencies, then they instated Reza Pehlavi because he agreed to grant them both the control of Iran's Oil fields which the prime minister was in the process of nationalisation. Why did the Americans and British then did not "carve out" the Kurdish Area? I mean No issues blaming Khomeini, however, that too should be mentioned. Again in the case of Iraq, Saddam Hussein was basically helped by the Americans as a buffer and counter the Iranians, and secure Iraqi oil. Why does the US have to be involved in everything when they are 4-5k miles away?
so many lies I can't even keep track! Pahlavi government was already in place, Reza pahlavi was the constitutional Monarch and there WERE elections held since the "Mashrote" or constitution revolution had succeeded and the national assembly had existed. Mosssadegh was brought to power by support of the Shah at first to fight British petroleum hold on our oil but soon he began a coup against the government and he lost. separatists whether kurds or Azeris had been receiving support from the soviets since 1946 when they left Iran and those who were seeking to annex our soil in north west had actually taken land from the local kurdish and Azeri and lur iranians and unconstitutional! so they entered a war and lost. Also Iran is NOT a new country in fact the only nation that never had it's borders drawn by a british or french in 1800's.
@@erfanmirzaei3100 Thank you for the additional Information. I do not know if you are negating what I have said, and stating my statements as lies? Nevertheless, thank you for providing me with new information. The Information which I have provided above about Reza and Mossadegh is from my reading, From a book by Stephen Kinzer. After re-instating the monarch a Trade consortium of 1954 was put in place which stopped the nationalisation of oil fields and gave control of them to the British and Americans. Since then the Shah brought about great infrastructural and educational developments, although the prime resources i.e oil was being lost to private companies. To bypass that he brought about the 1973 sale and purchase agreement. The ridiculousness of this all is that Ayatullah was living in Turkey and then France before the coup. He was flown there in Air france and he was the time magzine person of the year 1979.
The Russians main motivation was helping the Arab nationalists and other factions fighting Al Qaeda and ISIS and are in Syria on behalf of the government. They too do not care about the Kurds and have nothing to gain from attacking or using them.
You didint show any historical writings documents which can proof kurdistan.You just showed only maps in your whole video Kurds weren’t exist there Assyrian were living there Kurds emigrated from Iran in 1500s during the reign of Yavuz Sultan Selim
Across the world there are many many many countries that were never independent states, or had a history of owning their own country, but, they are today independent countries.. so why not Kurds?under the current situation Kurds don’t really have an option to decide their own future, as its always decided by either the Iraqi, Syrian, Iranian or Turkish government.
Kurds are the indigenous people of these lands. They can establish a state whenever they want. Turks are an invading tribe that came to Anatolia later.
@@YusufGever there is no such thing as Kurds, people are mixed, if you are a kurd do a DNA test and you will see, all tribes have invaded lands in the past, according to your analogy kurds where there ever since planet earth was created, which is quite stupid, the so called "kurds" also migrated from central-south Asia to todays Iraq, so check your facts first.
@@blackvirus9 What you say about Kurds is a complete lie. They were always in the Middle East. Kurds have many J2 blood groups. J2 blood group is found in Anatolian natives. This shows that the Kurds did not come from anywhere and were always in Anatolia.

