Trigger
I just read “Die historische Chance/Vor einem Jahrhundert ließ die Staatengemeinschaft den Plan eines Staates für die Kurden fallen. Nun ist die Chance dafür wegen des Konflikte im Irak so gut wie selten zuvor.” (German language) and
Kurdistan
Apparently the Kurdish people are an ancient people. After World War I they were promised their own state, but this promise was reneged. See e.g. the treaty of Sevres of 1920.
Given the current situation in Iraq perhaps it is time for an independent state of Kurdistan, if the Kurdish people so wish.
I am sure there would be compromises possible over a transitional period with the remaining Iraq regarding crude oil revenues etc. after formation of a an independent Kurdistan.
If Saudi Arabia or some other Arabian countries or Iran object, then this could probably be ignored!
