Well the Kurds are like the Appalachian people. They’re spread out over four countries(States). So should we give the Appalachians a country by carving up US States?

The Kurds had a State for three years between 1920-1923.

Treaty of Sèvres) gave them a State
renegotiated Treaty of Lausanne (1923) took said State away.

Notice the names of the treaties. First one is French, second one is Swiss - locations treaties were signed.

These treaties were mostly the work of Europeaners, mainly to divvy out land after the breakup of the Ottoman Empire.

Now people want the USA to carve up one or more countries to give the Kurds a State. Problem is, we’d be breaking the second treaty.

Erdogan actually wants to revise that treaty but I doubt it’s to give away land.

Sounds like a job for NATO countries other than us since we didn’t have a whole lot of involvement in the treaties to begin with.