As a syrian living in Turkey, I would like you to know some facts about these "peace birds" of yours. As you mentioned they are recongnized even by Europeans as terrorist groups for a reason YPG in Syria is literraly bombing civillians in areas out of their control. YPG banned Turkish and Arabic in Villages and counties where people hardly speak any other language. PKK has and still is targeting cilvillians in Turkey ( Lastly Tuşas Attack; the attack started by shooting pedesterians) Come cry me a river about how the Kurds suffered. If the mentioned groups are the representatives of the Kurds then the Kurds are no different from their opsessors. Peace
I am a fan of your videos for years Johnny. But there are many mistakes and misleading information in this video. Not only in details, there are giant mistakes. Clear, very apparent mistakes. I still want to believe in your honesty but it gets hard with these type of misleading videos. We all know that we can use the same story and change what the audience gonna believe in by just shaping our words. This video doesn't do this only, but also sharing wrong information very clearly to the people who knows, but the average people won't know. It's just sad.
after seeing this video, the first thing in my mind that I was understand what is happening in middle east that people say its just a conflict. but the reality its very complex and its related to anything, such as between saddam husain and kurds, turks and pkk, Iran and kurds, syria and kurds, that the reality its have a same problem like in my country Indonesia. which is OPM in Papua island is wanting their freedom in their land, but the government and I especially not agree with that. BUT, in this kurds case somehow I support kurds to fight for freedom over their land and get their own country, which is this is same like the conflict in Papua that I don't support and agree and its opposite with the kurds case that I don't. (pardon me if my English is bad pal, cause I'm still learning)
Because there are no kurds in the current borders of Armenia, there are some Assyrians and Yazidis, no kurds. Armenians are not too fond of kurds because they were active participants in the Armenian genocide, and kurds also occupy Western Armenian territory and are now trying to claim it as kurdistan.
And Iraq or Syria or Turkey. all this name are made by West after WW1. there were many empires in the region but not countrys. the west divided middel east and made many countrys
Someone should teach some people that principality and emirate are something separate from the country. Kurds have never established a country. Moreover, the Kurds had not been able to establish any state before the Turks came there. What could be the logic behind hiding your hostility towards Turks with double standards? Also, in which country in the world did a worker's party throw Molotov cocktails at your citizens and kill them in the squares with suicide bombers?
For more historical context with Turkey and Mustafa Kemal, the Kurds in fact supported him because at the time they were very religious and were duped into fighting for 'Islam' (the remnants of the ottoman caliphate) against the Christian Europeans when in reality they fought for a secular Turkish nation-state. So once they realized they had been tricked, they began rebelling against Turkey from the 1930s onwards. They missed out on a great deal to have their own country, had they worked together with the British+French and Armenians, so they dug themselves into a deep hole.
And how would they have been having their own land when they didn't get along with Armenians, Assyrians etc? Not to mention the Turkmen and Arabs in the area who they did get along with, were they supposed to kill them too for a country? For more historical context, the Kurds are native to Southwest Iran, so if they want some land they can always talk to their ancestoral Iranian people and take a piece of Iran.
@@PekekeTerbiyecisi What do you mean? When Turks established their nation-state, they forced assimilated everyone (Circassians, Abkhaz, Arabs, Kurds, Laz etc.), all groups which previously lived in their own communities with their own language during the Ottoman Empire. A Kurdish state wouldn't have been much different, it would have provided the majority population comprising Kurds their own nation-state to protect their language and cultural rights. Completely reasonable the Kurds, who are their own nation with a distinct language and history. The Kurds are indigenous people, descendants of the Medians. Some specific areas like Van, was actually Armenian to begin with (Urartu civilization) so Kurds expanded overtime but have generally inhabited that region for millennia.
@@Ethan-qo9rx The Medes were an ancient Iranian people who primarily lived in the region known as Media, which was located in the northwestern part of ancient Iran. Media corresponds roughly to modern-day western Iran, rather than Turkey. Source: The Cambridge History of Iran Book 1: The History of Croesus and the Lydians Book 7: The Persian Wars and the Medes' Role in Persia's Rise Like I said. Kurds have NEVER been indigenous to Turkish lands. Turks are like Americans. If you live in Turkey you're a Turk. Turkic however is a different thing. Learn the difference. Also during Ottoman times there was a language called Lisân-ı Osmânî, which basically means Ottoman language which was heavily influenced by turkish and borrowed some iranian, arabic words. Do not spread misinformation. Learn some history read some books then come back.
classic american strategy. It prepares a so-called historical basis for ethnic groups to revolt in the places it chooses, promises to support the ethnic groups it arouses, and after the rebels revolt, it ignores them and collapses there. mr. johnny harris You are one of the key points of this work because you have undertaken the propaganda of historical basis. Nothing you say in the video has any source and it is clear that it is propaganda. Additionally, most of the Kurds living in Türkiye are known for their loyalty to Türkiye.

