KURDS MAKE THEIR MOVE?
One thing that is certain when dealing with a crisis such as
the events in Syria.
You
simply cannot predict the second and third order effects and the impact they
will have on all parties.
It
has been a real concern from the beginning of the actions in Syria that the
Kurdish issue would rekindle.
Turkish
leadership may not have made the Kurdish concern known in the early days of the
Arab Spring , but they always had it in the back of their minds.
I can
guarantee you it's been on the Kurd's mind from day one of the "Arab
Spring".
What's
good for the Goose is good for the Gander!
More
importantly, this Kurdish issue is heavy on the minds of the struggling Iraqi
government; a government that is very upset with Turkey over the developing oil
trade with the Kurds of Northern Iraq.
Along with Iraq and Turkey, Iran has a vote in
the Kurdish issue as well given the desires the Kurds have for parts of Iranian
land.
The
prediction has been the destabilization of the region based on the ongoing
events in Syria and this story is yet another indication that prediction is
coming true.
PKK
and PYD cooperation is a nightmare to Turkey, Iran, Syria and Iraq!
The UN is a world body that is simply unable
to deal with this "cooperation"; I.E. they can't betray the Kurds as
they have in the past.
Simply
put; the Kurds feel it could very well be "their time".
If
leadership inside the PKK and the PYD are truly ready to cooperate, then the
world has a whole new problem in the region.
Enter
the Tsar!!
To
Putin; Kurdistan is spelled "OIL"...
Kurds
are not Arab... they don't have their sights on the Stans... they don't want a
Muslim / Islamist capital in Chechnya.
Turkey
is trying to work around Putin and the Stans when it come to oil.
Perhaps
Putin is going to find a new friend in the concept of this
"cooperation".
If
you think not... do not forget the Tsar is the old Master of the KGB.
Make
a friend one day and the next... a bullet to the back of the head.
