    A few years later after that ill-advised celebration the Pahlavi Dynasty came to an end.

    In regions of present day Eastern Turkey, also known as the Ottoman Armenian Highlands, or the Western Armenian Highlands, Kurds didn't settle into "empty spaces" because a lot of Armenians were already there. The Kurds were semi-nomadic trouble makers whom brought their livestock with them, but the livestock trampled across Armenian Farms in those areas; consequently, hostility and trouble would lead to strife and conflict between Armenians and Kurds. Also, Kurdish Chieftains overtaxed their Armenians neighbors, and behaved like robber barons. Kurds could do that because they were backed by the Ottoman Sultan. Kurds were backed by the Ottoman Sultans simply because Kurds are Islamic, while Armenians are Christian. Kurds complain now, after they looted, raped and murdered Armenians a century ago. Very Interesting!

    It's funny how Turkey is now plagued by problems from the Kurds, yet previously, both Kurds and Turks were complicit in working together to obliterate Armenian and Assyrian Christians.

    Although they're unfortunately a Muslim majority, I still support them over their ayrab counterparts. This means I would want a Kurdistan over Iraq any day! At least they're trying to be civilised and are advancing their nation, and making ties with Israel, which is a smart and strategic move, unlike going corrupt like Iraq and Syria who hate Jews and anyone who isn't them, and treating minorities like shit. Kurds from what I read treat women better, at least compared to palestinians and Iraqis. I do hope Kurdistan one day engulfs Iraq and anything that's Arab-related in that country because I am honestly sick of pan-arabism. Oh and Kurds speak an Indo European language, so we do want this language family to spread particularly in the semitic arabic majority of Iraq. That said, i have a soft spot for Aramaic because Jesus spoke it, so we can preserve that...

    If they could create it without setting the Middle East and Turkey on fire, yes.

    Kurds do seem to have gotten a shitty deal out of the last century's map makers, maybe this century will treat them differently.

    Iraqi Kurdistan tries it a right way and I support it.

    YPG and PKK way? Hell no.
    Id revoke that statement, I would not support Kurdistan at all.

    They behave like Apes in France and Turkey.

    I am glad Erdogan is making peace with Assad, hopefully they start a combined invasion against Kurds and by that also kick out the US troops.