İ think all the Kurds leading their life in Anatolia should co- operate with the Turkish state without any objection , Their identity is going to be preserved even if They live together with The kurds . İn fact , Most of the Kurdish people are able to speak of their mother tongue without feeling any fear because The Turkish government doesn ‘t use force in order to discourage them from speaking in their own language. But They should be fluent in both Turkish and Kurdish because The official language in my country iş Turkish , so everbody should learn how to speak our official language. Please you all prefer to be in accordance with The Turkish state, otherwise some western forces keep weaponizing you as a paramilitery force.
I am a Kurdish person who grew up in Turkey. Turkey is a nationalist country, and any ethnicity perceived as different is often viewed as a threat to national unity. Since the division of the Ottoman Empire into multiple countries based on ethnicity, this fear has shaped the ideology of the modern Turkish state, leading to aggression and racism toward minorities. Kurds, in particular, have faced torture, oppression, and even killings simply for being different and for speaking their language. Unfortunately, the systematic assimilation of Kurds continues to this day. To illustrate the impact of racism from my own experience: my family migrated from southeastern Turkey to the western part of the country due to economic and political pressures from the government aimed at forcing Kurdish people to mix with other ethnicities and assimilate. My parents only spoke Kurdish and didn’t know Turkish. Growing up in a predominantly Turkish city, I often felt like an outsider. I was aware of the discrimination from a young age, especially in neighborhoods and schools; by the age of 8 or 9, I was already experiencing the effects of racism. My parents were concerned for our safety and advised my siblings and me to hide our Kurdish identity from our friends. Whenever Turkish people learned we were from a Kurdish city, I could sense their prejudices and their efforts to distance themselves from us. In summary, throughout my life-within school, my career, and social interactions-I have constantly encountered racism. Sadly, many Kurds have had similar experiences.
Thank you so much for that detailed explanation of the Kurdish situation! I am Kurdish and I have been watching your videos for a very long time now, and in fact, I have previously translated several of your other videos into Kurdish and posted them on my website with reference to you yourself, and your channel. I really appreciate your concern and honesty with this video, as it is clear as crystal how the Turks and the Iranians are oppressing us and spreading false information all over the world.

I've seen this 3 months ago, yt put it my recommanded page again and I saw the thumbnail. Johnny my guy, I'm telling you as a Kurd, never, ever, ever draw lines in our border ever again. long live Iran.
One of the reasons why the imperalists (France and Britain) didnt make a Kurdistan like they made Syria, Iraq and Jordan and so on, is because they were afraid of the conservative and pracitising Kurdish Muslims who would held the uprise and keeping for an Ottoman Empire opposite of secular Kemal Ataturk and his likewise secular politicians who were against Ottoman, Kurds and Islamic influence. The Kurds were some of the most loyal Muslims who oppossed secularism and the imperalists didnt like this fact.. they afraid of a new Islamic empire in middle of Mesopotamia after the Ottoman fall

The Kurds never had a state in this region and no one here owes them one they themselves migrated to west asia later. Israel was founded after WW2 when Palestinians were already living there. The situation is not comparable in the least. If you care about this so much then why don't you talk about the Zazas,Yezidis and Assyrians who think Kurds stole their lands?

Which is especially funny, because all Oghuz turks (except maybe the Turkmens) stole the land they consider their ancestral home. 1000 years ago, there were no turks in Turkey, no Azeris in Azerbaijan, etc. They stole all of that land. And considering how the government of Turkey treats Kurds and Greeks in their country, and how both the Turkish and Azerbaijani governments opress what little remains of their country's Armenian populations, seems like not much has changed.
Portraying Atatürk as a person who only dislikes the idea of Kurdish territory while the country was divided between the Greeks, Italians, French and the British. The guy formed a new country out of a fallen one and gave Turks, Kurds and all the other ethnic groups living space under one flag not false promises like the British did.

“We were told that we were going to be attacked, but it was too late, and the notice was too short. All of a sudden, we heard the sound of bombs dropping all over the town. People started coughing, tears streaming from their eyes, and all I could think about was running. I grabbed my brother’s hand and ran as fast as I could, struggling to survive as people were dropping dead. I was getting weaker and weaker, but for the sake of my younger brothers, I had to pull through and just keep running. We survived the attack and stayed in a cave for a week without food or water. I had to go back to the town to search for something to eat or drinking water, but when I returned, I found a ghost town, filled with thousands of dead bodies lying on the ground, among them my relatives and neighbors.”
This is the story of my mother during the Halabja chemical attack as she tried to survive the chaos. She and many others posed no threat to anyone, and all that we Kurds have ever wanted is to own the lands where we have lived for thousands of years, before anyone else claimed it as their homeland. This is just one story, but there are thousands more as we have endured many other genocides.

