Far-right Turkish politician visiting the Kurdish part of Turkey speaks to a Kurdish shop owner, the shop owner simply says *”We are denied our mother tongue and our identities. The existence of Kurdistan is denied. We are against that”* while standing in his shop… Turkish police later arrest him, [Here’s a video](https://www.reddit.com/r/kurdistan/comments/qif5k5/kurdish_shop_owner_was_telling_the_leader_of/) of the police raiding his home, accused of “disseminating terrorist propaganda”.

57+ comments and only 10 upvotes.. It’s obvious that this has been brigaded by turks, instead of upvoting and having a supposed opinion about this story, you can see the crass and racist things they say. It’s proof that it’s not just the turkish regime, it’s the racist nature and majority of them support this regimes acts on Kurds.
To those turks, I say instead of downvoting it because it shows turkey in a bad light, you should be saying why is a man being arrested for expressing his views. You people are hypocrites as you lurk here but claim you don’t want to be in europe lol, most likely though it’s been linked in and brigaded (which is reddit violation).
Well , There is a Kurdistan in Iraq. He can go live there.

He was [released](https://twitter.com/karwanfaidhidri/status/1454147675381813252?s=21) later, when he did an interview not only speaking Kurdish, but saying “biji Kurdistan” and the whole lot.
But you know, gotta maintain that “hur dur Turkey kills kurds for speaking Kurdish” narrative somehow 😀
idk about the others, but there is no place called kurdistan in turkey, if he wants to, he can go to his friends in the mountains
Based but they probably released him.
What happened to that catalan president guy in Spain again? Sub being hypocritical again?
No country in the world allows seperatism.

Fascist Turkish state doesn’t allow seperatism and support for a suicide bomber drug cartel /s
