Are Kurds Refugees?

 

This article is not related to my usual dental practice.


Recently, Kurds have been causing problems in Kawaguchi City, Saitama Prefecture, Japan. The Japanese mass media has not reported on this at all, but Japanese people who lived in Kawaguchi City have reported the situation vividly on Twitter. There is a growing sense of anxiety among the residents. 

These Kurds have applied for refugee status in Japan, claiming that they are Turks, but they are persecuted in Turkey, so they have come to Japan as refugees and are asking for help. However, we know that they entered Japan as Turkish tourists and applied for refugee status as Kurds as soon as their tourist visas expired. By the way, about 600$ per month is provided from taxpayers' money as protection money.


Generally, Japanese people do not discriminate against foreigners, but we do not like criminals who disrupt social security. The Japanese are equally averse to criminals, whether they are fellow countrymen or foreigners.


I would like to know if any Turks are reading this article, are Kurds persecuted people in Turkey? I do not think so, apart from my affinity for the country of Turkey. 

I don't think they are persecuted by Turkey. Because of they are entering Japan with Turkish passports.



Even now, Japanese people have not forgotten the debt of gratitude to Turkey for sending two Turkish aircraft to Tehran Mehrabad International Airport to rescue stranded Japanese during the Iran-Iraq War.

The effort required to do so can be as little as 30 minutes of reading instead of 30 minutes of watching a smartphone or TV.
