Israel Warns Of Danger In Southern Turkey

Interestingly the Kurds have a large presence in southern Turkey as well as in bordering northern Iraq. The the geographic separation of the Iraqi and Turkish Kurds have been a major concern for Turkey as Kurdish nationalism begins to take hold and re-unification to create a Kurdish state becomes a goal.
