The Kurds in Rojave / Syria have created a system where each group is represented democractically. Arab zones, christian zones etc control their zones, they have councils and etc.. They are more democratic then Turkey and yes they follow the teachings of PKK imprisoned leader Ocalan but his philosophies have changed from direct warfare/communism to eco democracy.. feminism etc.. people are not educated to what is really going on and only listening to the falsification of what Turkey is manipulating that the Kurds are terrorist.. they actually want peace and this needs to be addressed. we all know that there is a difference between freedom fighters, islamic fighters and state terroism. this has to be evaluated and assesed by a world body and see what the true solutions are and not this bullshit false campaign that Turkey is playing with everyone. They do not have a democracy, they have stated they will fight everyone, they will send ISIS terrorist to other countries. They literally have ISIS in their proxy FSA militias??? this all can be ended if we educate the populace more and encourage Turkey to go back to its equal representative democracy. they are the problem for the Kurds.. The kurds want peace, they want their language, they want to control their destiny.. Is this not what out colonist forefathers wanted.. we should know better... we can not abandon the Kurds..we are responsible if Genocide hits that world again.. mark my words..

Let's see, we can't pull out of Iraq else the whackos take over there; we can't pull out of Afgan else the Taliban-types take over there and now we are likewise stuck in Syria, not wanting ISIS to raise their ugly heads again. Disregard what Syria is doing to their own people at the same time, that is another line in the sand. Soon we will be invested in various parts of darkest Africa to keep things from getting out of hand. (read Niger). If only these various fledgling 'democracies' would gain some popularity and be able to stand on their own against internal forces which want to keep them in the dark ages. Doesn't look like it's gonna happen too soon.

Study the history of that part of the world since WW1! Study the Armenian Genocide, study how the Kurds were promised a state by the US in WW1, study how Turkey has been destroying villages for decades.. same vibes that Saddam Hussein pushed.. Kurds are strong people as they have endored so much. One reporter I read a book on talked about how she visited Kurds in Turkey and they had pictures of Native Americans. They felt very connected to our own native peoples hardships. Kurds do not hate! They love their own people .. no mater if your Jewish, Christian, yezidi, atheist or Muslim. They are more focused at reforms towards their women then any group in Middle East. Israel is allied with them.. Turkey is afraid of loosing 1/3 of their country which is mostly Kurds.. so they rather go to war then work for Peace. Erdogan their president is a gangster and all he is doing is inflicting more hate.. anyone who speaks up against him in Turkey goes to jail or killed.. that’s not democracy.. they should not be part of NATO

PFC (Join to see) - They want to do to the Kurds what they did to the Albania Christians a century ago. The term "final solution" comes to mind
