    I think you are making judgements based on obsolete information. Things have changed considerably in the last 12 months.
    Do you have something to back that up? I find it highly improbable that Turkey would be supporting independent Kurdistan due to their own Kurdish minority, which will most likely want a piece of Turkey. Hoping that their Kurds will just move to the new state on their own seems naive.

    It's been discussed quite intensively over the past few months. I'm quite honestly surprised that this is news to you. Here.
