According to a study carried out by the İsmail Beşikci Foundation, the approaches that still see Kurdish as a security issue and prevent it with arbitrary bans lead to discrimination, self-censorship and difficulties in making ends meet.

“In doing their academic studies or sharing their opinions with their students in class, most of the academics in the field of Kurdish Studies try to foresee which opinions and notions will overstep the red lines of the state or might be penalized,” says the report.
