Part II-Ismail Beşikçi: the 21st century will be better for Kurds

In this seconfd part of our interview with Turkish socieologist, philosopher and author, Dr Ismail Besikci, we ask him about the Kurdish situation in west and east of Kurdistan as well as a prospect of an independent Kurdistan in the 21st century. We also ask for his views regarding president-elect Donald Trump, and what his administration may mean for the Kurds. Finally we asked him why? Why he continued defending Kurdish rights particularly in Turkey, even though he suffered endlessly for what he stood for, which included 17 years imprisonment. Interview is in Turkish with English interpretation and voice-over by Dr Roni Demirbag.
