The million Christians that I mentioned were the Armenians. They just about wiped them out. SE Turkey is part of what used to be Kurdistan. The Turkish Ottoman Empire controlled the whole Middle East until 1923--The Turks tried for centuries to wipe out the Kurds, but never could--Kurds are incredible fighters (unless gassed by Saddam.) The thing that Turkey worries about now, is that if the Kurds are armed by the U.S. and becomes an ally, they could take back a third of Turkey. Their Parliament didn't think this through. I rather save the $30 billion.