Every single day people went missing and got tortured and killed by there soldiers.
2. They did "Anfal" which was taking thousands of people away to deserts and burry them ALIVE among which were children, women and old people!
3. They did many chemical attacks to many places in Kurdistan the most brutal one was the the chemical attack on Halabja in which more than 5 thousand people died immediately and more than 10 thousand people got injured ( some died and many are suffering till this day) and many families lost their children which to this day they have no been found.. I am from Halabja ( that exact city) even after all these years on March 16 which is the date of the attack, there missing children ( which are not children anymore) are not found.
The Anfal is not even considered as Genocide !

Nice answer. He is from occupied Kurdistan.
This video touches on the Kurdish issue, one of the biggest points of contention for Turkey and its eastern neighbors, and it’s clear it’s going to get millions of views. Congrats to the creator! It’s not just speculation for the sake of views-you’ve delved deep into the topic, so well done.
As a liberal Turk, here’s my take on what we call the "Kurdish issue": in a world where autonomous regions, federal systems, and local governance are common, it seems unsustainable for a geographically large country like Turkey to centralize everything in one capital. This isn’t just about the Kurdish issue-it's about Turkey's broader problem. Local issues remain unresolved because everything depends on the slow, distant bureaucracy in Ankara. For a population of roughly 15 million Kurds, the problem becomes even more pressing. Ignoring such a significant population and acting as though cities where Kurds are the majority are not “Kurdish” at all-while relying on slogans like "Happy is the one who says I am a Turk"-creates an exclusionary and dismissive attitude.
Yet, Turkey inherited a tradition from the Ottoman Empire of peacefully coexisting with multiple ethnicities. In my opinion-and I know many Turks would reject and even condemn this view-steps toward regional autonomy should be taken, as even prominent Turkish intellectuals have suggested. Ignoring Kurdish reality only delays the problem, making it bigger in the long run. Instead of marginalizing Kurds and damaging their trust in the Turkish state, we should focus on peaceful coexistence as equal citizens under the same nation. Kurds and Turks, as people with shared faith and cultural ties, can work toward the same national goals. But the key to achieving this is creating the motivation for Kurds to feel they belong and can thrive as part of Turkey. Recognizing their identity and accepting them as a respected part of Turkey would make solving the Kurdish issue much easier.
I understand the fears, though-granting autonomy might eventually lead to demands for independence. Maybe Turkish nationalists are right to be worried, and maybe that could happen someday. But ignoring the issue won’t prevent it-it will happen sooner or later if that's the course. And in the meantime, this unresolved issue becomes a weak point that foreign powers can exploit to pressure Turkey. As a Turk, I think granting the Kurdish majority regions some level of autonomy makes more sense, even if it might lead to independence someday.
Perhaps Turkish nationalists should shift their perspective. Instead of fearing autonomy, they could think: "If we win over the Kurds in our country, we might inspire Kurds in neighboring countries to align with us, achieving the broader unity envisioned in the Misak-ı Milli." Just as a Corsican became one of France's greatest leaders, maybe someone from Kurdistan could become a patriotic figure who brings great advancements to Turkey.
If we emphasize what unites us-like the shared desire for a better, more prosperous life-rather than our differences, not just Kurds but all communities could live together in harmony. The U.S., as a multicultural nation, provides a great example of this, as does the Russian Federation with its many ethnic Turkish communities.
Glad to see there are Turks out there who actually have some logic, props to you. I’ve lived in Turkey for 4 years (working at the british embassy) and we were taught about this issue beforehand, but when i talked to Turks about it they completely just imitated state propaganda, %99 of them had no opinions of their own.

The area you describe and outline was originally part of Persia--modern day Iran--going back THOUSANDS OF YEARS! THEN, western imperialism messed up the map lines of the region.

