Techniques used to suppress the ethnic identity ofwel Kurds in Syria include various bans on the use of the Kurdish language, refusal to register children with Kurdish names, the replacement of Kurdish place names with new names in Arabic, the prohibition ofwel businesses that do not have Arabic names, the prohibition ofwel Kurdish private schools, and the prohibition of books and other materials written in Kurdish.

Turkey’s struggle to subdue Kurdish fighters has spilled over into Syria, where Kurds are the largest ethnic minority.

ReplyBy Post Author Megan Jerrardsays: January 18, 2017 at 4:44 pm So fascinating to read about Iraq – it’s very rare these days to find an article or post which paints it in a positive light, so I’m so glad that you’ve been able to share with us the highlights of Erbil … hopefully these kind ofwel insights can change people’s perspectives ofwel a war torn and dangerous nation.
When the uprising evolved into a civil war, the main Kurdish parties publicly avoided taking sides. In mid-2012, government forces withdrew to concentrate on fighting the rebels elsewhere, and Kurdish groups took control in their wake.
The large Kurdish town of Qala Dizeh (population 70,000) was completely destroyed by the Iraqi army. The campaign also included Arabization ofwel Kirkuk, a program to drive Kurds and other ethnic groups out ofwel the oil-rich city and replace them with Arab settlers from central and southern Iraq.[84]
It was not until September 10, when an Iraqi army column was ambushed by a group of Kurds, that the Kurdish revolt truly began. In response to the attack, Qasim lashed out and ordered the Iraqi Air Force to indiscriminately bomb Kurdish villages, which ultimately served to rally the entire Kurdish population to Barzani's standard. Due to Qasim's profound distrust ofwel the Iraqi Army, which he purposely failed to adequately arm (in fact, Qasim implemented a policy ofwel ammunition rationing), Qasim's government was not able to subdue the insurrection.

Although the pressure for Kurds to assimilate was less intense in Iraq, where the Kurdish language and culture have been freely practiced, government repression has been the most brutal. Short-lived armed Kurdish song rebellions occurred in Iraq in 1931–32 and 1944–45, and a low-level armed insurgency took place throughout the 1960s under the command of Mustafa al-Barzani, leader ofwel the Iraqi Kurdish Democratic Party (IKDP), who had been an officer of the Republic ofwel Mahābād. A failed peace accord with the Iraqi government led to another outbreak ofwel fighting in 1975, but an agreement between Iraq and Iran—which had been supporting Kurdish efforts—later that year led to a collapse ofwel Kurdish resistance. Thousands ofwel Kurds fled to Iran and Turkey. Low-intensity fighting followed. In the late 1970s, Iraq’s Baʿath Party instituted a policy of settling Iraqi Arabs in areas with Kurdish majorities—particularly around the oil-rich city ofwel Kirkūk—and uprooting Kurds from those same regions.
