  1.  @utvara1  Bullshit. You think Iraqis want it? You think Iranians want it? The Syrians too? No one wants to see something like that. It will create another Israel-Palestine situation in the region. The YPG has ethnically cleansed entire Arab villages. Look it up.

  2.  @utvara1  You are very misinformed. Iraq already took back all the major cities and oil-fields that the Iraqi Kurds seized. Turkish as well as Iranian Kurds are quite well-assimilated and both groups proudly identify as Turks and Iranians respectively. Not to mention, even if there was a Kurdistan, it would be a landlocked country. All of its neighbors will starve it first if they don't militarily destroy it first. And where did you get your statistic that the whole world wants a Kurdistan? Provide your source. You think Russia wants a Kurdistan? China wants a Kurdistan? Japan wants a Kurdistan? Literally nobody except the utterly gullible in the west want that.

  3. @Fat Earther Turkey has the most Kurds in the region and all of them are quite well assimilated. Same thing with Iranian Kurds. The YPG is made up of 20-30 thousand armed to the teeth militias. They, in no way whatsoever, represent the vast majority of Kurds in the world. Also, Kurds were a nomadic people. They never had any ancestral land to begin with. The word "Kurd" literally means "nomadic" in Iranian. Not to mention they don't have the right to take land for any sovereign nation be it Syria or Iraq or any other country as the land they want is not only inhabited by Kurds but also by Arabs, Turkmen and other minority groups.

  4. They want to create another Israel-Palestine situation in the region. I wonder why Caspian Report didn't mention that the SDF(YPG) ethnically cleansed entire Arab villages in their controlled part of Syria.

  5.  @N3XYF  Turkey may not be your ideal democracy but it's not your totalitarian autocracy either as you describe it. Each time the Turkish army has fended of Turkey's enemies, they have always returned the power back to the people. The Turks have strong nationalism running through their veins. They were one of the greatest empires in history after all. Kemalism in ingrained into the Turkish constitution. The Turks would never allow their country to steer towards totalitarianism. Erdogan is only in power because the Turkish people want him in power. You have no idea about Turkey's internal politics.

  6. The YPG has ethnically cleansed entire Arab villages in their controlled part of Syria. They are not angels either. Not to mention that land doesn't solely belong to the Kurds. It is also shared by Arabs.

  7. Well made video but why didn't you mention that the Kurdish YPG has ethnically cleansed entire Arab and Turkmen villages in their controlled part of Syria?

  8.  @N3XYF  Turkey is democratic. they have free elections. The Turkish people themselves elected the current government.

  9.  @N3XYF  Turkey's elections are free and fair. that is how Erdogan lost some of the major cities. What you claim is not a fact but your own personal opinion.

  10.  @jascrandom9855  The video's title is literally says "Syrian conflict" and you think the Kurds committing war-crimes under the supervision of the US has nothing to do with it?

  11.  @TheReaper569  I'm not offended. It's just that I wonder what kind of mentality a person like you would have to express your discontent in fighting terrorists that have killed more than 30,000 of your own people over the years.

  12.  @TheReaper569  Well, let me tell you what the political implications are then. If Turkey fails to create a safe-zone, hundreds of more cross-border terror attacks will soon follow as have been the case in the past. That safe zone will allow Syria refugees to return and if they don't then the long term effects of accepting such a large number of people will be quite significant on the Turkish economy. Not creating that safe zone will allow Russia to expand its influence further in Syria more than it already has and Russia and Turkey aren't exactly allies. You know, Turkey being a NATO member and all. And these are just the tip of the iceberg.

  13.  @jascrandom9855  You forget that all those events are related. If the Kurish YPG were anything but terrorists the Turkey would never have the need to create a safe zone in the first place. The YPG is a terror group and hence they commit war-crimes and because of that Turkey wants to protect it's people by creating a safe zone along its border.

