And how many of those "Turks" are actually Kurds? |

I am confused by God's wisdom: In this world of States Why have the Kurds remained Stateless, dispossessed, What for have they all become fugitives, condemned? Ahmad Khani Feed the hungry and visit a sick person And free the captive If he be unjustly confined Assist any person oppressed Whether Muslim or non-Muslim - Prophet Muhammad Ibn Abdullah (PBUH) | |

There are lots of Rojavayis living in Turkish cities like Konya and Istanbul... Imagine how the racist turks look down upon them. Must be horrible. |
