Do the massacres perpetrated by the Kurds on the Iraqi Turkomans have any place in your concerns? Are you aware that Barzani wants to occupy a city that has been demographically Turkoman for 4 centuries and probably still is despite Kurdish and Iraqi ethnic cleansing? Or is that far afield as well? Your limited knowledge of Turkey should be a reason for you to withhold your opinions on the Kurdish question until you have broadened that knowledge. As for the intricacies of Turkish politics, you have Louis Proyect to thank for them, who insisted I produce evidence.
