Why are you disillusioned? I am a former journalist and share your concern, but I would love to hear your thoughts on the sources of this crisis.

I live in a Turkish neighborhood in Amsterdam, and closely follow Turkish politics. With Erdogan in power everything seems so dark. In young Turkish people here I either see resignation about the future of Turkey or nationalistic fervour loving Erdogan. My Kurdish Rojava solidarity poster in my window was met with such hostility that Dutch police parked a van in front of my house and had to disperse people. Objects were thrown etc.

What are your thoughts on Turkey? Nationally and internationally?

Both Iran and Russia want them to return Afrin to Syria. What do you think will happen?

I follow news about Kurdish people. Did you ever visit the YPG in Syria? What were your impressions?

What are your strongest memories of spending time with PKK youth?

Thanks for the reply. Yes, please do take the time to record your experiences. It will remember the people who died, and help others understand what the Kurds go through.