In that span of time, going back thousands of years, Kurds have been a subset, a nomadic peoples who were understood and accepted to be transient. And in the last 120 years, in the midst of western imperialism, and drawing lines on paper that take no account of the impact of those lines on land, in the effort to further diminish the long established nations of the region--#1, Persia/Iran; #2, The Ottoman Empire/Turkey--western imperialists are trying to further diminish the strength and capacity of ancient powers in a region that is literally a world away from us and totally out of our jurisdiction. If you believe so much in the rights of the Kurds to have a nation, then you will support with equal fervor the disintegration of the USA into 50 individual nation-states, or even worst, thousands of tiny city states.
You just described the future of the USA perfectly.

But why you don't mention how the Kurds came to that region with the Turks, where they helped them in the Battle of Chaldiran against the Safavid Persians, and the Ottomans rewarded them by settling them in the land of the indigenous people, and they participated with the Ottomans in killing hundreds of thousands and displacing millions of Armenians, Syriacs and Assyrians, and they occupied in their place from the years 1880 to 1930? Why do you always hide these facts?

Either by laws or politics, Kurdish movement has no legal description. People who live in a certain region cannot have self-determination right without Terra Nulius happening. According to international law, secessionist movements forbidden. So, you cannot claim there is a state terror. Because the central movement is illegal and who supports it basically secessionist. The man who created this video is entirely ignorant. Turkish government is sovereign in the region. Without consent of sovereign, any claim of anyone is unvalid. You can say Turks trying assimilate you. Kurds living under West's economy. Almost all economic production of whole country is created in the West. Without west, there is no difference between Lebanon and Southern Turkey.
Without the Western Turkey, ya guys would end up as like syria or iraq since you guys dont have enough strength to protect yourselves from USA and Russia's games too.
Iran can atleast prevent those, but we saw what would happen if a country couldnt prevent them and here iran and iraq.
you guys were not even country to begin with
did you ever watch the video?
@@Seyedamirrezasalahaldini Lebanon wasn't a country, they got a country, Syria wasn't a country, they got a country, Jordan wasn't a country, they got a country, Israel wasn't a country, they got a country. What makes Kurds any less deserving of self-rule than all of these groups mentioned? The arabs in all four of those countries are even the same ethnicity! Same language, ethnic identity, everything! How come they get to have multiple countries, but Kurds don't even get one?
Claiming that they weren't a country when modern nation stated didn't exist is not an excuse. Kurds are a distinct people who fulfil all the criteria of statehood according to the Montevideo Convention, yet they don't have a single state. If they hadn't been treated as subhuman and as second-class citizens in all four occupied regions over the last century, there wouldn't have been the strong desire for nationhood. Imagine watching everyone around you get nationhood in the carve-up of a fallen empire, yet you don't even get one state on your own ancient land that you've been indigenous to for millennia.
@@Chrysaetos3 kurds will not have country + they had country in the past exept israel a=and kurds doesnt have a country
The video was well-prepared, but there are many historical facts and current dynamics that were not addressed. First of all, there has never been a country called "Kurdistan" in the region. It should be noted that the area is geographically referred to as Kurdistan. A hundred years ago, there was an empire that ruled the region for 600 years-the Ottoman Empire. The Ottomans never divided their subjects based on ethnic groups, and all Ottoman records show that the subjects were classified as Muslims and non-Muslims(pls check Millet system). The Kurds have lived in Mesopotamia for centuries in peace and unity with the other peoples of the region.
After the French Revolution in Europe, nationalist movements spread worldwide, eventually leading to the fall of empires. For the past hundred years, European and American powers have continued to play a significant role in the region, especially regarding control over oil reserves and other resources. Their aim has been to prevent the emergence of an independent and stable Middle Eastern states through both internal and external policies. Unfortunately, the promise of a state for the Kurds is also part of the EU and U.S.’s manipulative schemes. Can anyone genuinely explain why the U.S. is constantly trying to exert influence beyond its own borders?
The countries in the region have taken steps-sometimes correct, sometimes flawed-to maintain their internal political balances. Nevertheless, it should not be forgotten that the PKK movement over the last 50 years has been consistently supported by the EU and the U.S. So, who were the countries harmed by this support? Turkey has made significant strides regarding the Kurdish issue in the last 20 years, but that doesn’t mean everything has been resolved-there is still much progress to be made. However, at least Kurds in Turkey can now speak their language freely and access Kurdish media outlets. Kurdish politicians are also actively present in the parliament. Kurds make up the second-largest voting group in the country and directly influence Turkey's policies through their decisions.
The question is when Iran had its first election in 1953 and a prime minister was chosen, He was basically assasinated by hard liners financed and provided for and trained by the British and American Intelligence agencies, then they instated Reza Pehlavi because he agreed to grant them both the control of Iran's Oil fields which the prime minister was in the process of nationalisation. Why did the Americans and British then did not "carve out" the Kurdish Area? I mean No issues blaming Khomeini, however, that too should be mentioned. Again in the case of Iraq, Saddam Hussein was basically helped by the Americans as a buffer and counter the Iranians, and secure Iraqi oil. Why does the US have to be involved in everything when they are 4-5k miles away?
so many lies I can't even keep track! Pahlavi government was already in place, Reza pahlavi was the constitutional Monarch and there WERE elections held since the "Mashrote" or constitution revolution had succeeded and the national assembly had existed. Mosssadegh was brought to power by support of the Shah at first to fight British petroleum hold on our oil but soon he began a coup against the government and he lost. separatists whether kurds or Azeris had been receiving support from the soviets since 1946 when they left Iran and those who were seeking to annex our soil in north west had actually taken land from the local kurdish and Azeri and lur iranians and unconstitutional! so they entered a war and lost. Also Iran is NOT a new country in fact the only nation that never had it's borders drawn by a british or french in 1800's.
@@erfanmirzaei3100 Thank you for the additional Information. I do not know if you are negating what I have said, and stating my statements as lies? Nevertheless, thank you for providing me with new information. The Information which I have provided above about Reza and Mossadegh is from my reading, From a book by Stephen Kinzer. After re-instating the monarch a Trade consortium of 1954 was put in place which stopped the nationalisation of oil fields and gave control of them to the British and Americans. Since then the Shah brought about great infrastructural and educational developments, although the prime resources i.e oil was being lost to private companies. To bypass that he brought about the 1973 sale and purchase agreement. The ridiculousness of this all is that Ayatullah was living in Turkey and then France before the coup. He was flown there in Air france and he was the time magzine person of the year 1979.
Completly forgot about the Russians in Syrië 😅
The Russians main motivation was helping the Arab nationalists and other factions fighting Al Qaeda and ISIS and are in Syria on behalf of the government. They too do not care about the Kurds and have nothing to gain from attacking or using them.
Lead the way Johnny, give a chunk of the USA to the native Americans!

