The Kurdish dream is now closer to reality
2017-11-16
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] I do not think that the consequences of holding a referendum over the right of self-determination in the Kurdistan region and disputed lands have pushed the dream of Kurdish independence far as some analysts are saying.

Before the referendum day on September 25, the Kurdish dream was not close to becoming a reality so how can it become far from achieving now? The governments of Iraq, Iran and The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire....
have agreed on punishing the Kurds for practicing their freedom of expression regarding their future, imposed a siege on them and deployed Iraqi federal forces in all disputed lands and on land and air border crossings.

#4  Both Iran and Turkey have good sized Kurdish majority areas. I doubt Iran is having Al Arabiya "stirring the pot" toward Kurdish independence.

#1  If they cannot get together, with exception to the terrorists and idiot communists, this will never be so.

But no half measures, anymore.
It angers me.
