This is significant. For the past a few years Ankara was comparatively silent about China’s mistreatment against Uyghurs. Turkish Foreign Ministry statement references overwhelming outcry in Turkish public about the situation

Systematic assimilation policy ? Ohh gosh ! Turkey is a master of such policy that has been applying on Kurds since the foundation of TR. I wonder how China will react.
-
There's a big difference. Turks came to the Anatolia 1000 years ago. at that time there was Byzantine here. Turks fought against Byzantines and got the lands. Since then Turks are ruling these lands and if Turks were enemy of the Kurds they could wipe them out, it's 1000 years !
-
Instead of wiping out the Kurds, Turks lived together with them even Kurds got populated and spreaded around and even some Turkish tribes started to speak Kurdish and became Kurdish. But China invaded East Turkistan in 1886. Then they got defeated but came back in 1949. So...
-
Kurds who have been living on this piece of earth since immemorial times are grateful to their Turkish brothers for not having been swept by them. A bless by invading Turks really. A privilege indeed
