Diri don’t even start claims about Kurdistan. Do you know what will happen to the Kurdish controlled area of Northern Iraq after the US withdraws? Their will be massacres of the Kurdish people. Kurds always side with the superpowers in attempts to get a Kurdistan. During Ottoman times you helped the Turks under the promise that you would get a Kurdish state. And now with the US…
10 years before the Iraq war. Southern Iraq was sanctioned and their was almost no trade to it. While the northern part of Iraq was open for trade and allowed to prosper. Kurds have always been betraying their neighbors in order to get a “Kurdistan”.
Northern Iraq will be just like Western Iran in 1945 all over again……
What about the fact that Van was a city founded by Armenians. Does this mean nothing to you? Or is all you think about self-determination and the right for a majority to rule themselves. Maybe where I live (Glendale) Armenians should rule. Since we are the majority. Kurds must have serious issues laying claim to half the Middle East when they have never even had a state.
I think it is you who is dreaming. Look at Armenia. We have already begun getting our historic land back in Azerbaijan. What have the Kurds done? Set up a self governed Northern Iraq when their was no government in Iraq? WOW, real hard. What do you think will happen when the government of Iraq is rebuilt? Backed by Iran, Syria, and Turkey who also don’t want the Kurds in their own countries to form a united Kurdistan?
I’ll let you use your imagination……….
