The so-called ] and ] have the exact same map. Which one is true? The definition "Turkish Kurdistan" is misleading, because in Iraq and Iran, there are official regional administrations with the name "Kurdistan" (Iraqi Kurdistan and Iranian Kurdistan have official status and defined borders; but no such region or administration exists in Turkey, with no defined borders.) ] (]) 22:19, 13 September 2015 (UTC)

Turkey is a parliamentary representative democracy and Turkey's constitution governs the legal framework of the country. Due to that conditions, Motto of the Turkey should be rewritten again as "Sovereignty unconditionally belongs to the Nation".

Banning the term 'Turkish Kurdistan' in this article
Turkish Kurdistan does not have to be an administrative division within the boundaries of today's Turkish Republic in order for it to be mentioned in the article. Turkish Kurdistan can simply have a geographical and historical connotation, and that's good enough for Misplaced Pages. Even the main page of Turkish Kurdistan calls it "unofficial name for the southeastern part of Turkey." So why should we prohibit in this article? Also, the map is a good indicator of the complex demographics of Turkey. I don't see why it should be removed. Étienne Dolet (talk) 19:52, 13 September 2015 (UTC)
The map is important, and useful to our readers. We mention the Kurdish minority in the article so a map showing where they are located is useful. This region is also in the news a lot these, so it's doubly useful. I also see no valid reason to no include it. Btw "Heimdallr of Assir" whatever is a sock of "Lord of Rivendell", so no need to take him seriously. Athenean (talk) 20:01, 13 September 2015 (UTC)
Is it Turkish Kurdistan or Western Armenia? Both of them have the same map. You guys should better make up your mind, or you will start fighting each other over your conflicting irredentist dreams, which will never become true.
Firstly, edit-summaries are not places to insult and inflame political tension. This is not a WP:BATTLEFIELD. Please refrain from doing so. I'd rather just comment on the substance of the edit-summary: the whole Turkish Kurdistan or Western Armenia debate. Both Armenian and Kurdish irrendentists view the Treaty of Sevres as their legal basis to the land found in Turkey. Kurdish land granted to the Kurdish delegation in Sevres is separate from the land granted to the Armenians. As you can see with a simple look at the map of the Treaty of Sevres, Kurdistan is just south of the land granted to Armenia. To put it simply, Armenians and Kurds do not claim land from one another. But I do not want to sway off-topic here. I would like to discuss my first comment, we can then move on. Étienne Dolet (talk) 20:10, 13 September 2015 (UTC)