You didint show any historical writings documents which can proof kurdistan.You just showed only maps in your whole video
Kurds weren’t exist there Assyrian were living there
Kurds emigrated from Iran in 1500s during the reign of Yavuz Sultan Selim
They never had a nation in the past, so why invent one? obvious interests.
Across the world there are many many many countries that were never independent states, or had a history of owning their own country, but, they are today independent countries.. so why not Kurds?under the current situation Kurds don’t really have an option to decide their own future, as its always decided by either the Iraqi, Syrian, Iranian or Turkish government.
@@windowsxpisloading why not give lands from your country?
Kurds are the indigenous people of these lands. They can establish a state whenever they want. Turks are an invading tribe that came to Anatolia later.
@@YusufGever there is no such thing as Kurds, people are mixed, if you are a kurd do a DNA test and you will see, all tribes have invaded lands in the past, according to your analogy kurds where there ever since planet earth was created, which is quite stupid, the so called "kurds" also migrated from central-south Asia to todays Iraq, so check your facts first.
@@blackvirus9 What you say about Kurds is a complete lie. They were always in the Middle East. Kurds have many J2 blood groups. J2 blood group is found in Anatolian natives. This shows that the Kurds did not come from anywhere and were always in Anatolia.
Our friends are the mountains. We trust no one but the mountains. We have been betrayed too much and it has taught us that our friends are not people but mountains.
As a syrian living in Turkey, I would like you to know some facts about these "peace birds" of yours.
As you mentioned they are recongnized even by Europeans as terrorist groups for a reason
YPG in Syria is literraly bombing civillians in areas out of their control.
YPG banned Turkish and Arabic in Villages and counties where people hardly speak any other language.
PKK has and still is targeting cilvillians in Turkey ( Lastly Tuşas Attack; the attack started by shooting pedesterians)
Come cry me a river about how the Kurds suffered. If the mentioned groups are the representatives of the Kurds then the Kurds are no different from their opsessors.

