Kurdish refugee Behrouz Boochani has warned of a"genocide" against his fellow Kurds in northern Syria, as Turkish forces continue a large-scale assault.
"More than 11,000 [Kurdish] fighters died in this war against ISIS, to make the world a better place," Mr Boochani said, using another acronym for the terror group.Some 30-40 million Kurds live in a large area that straddles Turkey, Iraq, Syria, Iran and Armenia, with many long hoping for their own state.
"Australia, like other countries, if you claim you are a liberal democracy, if you claim that you are really fighting against ISIS, you should support Kurdish people," he said."This war is an international shame. Because the Kurdish people fought against ISIS for everyone, for all the people around the world, particularly for people in Western countries.
