In light of the upcoming pan Kurdish conference I wish to share this tiny bit of wisdom with Kurds. Given Turks' thinking and actions in Cyprus over the last several decades, the north Kurdistani position cannot possibly be different than: EITHER we rule all of "Turkey" together, a fully bilingual "Turkey" on an equal basis, OR we rule north Kurdistan on our own. After all, north Kurdistan always was, without the need for an invasion, ethnic cleansing, division or colonisation. This is a position all permanent members of the UNSC can appreciate fully, given that they have dealt with Turkish demands on Cyprus and understand deeply the principles Turks invoke for their positions.
