Their beef is real (kurds in Turkey attempting to carve out territory from Turkey to form Kurdistan). The Turks' beef is real, but the Kurds' beef is real too. The Turkish history with the Kurds is terrible to this day. For years, they refused to even acknowledge that Kurds existed - they called them "Mountain Turks" instead. They refused to let them speak their own language and generally treated them as third class citizens. This is still true. Read Michael Yon's journal of traveling through war-blasted Turkish Kurdistan into the modern prosperity of Iraqi Kurdistan. The Turk's treatment of all the minority populations of Anatolia (all of whom were there thousands of years before the Turks) has been one of subjugation, ethnic cleansing and genocide.
