Ironically enough I believe the Kurdish irregulars acted for the Turks in the Armenian Genocide.

No, I do not believe in generational or collective guilt. I tend to like the Kurds as a general rule.

Still, it is ironic.

You are correct, but Kurds long ago admitted their involvement in that. Some actually tried to help the Armenians, Greeks and Alevi’s escape. If caught they were given the same treatment as the Armenians.

I’d have to look for it, but there is a timeline showing when the events took place (were many) and when the guilty admitted doing it. Turkey has NEVER admitted a single case.

This is exactly what we are seeing in Afrin, Syria now.

Our military are very very close to the Syrian Kurds in YPG/YPJ and the SDF. The trust factor is extremely high.

I know some history of the PKK. They are pretty widespread, even in Europe.

Many Turks claim Kurds are Turks, and that is why they suppress any attempts at self-determination. The Armenians were more clearly distinct and different from Turks.
