If there was an independent Kurdistand carved out of northern Iraq, with its own oil fields for revenue, and with the stipulation that they must allow free immigration of Turkey's Kurds, we might have a win-win situation. Turkey would be rid of their Kurd problem (along with their Kurds) and the Kurds would have their own self-supporting country
