Why the hashtag #TurkeyInvadesKurdistan ?
Turks and kurds in a thread. What you should know as a foreigner:
Turkey is a country led by racist and fascist people, while we do not hate all turks, but the regime has educated the people in a way that majority of them despises kurds. Tweet "kurdistan" and you will see tons of turks swearing at you.
#TurkeyInvadesKurdistan
They have massacred and genocide many ethnicities, including Armenians and greeks not to mention kurds.

Then there is PKK, a group that tries ti save kurdistan with their AK47s and no support from any country. They fight for our rights. They are not terrorists. #TurkeyInvadesKurdistan and expects the people to bow for him?
No, we fight back until we get freedom.

Nelson Mandela was called a terrorist until he became the president of south africa then the world loved him.
The kurds in Syria were close to autonomy after they fought off ISIS and lost thousands of men, women and children, but turkey ruined it for us. Turkey bombed Kobani, the city that isis couldn't invade for months. They were the symbol of ISIS's defeat

#TurkeyInvadesKurdistan
Turkey invaded Afrin and all the borders of syria followed by a process of ethnic-cleansing against the kurds. The US was aware of this. Some senators passed some sanctions against turkey's invasions in the senate but it later died. @LindseyGrahamSC ?

#TurkeyInvadesKurdistan
Now turkey wants south kurdistan! They want to invade all kurdish lands and kill all the kurds. They have gradually done this and if the world doesn't stop them many genocides can happen in the near future.
