False info added by Kurdish nationalists; removal request

The section ‘Kurdish community’ is unfortunately full of biased unreliable information which is definitely untrue. Every other source shows that Turkmens have always been the vast majority in Altinköprü, but this one source is written by a Kurdish politician who states the town was ‘70% Kurdish’ followed by similar figures backed by no source or reference or evidence whatsoever. No such census or statistics have ever existed. This author works for the Kurdish Regional Government which is an obvious indicator of publication bias. His statements have no evidence and are disproven by all of the other sources.
This is cultural erasure of a minority based on false information and such ethnocentric edits should not be tolerated on Wikipedia. I therefore ask that the following section be removed from the page: ‘Kurds constituted 70% of the population in 1947, while that number fell to 50% in 1957. In 1965, the percentage of Kurds fell further to 25.7% but increased again to 75.6% in 1977.[19]’, as well as the ‘Kurdish settlements in Iraq’ tag. Altun Kupri is an almost exclusively Turkmen settlement.
This information is definitely not true and should not be on this page. AwaZorroAp (talk) 12:29, 7 April 2021 (UTC)
