Wouldn't the world and the Kurds be better of if the Kurdish part of present day Turkey were instead part of greater Kurdistan? And the Turks would put a barrier between them and the Iraqis. Seems reasonable and a win win all around to me.

Why would the Turks want to give up part of their country? After all, some of its important natural resources are located in those mts; its where the headwaters of the Euphrates emanates, providing very needed hydroelectric power to a country dependent on foreign oil; and there are Turks living in those mts along with the Kurds.

Besides, Kurdistan is a creation of the Kurds. There has never been a Kurdistan nor a separate country for the Kurds. Its their fantasy. While I am all for fantasy, why should it be at the expense of someone else?
