Google removes Kurdistan map after Turkish request. Well, here is an Ottoman map from Abdulhamid iI era recognising without hatred or preudjuce کردستان which is the Arabic for 'Kurdistan' You can change Google, you cannot change history.pic.twitter.com/zdytyAcngT
Turkish leadership claims to be reviving the Ottoman heritage and going against the Ismet Inonu legacy. Unfortunately, their mindset on Kurds and Kurdish is 100 per cent Inonu and ZERO per cent Ottoman. Ottomans were not afraid of names, peoples and differences.
The Old Turkey of Ataturk-Inonu was based on surprising Kurds & conservatives. Erdogan had the audacity to admit both. He should go above narrow electoral calculations. Alliance of a bigot like Bahceli is not worth it. Appeasing Turkish nationalists will not lead Turkey anywhere.
The Ottomans could rule three continents for hundreds of years because they were not narrow minded. They were not afraid of ethnic differences. They were not nervous to hear or name Kurdistan. There will be no New Turkey as long as its Kurdophobia is not overcome.
Actually, Ottoman maps have been the best pieces of evidence to prove Kurdishness of disputed areas. In 2006, Jalal Talabani used original Ottoman maps inside Iraqi Governance Council to prove Kirkuk's being part of Wilayah Kurdistan.

Here are both late President Talabani & President Tayyip Erdogan asking people who doubt the existence of Kurdistan to go back & review Ottoman records + records of first parliament (beginning of Ataturk's era)!: Talabani https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDwzytsUqFE … Erdoganhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cScvBNY3OwU …
What would Biled Al-Ajm be in modern day geography?
Traditionally, it was used to describe all non-Arab nations. In the Ottoman era, it was more specifically the Iranians/Persians. it is the modern day Iran.
But there is no ottoman empire on the Google map either
The Stamp reads 'The wilayats of the Ottoman empire in Asia 1892'
Might I also add one of my favourite maps, of Palestine, 1745? Just in case Google erases Gaza and the West Bank.pic.twitter.com/NTHJRch0dT
A nuanced, historically substantiated thread carefully and respectfully uniting both Turkish and Kurdish heritage while actively offering workable solutions to a highly controversial issue. Am I still on Twitter?
And as you can see mountainous range covered as Kurdistan in Ottoman map starts todays Iran soil ends at Jezeera Botan which is little north of todays Syrian-Turkish border which is a land majorly governed as Kurdish autonomous region today but Google map shows much bigger area+
+as Kurdistan and comply with PKK claims of Arabic and Turkish , Assyrians land to be Kurdistan. Kurdist fascists invaded, stolen enough land and these Zionist dogs cannot claim piece of shit to be of Kurds
And you can compare it with the so-called Kurdistan maps shared by Kurdish nationalists incl. you. The vilayet of Kürdistan in the Ottomans basically covers from today's Hakkari to Zaho and Suleymaniye! Not from Erzurum to Iskenderun! (In fact latter is just added for a sea exit)
It was never “Kurdistan” its called the Armenian Highlands. Learn history
So we are turks living in Armenian mountains, thanks.
At least the Ottoman was not ficrional like your Neverland .. uh sorry your Kurdtstam
