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.

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”

  I’m not calling Kurds terrorists. I’m calling seperatist groups like PKK terrorists. Any Kurd citizen living in Turkey is more than welcome to voice their opinions, which they do via own political party (which holds third to fourth place in most polls conducted recently.), I believe they’re trying to negotiate a peace deal without dividing the country. There are certainly things I disagree with their methods, but peace will be better than war overall.
  
  I am not against immigrants themselves having basic rights, but I don’t see the point in giving them extra benefits, life is sink or swim anywhere. Why does my taxes fund immigrants who have made 9 kids they know they cant afford to get extra funding from the government? Why people who cannot read Turkish at all are appointed citizenship to vote to see who governs my country? Fuck that.
