Tunceli Province

I'm Alevi and Kurdish.

I'm from Dersim, and I've been living in US for a while, and I studied, like, mainly, like, political science.

That's the, my main, you know, major.

And then my thesis was, like, about, like, Ottoman era on the, like, their union organizations and the early republic times.

In Turkey is the same way.

You know, during the Ataturk time, there was like, there were, like, a few different massacres and genocide.

Even before Ataturk, the Armenian genocide, there was Dersim, there was Zilan and Agiri.

And the reason the, all the Western countries were looking away from all this genocide and, you know, like, all kind, like, human catastrophe, the main reason, the, the British Empire didn't wanna, like, lose the India to the Russia because, like, all their fear was, like, Russia wanna, like, go to the, their southern border and reach out to, like, warm weather, water also.
