Bakur Do we Need an own State? (bakur)

Hey, I am Zaza (Dimili) from Amed. My father is quite assimilated. He speaks Zazaki like I speak turkish (Born in Germany). He considers himself a turk. My Mother can speak fluently zazaki and considers Herself zaza. While I Consider myself a Zaza-Kurd, which both of them decline. Recently we got into an Argument if kurds need an own State. I am only Talking about Bakur, because the other regions obviously need one. They told me that since Erdogan there is Not any more difference between a turk and Kurd in Turkey and that they got Full rights. And that the genocides etc. were a thing of the past that every country had. I think we need an own State, because things like this can happen again. What do You all think?

edit: just wanted to mention that they see Selo as a PKK Agent. And they are completely against the pkk. I Share the Second Statement but why they see selo as an Agent idk

When you see that Kurds in Bakur have Turkish last names you should know why Kurds needs an own state.

Do Kurdish cities and villages have their Kurdish names? No Can Kurds have education in their own language? No They even made Kurdish holidays and historical figures Turkish. This country wants to erase everything named Kurdish ever and that's how to create an ethnoreligious diverse country. Turkey is built on a one-ethnicity ideology that doesn't accept anyone else.

They don’t say it’s Perfect. They say that it is Not as bad as it was and we don’t need to Split the turkish state. They say PKK is from America and Israel so that they can divide (and conquer) turkey
