Perhaps.

However, history tells us that:

Turkish-Kurdish conflict or Kurdish rebellions in Turkey refer to the nationalist struggles of Kurds in Turkey, beginning after the Turkish War of Independence and the consequent transition from the Ottoman Empire to the modern Turkish state.
According to Turkish military records, Kurdish rebellions have been taking place in Anatolia for over two centuries.

Although Kurdish tribal uprisings ended the Ottoman Empire over the last few decades of its existence, the conflict in its modern phase is considered to have started in 1922, with the rise of Kurdish nationalism paralleling the formation of the modern state. from Turkey.

In 1925, an uprising for an independent Kurdistan, led by Sheikh Said Piran, was quickly suppressed, and Said and his followers were executed soon after. Several other large-scale Kurdish revolts took place in Ararat and Dersim in 1930 and 1937.The British consul in Trebizond, Dersim's closest diplomatic post, spoke of the brutal and indiscriminate violence and pointed to an explicit comparison with the Armenian massacres of 1915. "Thousands of Kurds," he wrote, "including women and children, were killed, others, mostly children, were thrown into the Euphrates, while thousands of others in less hostile areas, who had first been deprived of their livestock and other belongings, were deported to vilayets (provinces) in Central Anatolia. Kurdish question no longer exists in Turkey".
Kurds accuse successive Turkish governments of suppressing their identity through means such as banning the Kurdish language in print and media.

Atatürk believed that the unity and stability of a country lay in a unitary political identity, relegating cultural and ethnic distinctions to the private sphere. However, many Kurds have not renounced their identities and language.

Full-scale armed conflict between the Turkish armed forces and the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) would occur throughout the 1980s and 1990s, leaving over 35,000 dead. Recent actions by the Turkish government have provided Kurds with limited rights and freedoms, particularly with regard to the Kurdish language, education and media. Kurdish politicians and activists still face pressure. (source: wikipedia).
