Finally! Kurds will get their comeuppance for that horrible Armenian genocide. At the hands of the Turks...
Not my point. The Kurds did well against ISIS, but they are in tough spot. In that region it often changes who are on top and who gets genocideed. You need strong allies who you can trust or you need to be stronger and meaner than those around you.
Christians are more or less cleansed from the region by now. Nobody cares. It's everyone for themselves.
If the Kurds want a homeland they can go ahead and make one for themselves. Look at what the Jews did. They didn't wait for anyone to give them permission. It's all about creating the facts on the ground and then get everyone else to accept them.
