    The reason of the situation in Kurdistan is the policy of Turkish state in the last 5-6 decades. If a country has big socioeconomic gap like in Turkey, that doesn't count only for Kurdish region but as well for a lot of Turkish cities, then it is clearly a state failure. And we aren't even talking about the oppressions and crimes against the people in Kurdistan, which happened until early 2000s, otherwise Turks wouldnt deal with terrorism until now.

    Iraqi Kurdistan is the only stable and well working place in Iraq, a Kurdish independence wouldnt benefit Turkey but Kurdish people.

    I admire Turkey for its Ottoman past, not for its autistic nationalism where the notions of Kurdishness, Kurds, and Kurdistan are taboo or which is denying Armenian genocides, Pontian and Anatolian Greeks persecutions, ... I fully support an independent Kurdistan, not only because it is the rights of Kurds, but also because it would relief Turkey from a huge weight

    Kurdish independence would be a disaster for Turkey. Turkey would lose geopolitical importance and would have much older demographic, Kurdistan is a blessing, culturally as well politically. Now people there understood that Kurds will get immense significance in the next years and suddenly Kurds became equal citizens. "Kurd" is still a term and identity with a negative connotation, I am not even Kurdish but this disgusting ignorance makes me sad. Kurdistan would cause incurable damages, incomparable with Soviets or Yugoslavia but Kurds would get a big country, young population with a lot of resources. So stop talking about huge weight and keep dreaming about Ottoman past which is unfortunately disliked by most Turks.
