A few weeks ago, I spoke with two Kurdish students about their human rights in the region as well as the recent conflict that took place between PKK guerillas in Iraqi (Northern) Kurdistan and Turkey.

Unfortunately the sound quality wasn’t the best (though it gets better a few minutes into the podcast.)

Some highlights include:

  • A brief background about the conflict and why it took place, as well as the recent developments of it
  • Why many Kurds want their own state
  • How they are being treated throughout the region
  • “They [Kurds] want to be able to say they are Kurdish without feeling threatened.”

    • I did not include the interview with the second student because I felt that they both deserved their own separate podcasts.

    If you like this podcast and felt strongly about the cause, please read this post and help however you can.
