I may have less money than you (for arguments sake - in reality you are a 16 year old bull crap artist and don't think people can't see through it) - but I, at least, have THE TRUTH on my side.
I love the irony of a nationalist Turk criticizing someone for not condemning genocide strongly enough :thup: I cba to read the other thread again, but I presume this fella claims hundreds of thousands of Armenians just died from natural causes within a short period of time?

I profoundly disagree with that idea.
They can do it the hard way like we did, or they can suck it up and deal with it.
That is unless you'd see no problem if regions or cities in England decided to up and declare themselves autonomous for whatever reason.

Yeah tbf, this idea of finneys smacks of tribalism, which is a problem we fought hard to extinguish as a civilization

That's because they are OPPRESSED by the EVIL TURKISH government who are under the influence of RABID MUSLIMS like Jasari. Atatürk would have given the Kurds their FREEDOM long ago!

To qualify for self-determination, you need to be a region that can be self-sufficient, ie. not Kosovo, and to show that your culture is at least fairly different to the country you want to succeed from.
I think the Kurds qualify, and they have been fighting for it, the American Government has labelled them terrorists as they want to keep the Turks friendly, and the Turks have beaten down the Kurds horribly for uprising.
