Kürt Hareketi (Kurdish Movement)
The Kurdish Movement refers to the political and social efforts of the Kurdish people, an ethnic group primarily found in Turkey, Iraq, Iran, and Syria, to gain recognition of their cultural rights, autonomy, or independence. This movement has emerged in response to historical marginalization and oppression faced by Kurds in these countries. It encompasses various groups and political parties, with influences ranging from peaceful advocacy for cultural rights to armed resistance against state forces. The movement's primary goals include self-determination, linguistic and cultural preservation, and greater political representation. It has significant implications for regional stability and international relations.