I am a fan of your videos for years Johnny. But there are many mistakes and misleading information in this video. Not only in details, there are giant mistakes. Clear, very apparent mistakes.
I still want to believe in your honesty but it gets hard with these type of misleading videos.
We all know that we can use the same story and change what the audience gonna believe in by just shaping our words. This video doesn't do this only, but also sharing wrong information very clearly to the people who knows, but the average people won't know.
It's just sad.
wich Information?
owww turk got sad
@@bishoo10he is Turk just making propaganda
after seeing this video, the first thing in my mind that I was understand what is happening in middle east that people say its just a conflict. but the reality its very complex and its related to anything, such as between saddam husain and kurds, turks and pkk, Iran and kurds, syria and kurds, that the reality its have a same problem like in my country Indonesia. which is OPM in Papua island is wanting their freedom in their land, but the government and I especially not agree with that. BUT, in this kurds case somehow I support kurds to fight for freedom over their land and get their own country, which is this is same like the conflict in Papua that I don't support and agree and its opposite with the kurds case that I don't. (pardon me if my English is bad pal, cause I'm still learning)
Most of the video is fiction
You didn’t talk about Kurds in armenia?!!!
What do you want from Armenia? Our country is small already, but you still draw lines on it?!
Propaganda. West wants to divide Turkey, Iraq, Syria, Azerbaijan and Iran. But not Armenia, I wonder why. 🤔
Kurds have a good relation and connection with armen people and no one is asking to take your land @ArtyomKalendji
The kurd in armenia are mostly ezidis who migrated there they are not native
Because there are no kurds in the current borders of Armenia, there are some Assyrians and Yazidis, no kurds. Armenians are not too fond of kurds because they were active participants in the Armenian genocide, and kurds also occupy Western Armenian territory and are now trying to claim it as kurdistan.
Such country didn't ever exist before, how come you say it was erased from history
And Iraq or Syria or Turkey. all this name are made by West after WW1. there were many empires in the region but not countrys. the west divided middel east and made many countrys
Interesting insight 👏👏👏
Will this video be on Nebula?
a very biased and highly distorted video
Someone should teach some people that principality and emirate are something separate from the country. Kurds have never established a country. Moreover, the Kurds had not been able to establish any state before the Turks came there. What could be the logic behind hiding your hostility towards Turks with double standards? Also, in which country in the world did a worker's party throw Molotov cocktails at your citizens and kill them in the squares with suicide bombers?
کوردستان❤❤❤
please create a video about the Assyrians.
Thanks Johnny for shedding light onto this matter.
FREEDOM KURDISTAN. FREE KURDİSH ✌
For more historical context with Turkey and Mustafa Kemal, the Kurds in fact supported him because at the time they were very religious and were duped into fighting for 'Islam' (the remnants of the ottoman caliphate) against the Christian Europeans when in reality they fought for a secular Turkish nation-state. So once they realized they had been tricked, they began rebelling against Turkey from the 1930s onwards. They missed out on a great deal to have their own country, had they worked together with the British+French and Armenians, so they dug themselves into a deep hole.
And how would they have been having their own land when they didn't get along with Armenians, Assyrians etc? Not to mention the Turkmen and Arabs in the area who they did get along with, were they supposed to kill them too for a country?
For more historical context, the Kurds are native to Southwest Iran, so if they want some land they can always talk to their ancestoral Iranian people and take a piece of Iran.
@@PekekeTerbiyecisi
What do you mean? When Turks established their nation-state, they forced assimilated everyone (Circassians, Abkhaz, Arabs, Kurds, Laz etc.), all groups which previously lived in their own communities with their own language during the Ottoman Empire. A Kurdish state wouldn't have been much different, it would have provided the majority population comprising Kurds their own nation-state to protect their language and cultural rights. Completely reasonable the Kurds, who are their own nation with a distinct language and history.
The Kurds are indigenous people, descendants of the Medians. Some specific areas like Van, was actually Armenian to begin with (Urartu civilization) so Kurds expanded overtime but have generally inhabited that region for millennia.
@@Ethan-qo9rx The Medes were an ancient Iranian people who primarily lived in the region known as Media, which was located in the northwestern part of ancient Iran. Media corresponds roughly to modern-day western Iran, rather than Turkey.

