Well, that's not what the Kurds want. A good portion of Kurdistan falls inside the borders of Turkey.

There is no such thing as Kurdistan. There are territories where Kurds live, just like territories where Serbs live. It doesn't mean that a potential Kurd State (or Serbia) can have all these territories, or have them right away.


While I don't think that Kurdistan was ever independent or if was, it was only for a short period of time.......the Kurds have a very defined sense of their history and the borders of their 'country'. And just like the Serbs and Serbia, they want that area to become the independent state of Kurdistan. BTW thier history goes all the way back to the time of Mesopotamia.

But they call it "Kurdistan," and there will likely be a significant uprising and lots of bloodshed in the areas they want but don't get.
