A comment: The history of the Kurds is rather sad. They are no less entitled to a homeland than say the Palestinians, but they've been screwed by history. After the breakup of the Ottoman empire after WWI, many areas were promised an autonomous state, as were the Kurds at the Treaty of Sèvres in 1920, and this was supported by President woodrow wilson. Although everyone else just sort of forgot about this, the kurds never have. The issue will now be "resolved" by realpolitik since the US needs turkish airbases, but kurds probably will never stop fighting until someone handles their historic grievances.
