Since the very beginning of Operation Peace Spring against PKK-linked terror groups, 'Turks vs Kurds' propaganda has been circulated to hamper the gains of the anti-terror campaign

Of all "the incitement to discourse" since Operation Peace Spring began, the most blatant lie told publicly is that it is a war between Turks and Kurds. This argument is based either on sheer ignorance or it is a deliberate attempt at disinformation.

Turkey has a population of around 15 million Kurds who have the same civil rights as all other citizens. Turkey has had presidents and many ministers of Kurdish descent. The ruling Justice and Development Party (AK Party) wins the votes of at least half of Turkey's Kurdish citizens. There are over 100 AK Party deputies serving in the Turkish Parliament who are Kurdish.
