Yeah,i dont get the Druze part?
Why the hell would the join the PKK,for what reason or goal?

Because these are minorities... Minorities usually behave this way; this is not a new anomaly in the political history of mankind. The least represented in a country shout the loudest. Furthermore, the Jews (Druze) are not exactly high on the popularity scale when it comes to choosing their allies. Therefore, they take the bloc that is closest to them.

See India -> Armenia -> Greece/Cyprus -> Israel. The Indians have zero cultural points in common with these countries, let alone any form of religion.
Nevertheless, they certainly do not join forces with them strategically out of love for their neighbour.

One thing i always personally noticed about the pkk leadership is how they looked like armenians. Does anyone have a deeper understanding about whether or not its true that much of the PKK leadership is crypto-armenians?

Both Armenians and Kurds are Indo-Europeans.

How embarrassing, they must really have a deep-seated grudge. As if the whole of NATO revolves around Greece.....

17 wages a year, , 10s of billions of bailouts, asking Germany for compensations, demanding that no single business or military deal with Turkiye to be done, claiming the waters almost to Morocco, demanding that the swimmers in Cunda ask the permits from them to have a dip, taking part in Srebrenica massacre, giving the sanctuary to PKK and Armenian terrorist. All of it is demand from those creatures. Oh yes , on top it those pseudo Orthodox Priests have never ending " Papal conspiracy" convulsions.
Never ending psychotic outbursts from Balkan Christians.

I am of Turkish-Kurdish origin and am familiar with the nuances. There are three Kurdish branches

Kurmanci -> Sunni Kurds, the vast majority of Kurds in the heartland, most of whom are related or related by marriage to Turks (the largest group) in the central south-east of Turkey, some of whom are also represented in Iraq. Predominantly hostile and opposed to the PKK/YPG.

Zaza -> Alevi or Christian Kurds, predominantly in Iraq, Syria, Iran and the extreme south-east of Turkey, e.g. in Dersim, Bingöl, partly also in Hatay and Malatya, Batman & Co. Ambivalent towards the PKK/YPG, difficult to classify. Many of them are also of Armenian Christian descent.

Sorani -> mainly in Iraq and western Iran, no roots in Turkey, mostly Shiites, but also some Sunnis, very distant towards the PKK/YPG.

I'm not saying that all of this data is 100% accurate, but it's definitely heading in that direction.

You are saying basically most kurds in Türkiye are not supporting PKK. That's very optimistic. How do you explain then HDP (who is leaning its back to Kandil) getting around 6mio votes??
