'Greater Kurdistan': The history of Kurdish independence | Dr Zeynep Kaya | The Big Picture EP10 |

Proud to be Devil Worshipper Jinn ❤🌞💚

BALOCHS THINK BALOCH AND KURDS ARE ONE ORIGIN. SOME BALOCH HISTORIAN BY HISTORY BOOK KURDGALNAK SHOW BALOCHS ARE KURDS AND BY SHOWING THEM ON CAP OF KURDISH LASHKAR KALGHI WHICH CALLS IN PERSIAN BALOCH AND THEN THE CALLS BALOCH.BUT BALOCHS AND KURDS HAVE ANCIENT HISTORY

Ireland sympathise with you. Specially those native Irish abandoned in the north

Excellent analysis of the middle East.

The EU process could transform the Turkish state from brutality into democratic evolution what could be supportive manifesto that solve the Kurdish question within the Turkey. Despite the high level support from Turkish citizen (%90) for EU membership Turkey shifted its own geopolitical strategy against Kurds rather than “ win win” opportunities… ( Bilhan Tuncel )

The peace talks misused by the Turkish state target to marginalize the Kurdish community political, cultural and linguistic demands. Under the shadow government attempts to negotiate the peace the deep state organized for the aggressive operations at the same time. Without any guarantor international assistance the Kurds slammed on the face what caused unrest… ( Bilhan Tuncel )

The unsolved Kurdish question is an international complexity question. In terms of territorial sovereignty and geopolitical stability Kurdish question again an international question. Without international legitimacy and support Kurds will keep suffering under the military weight of the regional powers. ( Bilhan Tuncel )

Thanks a lot for both of you ❤❤❤

Are you even sure all Kurds want "independence"? When we say independence we are basically talking about giving power to parties that cannot solve their slightest inner problems without exchanging bullets.

Even this program is about Kurds I feel mentioned when the topic chances in the direction of Turkey.
To call this land Turkiye tens of million Turks had fought and died.
So there a red line wich dream by blood not words.

Nie rozumiem,,ni w ząb,, jezyka Kurdów.
Nie znam kuramandżi,somani,ani innego.
Jednak mówię,,support,,dla wolności Kurdów i plemion wokół niech!❤

RIP CEYLAN OZALP ,SIS!.

1. Corrections:
Claiming to be original to a whole geography and being nowadays dominant in certain areas do not make Kurdish communities indigenous to the whole geography. Precision is important! The speech around 7” is prejudicial to indigenous communities such as Assyrians.

i am he too read angry turkish comments.... they come off very passive aggressive :3 .
all love to my turkish brothers this is a joke .

Thanks for sharing and your clear explanations - great questions too!

As long as Kurds work for European colonial imperialists, I am against any Kurdish independent state! Kurds will live as equal human beings in the existing states.

Don't know about West Asia, surely you mean North West Asia 😊😊😊

As a Kurd I’d Say this video was an amazing explanation on the Kurdish people.

We are one as one ummah, period! Arab, non arab,black, white, whatever you are if you're Muslim you're my brother.

BIJI AZADI..BIJI KURDISTAN..BIJI SEROK APO...

Kurds are an Iranian people. In my opinion they were slaves of Persia, from different regions, and were not viewed as normal citizens. As the hold of Persians weakened, they took refuge in the mountains. There are different Kurdish groups with different labels, but there is no much affinity between them, other that the proximity of their language to Persian. The areas they currently inhabit were a buffer zone between Rome and Persia. As the Romans prevailed over this area, they wiped out any trace of Persian rule including people. When Arabs, and later Turks took over these areas, there was no evidence of any Kurds in the region. Even the word Kurd is a late entrant into Arabic vocabulary., around 500-600 CE. Their migration out of Zagros region was due to ascent of Shia in Iran and the pressure Safavi placed on them to convert. Ottomans gave them asylum, from 1500CE on. So they are not the natives of the region in any sense.
In order to satisfy their demands, ethnic cleansing is needed. No body in its right mind will allow that.
They need to accept and learn to live with their neighbors peacefully.

The Brits wanted to turn Iraq into a big farm, and wanted to use the Kurds as slave labor. They forced some
from Iran to move to Iraq for this purpose. They underestimated their resistance. Anyway, that is why there
two dominant groups in Iraq who can not get along. They were planning to import also from Turkiye, but the
rise of Hitler, derailed their plans. Bedirhans the speaker mentions are actually Arab, had no Kurdish agenda.

The real political driver behind Kurdish movements is Israel. I find it very amusing that these folks never
mention the Brits, the US and Israel and the role they play in these issues. Some people think that
there is a Turkish problem here and they need to packed and send back to Mongolia.

All talks from Dr Zeynep Kaya start with it depends it depends it depens. Funny. İf it all depends. That means nothing will happen

Kurdistan is composed of four parts. Southern Kurdistan, Northern Kurdistan, Southwestern Kurdistan, Eastern Kurdistan and Central Kurdistan are Mesopotamia. Kurdistan city Mosul is Mesopotamia capital.

Thank you so much!

It is very interesting that there is no mention in the video of how and on what date the Kurdish lands were occupied by whom. Since when were the Kurds taken captive, they need to be independent. This issue was never mentioned. As long as these questions are not asked and answered, this term of Kurdish independence will never be anything more than a fabrication of western imperialism.

The West is ruling the Muslim world today through the principle of 'divide and rule', creating narrow nationalism in the Muslim world. Even though America, China, India are inhabited by many races, we do not see such narrow nationalist movements in those countries. From this, the Muslim world needs to avoid this kind of narrow minded approach to education.

But why do they only want a part of Turkiye?! Come on! The ottoman empire has already given so much to everyone. Why doesnt Iraq want to give a part to them, or Syria! No only Turkiye 🤦🏽‍♀️

I am Oromo love KURDISTAN

Biji Kurdistan ❤☀💚

Orta Doğu'da Barbarlar dolu Saddam gibileri Zebani sürüler.

Im kurdis Love kurdistan 2+2=1💚🌝❤✌💪✊🌍🔥

agressive irredentist ethnofascism but no demographic and actual power. Only an artificial and provoked negative nationalism. Even after 30 years of work to unite ethnic Kirmanchi and ethnic Sorani in North Iraq this still not possible ! Why ? in reality these 2 groups are 2 seperate language speaking different groups and its an artificial project. Taking Turks's land is much more than impossible. Drawing illusionic maps is just laughable. There is no such existence.

Long live kurdistan long live kurds

this is garbage. she compeletely misrepresented the kurdish question humanely, politically and historically. shame on her! she shouldn't speak about kurdistan again ever!

As a Turk, I want to see a Independent Kurdistan

Kurdistan is going to be the new Phalestine. That is all!

All the love and respect from southern Iraq to the Kurds and Kurdistan
biji kurd ve kurdistan ☀️❤️🇮🇶

They groomed her well.
