I already mentioned this like a year ago when Turkey started bombing Kurdish positions. But I was rebuffed. Over time, growing evidence suggests that Turks have indeed sent thousands of their finest troops over the border into Iraq to lay the smackdown on the Kurds.

BTW, those focking Turkish government bastards (despite the issue of Kurds) were one of the first to happily support the independent Kosovo. Biggest hypocrites that I've known. Look in the dictionary for the word hypocrite, and you'll see Turkish flag right beside it ...

Why, because of the genocide of Albanians by the Turks 100 years ago?

You mean the genocide of Armenians? ... the genocide that allegedly didnt happen according to the Turkish government. The 1.5 million Armenians were military casualties.

BTW, thanks to Russian Cossacks who moved in to aid the Armenians, to stop the slaughter ... because the figure could have been much higher ... and thanks to the Cossacks, Armenia today is an independent country (while most of historic Armenia is still within Turkey).

If there was not Russian Revolution, today Armenian holy sites around Ararat would still be Armenian, and so would the ancient Armenian churches and monuments (that have since been converted by Turks to mosques, homes, and warehouses).

Though I guess the rules of "invasion" have been obscured, since apparently we can bomb any country we like (somalia anyone?) as long as we call wolf--I mean--terrorist. More to come on this one probably, we'll see.

Governments for the win!

Yea, armenian.

The Kurds need to chill out. They've got plenty of land in "Kurdistan" Iraq. So why are they trying to screw with Turkey.

The Kurds are self-determining.

There are something like 20 million Kurds in Turkey, and only 5 million in Iraq prior to the current instability that has forced many to leave.
