if i came in your house and started shooting and killing you and telling u to leave this is my home.. would you let me get away with it? same thing. PKK Kurds come start terrorism activities on turks to try and wipe them out and put there borders to create themselves a country ... this is why we go and invade them in Iraq. We go and wipe them out coz thats where they based. All you people saying that we go there for no reason and kill them should stop day dreaming.

@blackriver991 You call Turks racist and Fascist and cry about discrimination. Then you say Kurdstan is for the Kurds only.. HAHAH how Ironic ..

Not to mention the SIMPLE fact, Kurds NEVER had autonomy .. not in Turkey or Iraq, NEVER, NOWHERE .. so you have no right to claim land or give land a name you moron.
