    Mustafa Kemal has absolutely nothing to do with any genocide when the whole thing occured under Ottoman Empire (specifically, under Enver Pasha’s command), CHP is one of the parties that rallied the protests against Erdogan, and want better laws for all sorts of people like lgbtq, immigrants and kurds.

    I personally disagree with giving more rights to immigrants and don’t like the idea of negotiations with terrorist organizations to divide the country, but am in favor of improving any citizen’s life overall regardless of their sex, religion or ethnicity.

      I’d suggest you open a history book not written by Turkish nationalists for once. I found this NPR episode on his involvement in the Armenian and Kurdish genocides enlightening: https://www.npr.org/2023/10/26/1198908163/the-three-faces-of-ataturk

      if you disagree with immigrants having human rights, that’s just fascism my friend.

      also you calling Kurds terrorists says a lot about how you’re actually just a genocide denier cosplaying as “just an average person without a political position”
