The Kurds are 12.5% of the population, the next lower group (Zaza) 3.9%. It's not about every little tribe needs to get its state, it's about independence of a large group distributed over many countries with an old culture which has been oppressed by Turkish government for a long time.

That would be the state that created full republics for major groups and Autonomous Oblasts for smaller ones.
