And create a greater Kurdistan incorporating a 1/3 of Turkry and 1/4 of Iran. Sounds good to me.

This has been the nightmare for Turkey (and Iran, Iraq, and probably Syria) for the last who-knows-how-many years. Consider: if a sovereign and independent "Kurdistan" were to be carved out of those countries (with political borders covering all the regions where the Kurds now live and constitute a majority of the population), it would control not merely a huge amount of oil (fields in place and reserves), but also the headwaters of both the Tigris and Euphrates. This would give it enormous leverage over its neighbors.
