I made my comment in response to this by you-
"then the question is: what if other etnically Kurd people rebel in their home countries, which are Iraq, Iran, Turkey and Syria, upon hearing an independent Kurdistan."
This certainly implies your political views. It specifically speaks to the fears of those who believe that an autonomous Kurdistan shall inspire the same elsewhere.
Perhaps, perhaps not that the idea alone shall do so. Active assistance, however, from Kurdistan to groups attempting this objective would, now, create unbearable pressures on Iraq from Syria, Turkey, and Iran.
Were Iraq to formally partition, support by an independant Kurdistan for liberation movements in adjacent countries would likely provoke open war. Would Iran, Syria, and Turkey win? Nobody seems to have thoroughly suppress Kurdish aspirations yet so that's very much an open question. What can be assured, though, is that an independant Kurdistan would cease to exist.
The risk is too great for the tangential gains of Kurdish homelands in adjacent nations. Greater Kurdistan shall never exist. Thoughtful Kurds know this. Endangering their present gains for this unattainable ambition is not rational and there's been no indication- NOT A PEEP- that the KRG formally supports Kurdish nationalist movements in adjacent countries.
Sorry if you're offended but I've heard these expressed views of yours many, many times already from others and it only continues to prop up more of the same dangerous sentiments that have created this mess in the first place.
I'm looking for solutions and they won't come from more of the same.
