Edit Request: Selfidentification

[edit]

Good evening, I would like to ask you to change the points of self-identification, as most Zazas see themselves as a separate ethnic group. I am attaching the Tesav survey.

The total figures here show that 90% of the Zazas see themselves as a separate ethnic group. The "Kurdification" of the Zaza people is merely political. "According to a 2015 study that examined the demographics of the voting-age population in the Kurdish inhabited areas in Turkey (Northeast, Central East and Southeast Anatolia statistical regions, n=1918) 12.8% of the people ethnically identified as Zaza, which made Zaza the biggest ethnic identity after Kurdish (73%) in the region. Zaza speakers were more numerous (15%) compared to people who identify with the Zaza ethnic identity, showing that some Zaza speakers identified as other ethnicities, primarily Kurds" It is a survey made by TESAV. source: https://www.yada.org.tr/kurt-secmenlerin-oy-verme-dinamikleri-kuzeydogu-ortadogu-ve-guneydogu-anadolu-alt-bolgelerinde-secmenlerin-siyasal-tercihlerinin-sosyolojik-analizi/ Martinbreu.89 (talk) 22:37, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The methodology of certain surveys has been criticized for being unfair. For example, a survey might ask respondents whether they consider themselves Kurds or Zazas, rather than using the more specific distinction of Kurmanj or Zaza. This approach has been perceived as part of a broader effort by Turkish authorities to create a separation between Kurdish identities. As a result, many Zazas find themselves confused by these categorizations. It is noteworthy that many Zazas continue to identify as Kurds, particularly since Kurdish political parties have gained significant support in numerous Zaza-majority villages. Additionally, there are many Zazas who also identify as Turkish. This complex interplay of identities has led to a broader discussion about how these identities are represented and understood in various surveys and studies.
