There are thousands of Kurdish refugees in Norway, ask any of them and they will say they fled Turkey because Turkish government tried to kill them for being Kurds. Im not playing any card against Turkey, I know the story.
The city I am originally from is used to be Turk majority with Assyrians as the second largest minority and with Bahai, Jewish minorities, and a small Kurdish minority residing in the mountains.
Most Assyrians moved to USA in the 1800s, some thousands still remain and probably some hundred jews. During the last 20 years the Kurdish population hav become significantly more, partly because they each breed 5-7 children while Turks have 1-2 children each. And partly because Kurds from all over Iran move to our city that is rapidly growing and expanding.
The city traditionally only consisted of big houses and villas, the first apartment were built in the 1980s. After the population increase, the mayor started to expand the city into the mountains, price of land in the mountains skyrocketed. And fortunately for the Kurds, they owned all the land in the mountains. They sold the lands, became rich and moved in to the city. Many Kurds also profit from smuggling narcotics. Now they own most businesses in the city. Almost all the restaurants, the shopping centers, they are much richer than Turks, drive the most expensive cars and own almost everything. This made it a very attractive destination for Kurds from all over Iran who started to move into the city.
Why am I telling you this? Because despite everything I told you, despite the fact that they have come and taken our land, they are richer and live better than most Turks, enjoy the same freedom (They walk around in their own traditional clothes, speak their language, use their flag, have Kurdish tv channels, radio etc) When they come to Europe, they say Turks stole our land, and accuse us for persecuting them and killing them for being Kurds.
Same shit in Syria.
