If you own 100 acres and a neighbor wants to take 33 acres would you just give them to him? Not an accurate analogy. In this case the Kurdish Turks are not neighbors living on Turkish land, they are part the population of Turkey. And it's not out of the question for regions to peacefully separate. For example, In Canada the Quebecans often have votes for whether or not to secede, and if they ever vote to secede the Canadian government is likely to let them, not kill them. And I'ev brought up the Czech -Slovak example numerous times. People/governments are possessive about land. Land usually = power and resources. It's the cause of most every war ever fought. Uh huh, so. Do you know the answer - is there anything other than "Turkish pride" that says they must hold onto the Turkish areas of Turkey? If it is just their pride and desire for power, who gives a damn? That's not a reason to advocate or not advocate some policy.
