        I didn’t say it’s Turkish. I said it’s not Kurdish. Pls read the whole entry incl UN link. Btw, I’ve never seen banned Nevruz celebrations, have you? http://www.kultur.gov.tr/EN,98598/nevruz-celebrations-in-turkey-and-central-asia.html …

        defeating YPG = defeating crusaders this is probably what they meant with this.

        The irony is that Salaheddin Ayoubi is of Kurdish ethnicity but Turks probably don't know it. Even the most open of Turks can't call Said Kurdi as he calls himself and choose instead to go with Said Nursi🤔