Like I said. Kurds have NEVER been indigenous to Turkish lands.
Turks are like Americans. If you live in Turkey you're a Turk. Turkic however is a different thing. Learn the difference.
Also during Ottoman times there was a language called Lisân-ı Osmânî, which basically means Ottoman language which was heavily influenced by turkish and borrowed some iranian, arabic words.
Do not spread misinformation. Learn some history read some books then come back.
Do you accept that Greeks and Romans invaded Kurdish land?
Thank You for providing the truth
greetings from the country that history forgot!
Thank you very much, Johnny.
classic american strategy. It prepares a so-called historical basis for ethnic groups to revolt in the places it chooses, promises to support the ethnic groups it arouses, and after the rebels revolt, it ignores them and collapses there. mr. johnny harris You are one of the key points of this work because you have undertaken the propaganda of historical basis. Nothing you say in the video has any source and it is clear that it is propaganda. Additionally, most of the Kurds living in Türkiye are known for their loyalty to Türkiye.

İ think all the Kurds leading their life in Anatolia should co- operate with the Turkish state without any objection , Their identity is going to be preserved even if They live together with The kurds . İn fact , Most of the Kurdish people are able to speak of their mother tongue without feeling any fear because The Turkish government doesn ‘t use force in order to discourage them from speaking in their own language. But They should be fluent in both Turkish and Kurdish because The official language in my country iş Turkish , so everbody should learn how to speak our official language. Please you all prefer to be in accordance with The Turkish state, otherwise some western forces keep weaponizing you as a paramilitery force.
My guy tells a story from another universe. Nicely funded video
I am a Kurdish person who grew up in Turkey. Turkey is a nationalist country, and any ethnicity perceived as different is often viewed as a threat to national unity. Since the division of the Ottoman Empire into multiple countries based on ethnicity, this fear has shaped the ideology of the modern Turkish state, leading to aggression and racism toward minorities. Kurds, in particular, have faced torture, oppression, and even killings simply for being different and for speaking their language. Unfortunately, the systematic assimilation of Kurds continues to this day.
To illustrate the impact of racism from my own experience: my family migrated from southeastern Turkey to the western part of the country due to economic and political pressures from the government aimed at forcing Kurdish people to mix with other ethnicities and assimilate. My parents only spoke Kurdish and didn’t know Turkish. Growing up in a predominantly Turkish city, I often felt like an outsider. I was aware of the discrimination from a young age, especially in neighborhoods and schools; by the age of 8 or 9, I was already experiencing the effects of racism. My parents were concerned for our safety and advised my siblings and me to hide our Kurdish identity from our friends. Whenever Turkish people learned we were from a Kurdish city, I could sense their prejudices and their efforts to distance themselves from us.
In summary, throughout my life-within school, my career, and social interactions-I have constantly encountered racism. Sadly, many Kurds have had similar experiences.
I am grateful to you my friend. This video is so valuable for our voice to be heard, I am grateful to you a thousand times 🙏🙏🙏

دوستان کرد من آگاه باشید غربی ها می خواهند با تجزیه کردن کشور های مناطق آنها را ضعیف کرده و تحت سلطه خود بیاورند.
اما با یک چیز مخالفم! باید کشور های ما یعنی ایران و ترکیه و .... مثلا ایالات متحده باشد یعنی هر منطقه و ملتی زبان خود را در یادگیری و .... استفاده کند. حکومت مرکزی ما یعنی (جمهوری اسلامی ایران) خودش یک حکومت تحت سلطه هست.

Love your content sir! ❤
One of the reasons why the imperalists (France and Britain) didnt make a Kurdistan like they made Syria, Iraq and Jordan and so on, is because they were afraid of the conservative and pracitising Kurdish Muslims who would held the uprise and keeping for an Ottoman Empire opposite of secular Kemal Ataturk and his likewise secular politicians who were against Ottoman, Kurds and Islamic influence. The Kurds were some of the most loyal Muslims who oppossed secularism and the imperalists didnt like this fact.. they afraid of a new Islamic empire in middle of Mesopotamia after the Ottoman fall
I was saying that for years.
Turks are having a country because English and French wanted to be sure that a caliphate will not be established again
