Kurdistan

Thanks for the info Cyrus. Good answer!

I think Kurds are much more an ethnic group, a mixture of Turkic, Persian. They were always tried to be used against Ottoman Empire and Turkey, even before the Russian propogandas and still...

In old Turkish writings, there is a part to Kurts. It begins as "Ey K�rt Be�leri", which calls the beghs of Kurts, and talks to them as Turkmen (Oguz) nomads of west. And also with the last Turkmen migrations to Anatolia, these nomadic Kurds mixed very much with Turkmens. And during the Ankara War (1403- as I remember) between Ottoman Empire and Timur's Empire, to lead the Turkish world, the Y�r�ks of Central Anatolia, which were the still nomadic Turks, run away to mountains and assimilated in Kurdish population. So the names "Turk" and "Kurd" cannot be seperated today, since there are lots of common ethnic and cultural, even historical bonds btw them.

The Kurdish issue is not a new issue. The western worldpowers have been trying to use the Kurdish population in Anatolia as a weapon against Turkish power and Ottoman rule. These propogandas were seriosly being worked on by Russians and British first. To seperate the Anatolian population, the other worldpowers have been using some methods since the Ottoman Empire began to give more importance to its Turkmen population located at Balkans. First, they tried to use "religious propoganda" with the seperatist movements of Shias, but that didnt work since Ottoman Empire was too powerful to divide the authority with such imaginary propogands. Then they used the Balkan population, and it also didnt work in the beginning. But after the "French revolution", the nationalist movements began to get more power in those multiethnical empires such as Ottoman Emp. and Austuria hungrian. That worked well for seperating the Balkan nations from the Empire, because most of them were non Turkish and Slavic.

But even these efforts werent enough to divide the Anatolian unification, since there was peace within Turkmen majority and the minor ethnic populations such as Armenians (once "loyal nation"), Rums (Greeks, "Younans"), and "Laz". And these ethnic populations werent enough to provide a dangerous force against political unification. So, they created a new "nation", from the historical origins of ethnic and cultural brotherhood, Kurds. And their new weapon began to succeed. There was appearing a new minority, but much more than a regular minority with a potential to use against the "sick man of europe" in front of his grave...

Yes, today there is a so called Kurd minority in Turkey, Iraq and Iran. They are officially accepted as a nation by the majority of worldnations. And in Turkey, there are lots of civilians defining themselves as Kurds. But also, PKK(Kadek) describes itself as Kurdic independence force. So to make a decision such as "Kurds are seperatist terrorists" or "Kurts are our loyal brothers, who exist in our peaceful community." These people are everywhere, and seperating such mixed population is definately impossible. And personally I think and believe that Kurds are our brothers, and whatever happens, they will be. But terrorist mass murderers that are mostly supported by great worldpowers and even some Islamic countries such as Syria and Iran, cannot be defined as our brothers, ethnically and culturally...

I think "Kurdistan" will be formed by the antidemocratic Amerian government and UN in the following years, but this will certainly be in todays Iraq borderlands. Because our military force and dominiance in Europe and Middle East wouldnt let such destruction of Turkish Republic's eastern borders, formed with "Milli Misak" and oficially corrected with Lausanne Agreement. This will create a dangerous war in middle east, and danger the American existance and goods here. And this will also be impossible with the UN decisions (they arent very affective, and active, but at least on paper.)

This idea of a Kurd country occupying someparts of East Anatolia is also economically impossible, since these cities have no kind of money earning potentials in a Kurdish country. They would be economically dependent to such neighboor country that is peaceful with them. And I dont think there would be such country instead of a new formed American colony of Iraq. So this is only a dream of the brain washed minority in Turkey.

And Portugal? Portugalstan? It's kind of repetitive...

Don't worry, we will give the turkmen in southern kurdistan the same treatment kurds get by the turkish regime. That should make you realax a bit, is'nt it so?

Well, so what would this make you?  happy?  by the way, do you  have enough  power for this? It looks like  USA will not stay much.

what are you talking about?

Arabs are not all muslims and muslims aren't all arabs, thats one thing, another how "arabs/muslims" created their identity by simply flipping the story of ytizak and yishmael???

what identity are you talking about? the only difference in that story is that  Prophet Abraham was going to sacrifice his older son "Ismael" not Issac as Christans and Jews belive.

how can that an Identity creating? or you have no idea what you are talking about?
