how about an agreement where an attack on them is deemed to be an attack on us?

Turkey has said they will not allow a separate Kurdish state to be established. Ditto for Iran. Will this bring them into the equation?

This is not a shot at Turkey. The Turk planners originally agreed to this arrangement and were only recently over ruled.

The split of the Turkish government is the result of this policy, not the cause.
