What I find rather ironic about this whole thing is that the birth rate of Turks in Turkey is absolutism plummeting - their fertility rate is only around 1.5, while the Kurdish fertility rate is far higher, around 4.2. That’s right - within a few generations, Turkey will be majority Kurdish.

CIA Factbook: Turkish 70-75%, Kurdish 18%, other minorities 7-12% (2008 est.) I don't see how that is mathmatically possible in only a few generations. Since Turkey does not record the number of Kurds separately as an ethnic group in their census figures, the exact numbers are really unknown.
