Iran has agreed to help Turkey fight Kurdish rebels in Northern Iraq. The decision struck by senior officials on both sides shows that Ankara’s recent decision to move away from Tehran in favor of greater Western alignment might have been premature.

Please dont comment on something you dont know. Kurds will always have to live under Turkey. The country cannot be divided into parts. Turkey is a democratic country and everyone has equal rights like in US. So if you dont wanna accept your identity, go find yourself a different place because we wont let you divide the country.
The Iraq war is lost and the Kurds are an indigenous&n bsp;people who are on the losing side. Their host countries& nbsp;will use the incursion, valid or false flag - it matters not, to decimate their populatio n. This may begin in earnest  ;after the USA vacates Iraq. The current incursion of Turkish forces are just a 'reconnaissance  ;in force'.
Turkey aggressively invades Kurdistan Iraq in response to military attacks by Kurdish freedom fighters and the world is silent. No loudly voiced condemnations by world leaders, no UN resolutions demanding that Turkey stop it’s aggressive behavior and begin negotiations with the Kurds and very little media attention regarding the issue. And yet, when Israel responds to hundreds of rockets being fired upon it’s civilian population, and where innocent Israeli civilians are murdered and bombed by Palestinian terrorists there are vociferous condemnations and violent demonstrations against Israel by the Muslim world. Numerous UN resolutions are promulgated against Israel along with loud calls by Moslems for the complete destruction of the Israeli state. The great hypocrisy is that one of the loudest voices against Israel is Turkish Prime MinisterRecep Erdogan, the man who ordered the attacks on Kurdistan. The Kurds want to create an independent nation state that would encompass a geo-cultural region that spans Iraq, Turkey and Iran where the Kurds form a prominent majority. Historically, the Kurds have a shared and unique culture, language and national identity, unlike the Palestinian who do not have a unique language, culture and national identity and who considered themselves a part of Syria, Jordan and the Arab world until 1967 when they called for a Palestinian state following their defeat in the Arab-Israeli war Where is the moral equivalence in this matter? If anything, Turkey’s latest incursion against the Kurds shows the true color of Turkey, the Moslem states, and their allies: “Do as I say and not as I do”.
Some time in the future, all of these countries Turke y, Iran, Syria, and Iraq have to come one table to talk about the future of the Kurd people.
They [Turkey, Iran, Syria and Iraq] all have to do it.
T hey [Turkey, Iran, Syria and Iraq]cannot fight liked this.
They [Turkey, Iran, Syria and Iraq] have to come out some solutions or some plan how to make things are better for both parties like Kurd people and Arab people and Turkey people and Iran people to live side by side.
I am not forcing to do right now. It is long-term process to do it for all member states as well as the leadership of the Kurd people too.
