See,Kurds make up 70% of the population of Southeastern Turkey.There are probably 100k Turkish soldiers down close to that border.I really don't know why they want this area to begin with.Do they really expect that area(that's 70% Kurd) to ever be calm? Kurds use the mountains in Northern Iraq to hide in,and then make assaults into Southeastern Turkey(against Turks that they see as occupying enemies.)Seems to me,if the Turks really wanted peace there,they could have it by getting the hell out of there.Even if they get what they want(and kill all the Kurd terrorists in those mountains,) I don't see how they expect there won't be more to take their place.A 30% minority in charge is just probably gunna be a big problem that isn't going away.If Kurds are the major populations in Southeastern Turkey,and Northern Iraq,then it's a little difficult for me to see these people as "terrorists." The majority of the 20 million Kurds are in Southeastern Turkey.They are the 70% majority there.So,are the Turks saying to stop fighting and we'll see about giving you independence? No.So,I'm not sure what the alternative is for the Kurds to gain independence in Southeastern Turkey.If the land is occupied 70% by your own people,then I don't consider it terrorism to try to fight whoever is occupying you.Why should we be helping Turkey(like we are) to kill people who are trying to get control of land that their own people occupy.We are helping a 30% minority in their fight against a 70% majority.Why? Turks can get the hell out of southeastern Turkey whenever they want the killing to end.Why would it stop before that?
