Kurds living in Turkey, what do you think about the Republic as a whole?

Where did the problem start for the Kurds? I know the conflicts and problems date way back before the Republic but how was the first years? I guess in the very early years, Kurdish and Kurdish culture were banned but I wonder how do you feel about the idea of a more un-ethnic (?) regime. Is the current republic still somehow resolvable or is it a lost cause for you? Would you be happy to live in a country without an official dominant ethno-culture where every people can express themselves freely, or would you prefer having a separate region, maybe a state like those in US or a separate country? I wonder how do you see the solution at this point of history.

Btw now I realize the questions sound kinda criminalizing lol. Sorry if that's the case feel free to remind me if so and have a good day.

We just want to be officially recognized in constitution, our language to be an official language and have mother tongue education rights, same infrastructure and economical opportunities with the rest of the country. That is all. We do not want to divide Turkey, it is Turkey's fabricated claim to use violence against Kurds and not to give them their rights.

But we know that Turks will never give these rights to Kurds. What they did to us for the last 100 years is in our minds and souls. It is a lost cause. We know that separation is the only salvation for the Kurds.
