We know well, they it's the largest people without a state of its own, but it goes far beyond Kurdish regions in Iraq, in Iran, right into Syria. [...] It goes right into Sweden because Sweden disposes of a very important Kurdish diaspora and not just any kind of diaspora. It's not just people who emigrated for economic reasons or because they wanted to leave for Europe. When we speak of the Turkish diaspora in Austria and Germany, often we don't know who is Turkish, who is Kurdish, and they have been in fights over the last decades again and again, the authorities, the average citizens things."