  14.  @jascrandom9855  THE PKK and YPG have killed more than 30,000 people in Turkey over the years. They literally want to steal land from Turkey in order to make their fantasy land. Turkey itself has the most number of Kurds in the region, all of which are quite well assimilated. Just like Iranian Kurds are. The YPG is a single terror group made up of 20-30 thousand armed to the teeth extremists that don't represent the Kurdish people whatsoever. They also act as a US proxy in the region. There is literally no Kurdistan in existence. Nor has there ever been. Kurds are a nomadic people. The word "Kurd" literally means "nomadic" in Iranian. They have no ancestral land.

  16. More than 30,000 people in Turkey have been killed by PKK terror attacks. Look it up.

  17. You speak of Turkey as if you're not even a citizen of the country.

  18.  @N3XYF  Ahh... Wikipedia... The most reliable and legit source of information in the world. How do you explain the reality on the ground? During the coup in 2016, the Turkish people literally came out and prevented it in support of Erdogan. I agree that he has tightened his grip on power since then but recently, he lost his parliamentary majority. he also lost some of the major cities. How do you explain that? You think that's possible in an autocratic country?

  19.  @TheReaper569  The problem with that is, Turkey has already succeeded in another operation of the same caliber in Syria before. Back when they took Afrin during operation Olive Branch, both the Syrian Government and and SDF joined hands but Turkey still won. Are you seriously questioning Turkey's military capabilities while being Turkish yourself? You of all people should know better that Turkey has the second largest and most sophisticated army in NATO. They have weapons from both Russian and NATO. they also have their own homegrown ones as well to fill in the gaps. How do you think they were able to liberate Northern Cyprus with ease? I'm seriously having doubts over your claims of you being Turkish.

  20.  @TheReaper569  Just because the US lost in Vietnam, Turkey will lose Syria? Just because the US in losing in Afghanistan, Turkey will loose in Syria? What kind of logic is that? We are talking about completely different conflicts in completely different environments under completely different circumstances here. The war is Vietnam was literally a war for survival for the Vietnamese. Same in Afghanistan. There is little that can stop a man when he's fighting for survival. Both are classic examples of war of attrition. The conflict in Syria is nothing like that. Turkey hasn't declared war on Syria. They've engaged in a limited military operation and their objective is to go 30km deep to secure the border and border alone. They will not go any further than that. The Kurdish YPG is not fighting for survival. They are fighting to create their fantasy land. Assad isn't fighting for survival either as Russian political and military backing as well as backing at the UN has established his position quite firmly. Literally nothing you said makes any sense and they are not based on facts but rather your uninformed and biased opinion.

  21.  @TheReaper569  >"logic is blind faith" wat?
    2
  22.  @Isacc142  Seriously? They have literally mowed down Arabs that held up pictures of Assad, wanting him back. The land that they control isn't solely inhabited by Kurds. They are also inhabited by Arabs, Turkmen and a lot of other minority groups so naturally they didn't like the YPG governing them and smuggling Syrian oil away into Israel. Also, I don't think your link is valid. It takes me nowhere. And using different names will not absolve those terrorists of their war-crimes. The SDF is literally YPG, the Syrian Branch OF PKK, which is a designated terror group not only by Turkey but also by the USA, the UN and the EU.

  23.  @laustudie  How?

  24.  @TheReaper569  Instead of using "we" as anybody would, you use the word Turkey as if it's some distant other country.

  26.  @jascrandom9855  Bullshit. Are you trying to mold history to your personal world-view? Disregarding facts as nothing? No part of the Middle-East was ever in history, was called "Kurdistan" Syria on the other hand was first used by the Romans. "Nearly all nations at some point in time were fantasy lands" No they weren't. At least not all of them. Most of the major countries today have hundreds of years of history and culture behind them. A so called potential "Kurdistan" has none of that. They don't even speak the same langue and even those that do have different dialects. Also, 98.6% of Kurds identify as Sunni Muslims and 2% identify as Shia Muslims. The same as everyone else in the region. And the reason you sited for the conflict in not even the real reason to begin with. the conflict started because US wanted Assad toppled. And the current conflict is just an armed terrorist groups called the YPG trying to attack and steal land from surrounding nations. Just like ISIS.

  27. @Fat Earther My bad. Should've been more specific. It's Central Kurdish as spoken in Western Iran.
