Kurds are a minority, which constitutes about 20% of Turkey's population, who aspire to self-determination and independence. They rebelled in 1925. The Turkish government brutally suppressed the rebellion. The next revolt broke in – 1938-1939, also brutally

suppressed. Thousand of Kurds are killed .

During World War II, 770 Jews immigrants were on the rickety ship "Struma", fleeing from fascist, Nazi ally Romania, hoping to get passports in Istanbul, and enter British Mandate Palestine.

The passengers were left at Istanbul quarantined and forbidden to get off the ship (but for eight of them). The immigrants were left on board, with the only supplies received from the Jewish community in Istanbul .

When the supplies ran out, on the night of February 23, 1942, the Turks dragged the “Struma” out of Turkish territorial waters and abandoned it with a broken engine and a damaged anchor. The passengers were left out to sea without food or water. Later the ship was torpedoes and sunk and all Jewish refugees from Nazi occupied Europe(except for one survivor) drowned.

The Turkish invasion of Cyprus caused 6,000 killed
