Yes, and long overdue.

Long overdue. Turkey will immediately declare war on Kurdistan. It will be easier than war against the whole of Iraq. It is a bit surprising that they had not thought of this earlier.

I see no problem in letting the people that actually live there creating their own nations, instead of how the Europeans did it..

Seems as though they use the same method. They kill everyone else unless they convert.

The Game Changer: Syria, Iran, and Kurdish Independence | World Affairs Journal

I'ts a long read. Complicated. I thought the Balkans were complicated. These people top that.

"In a statement that could have a dramatic impact on regional politics in the Middle East, a spokesman for Turkey's ruling party recently told a Kurdish media outlet that the Kurds in Iraq have the right to self-determination.

"The statement has been relatively overlooked so far, but could signal a shift in policy as Turkey has long been a principal opponent of Kurdish independence, which would mean a partitioning of Iraq.

"'The Kurds of Iraq can decide for themselves the name and type of the entity they are living in,' Huseyin Celik, a spokesman for the Justice and Development Party, told the Kurdish online news outlet Rudaw last week."

Not likely, against the Kurds, united, Turkey would lose, in any event. The US will back Kurdistan. The Kurds are the only true allies the US has in the region, outside of Israel.

Turkey is a NATO ally. Not only will we not defend an independent Kurdistan if it looked like or was made to look like a Kurd attack we would have bombing runs over Kurdistan.

Did you forget that?

We made a mistake. These people deserve to live with their own kind within their own countries. I hope the kurds get their nation!

Turkey won't go to war with Iraqi Kurdistan, they have spent many years building up a good political relationship with the Kurds there. Turkey's concerns are over the PKK using Iraqi Kurdistan as a base, though the authorities have been working with Turkey to weed them out and turn Kurds away from militancy.
