The Kurds have wanted Iran, Iraq, Syria, Turkey, and Armenia to give the Kurds land... from their own sovereign nations....

Iran, Iraq, and Syria were created by the bureaucrats in the British Foreign Office with little regard for tribal, national, boundaries, etc. Some sovereignty.

Guess the Kurds didn’t kiss enough butt back then to get their own country.

The Kurds have been fighting each other for centuries. The chieftains have been in charge...still are, and probably always will be.

And, who in his right mind would want that dry, useless, land?

Iran, Syria and Iraq have been around since the time of Christ...different names, maybe, but essentially the same cultures.

Damascus became a town VERY early, be on because it had and still has TWO completely separate fresh water wells. THAT is why ANY town was settled in those dusty lands.

Google: Founded in the 3rd millennium B.C., Damascus was an important cultural and commercial centre, by virtue of its geographical position at the crossroads of the orient and the occident, between Africa and Asia. The old city of Damascus is considered to be among the oldest continually inhabited cities in the world.
