Especially, after the revolution of PKK(Kurdish Worker Party), conflict has been worst and Kurdish problem has seen as terrorism. Accordingly, Turkey’s Kurdish questions has not solved for decades. Turkey has seen Kurdish question as security problem, therefore has applied security-based policies. ![]() Moreover, HNT claims that there is no hierarchy between needs and needs of both side can be satisfied together. This paper will assert that resources of conflict between Kurds and Turkey are unmet needs of two side, in this respect HNT argues that needs are not zero-sum and instead of ‘this or that’ perspective with perspective of ‘both of’ conflicts can be solved. Human Needs Theory (HNT) claims that unmet needs cause conflicts, and to solve conflicts needs must be satisfied. ![]() For decades, Turkey’s Kurds have had conflicts with the Republic of Turkish State for their identity needs, and Turkey has had same conflicts in the context of nation-building and security. This paper will explore one of Conflict Resolution perspective’s theory which is called as Human Needs Theory in the context of Turkey’s Kurdish question. Based on observation of verified YouTube clips, field visits to Turkey and Syria and semi-structured interviews with Syrian video activists between the years 20, I suggest that Syrian video activists can be seen as revolutionary filmmakers similar to the twentieth-century ‘Kinoks’, or kino-ki, that formed part of Dziga Vertov’s Soviet filmmakers collective whose radical experiment aimed to bridge social revolution and realist cinematic practice (Tomas 1992) and document reality ‘As It Is’. As such, I do not focus on technology or the medium per se, but on the peoples’ motivations-what led them to upload digital video content as testimonies of revolutionary events and violence.
