Nationalism and secularism

RE: Nationalism and secularism
Mehmet Wrote:For Kurdish independence I can say as much as this: I would not oppose their national independence if it did not conflict with out national goals.
However, I know that their independence is for now, not possible.

How does Kurdish independence conflict with Turkish goals?

Mehmet Wrote:If they seek independence outside of the borders of what I consider to be a part of the lands of Turan, I would not oppose them, but supporting them would certainly put me at odds with someone else.

Turan is basically Central Asia. Central Asia does not contain Kurdistan, and neither does Anatolia.

Supporting them may put you at odds with someone else, but not supporting them makes you a hypocrite.
