DEBATE ON KURDISH-AZERBAIJANI TURKISH RELATIONS

HEJAR,
With respect to giving up Mukrian, I was suggesting the impossible hence enforcing the idea that our Kurdish leaders have no choice but working with Azeri Turks. I am in agreement with your recent post with the exception of Naghadah bloodshed. Since there has never been an independent fact finding commission investigating that unfortunate event, let's agree to disagree. Again, I agree that it marked a huge setback for Kurdish struggle and I hope Kurdish leaders work diligently to prevent similar events from ever happening.
In Iraq, Kurdish leaders are working very well to include minorities in their platform. Their next big challenge is to win Turcomans to join them rather than creating obstacles for them. They need to be bold and share the administration to some extent with Turkomans, otherwise it will not happen. There are bad stories coming out of Kirkuk and certainly hope Kurdish leaders to pay more attention to Turkoman inclusion in KRG.
