#1 Starting in 1984, the PKK transformed itself into a paramilitary organization, which was largely based in Iran, Iraq and Syria, as it launched conventional attacks as well as bombings against Turkish governmental installations, military and civilian targets at the aim of establishing an independant state.

The above stated, this shows that the PKK has narrow bandwidth. The goal sought is being achieved but not by them. The Pkk's private engagement of Turkey, is now completely counter productive to their stated aims, it should disband itself at once and cease its provocations lest its leaders be shown to be idiots of the first order. The greater Kurdish government of Iraq, needs to articlate to the PKK that its surperflous, and warn them that to carry on against Turkey is wrong headed. if the PKK does not listen; than the Kurdish govnmnt of Iraq should take them off their speed dial list and let the pkk dissolve by the natural attrition that is certain to follow.
