The night of the invasion of Iraq, some Democrats in the aspiration of Turkey to support Kurdish alliance - Turkish - American as the idea of ​​«genius». Under this view, required the spirit of the times such as this alliance, which will serve the interests of Turkey in several ways. Due to the Kurdish alliance with the United States at the time and the fact that Turkey is a strong ally of the United States in the region, the agreement between the Kurds and the Turks promote the development of Turkey regionally. He will help Turkey to solve «the Kurdish problem»;, allowing Ankara to kill two birds with one stone. Was seen to Sunni Arabs at the time that they are the losers in that game for the Alliance of Iraqi Shiites with the United States.

Change of time and are Shiite majority in Iraq, moving towards the orbit of Iran, Turkey and found itself in one camp with Sunni Arabs, especially after the so-called «Arab spring» .. The final selection of Turkish foreign policy makers who supported the Sunni camp, after the beginning of the process of regime change in Syria. It is believed that the idea «genius» now centered on the formation of a new front with the Kurds and the Turks and the year as allies of the United States and the new winners in the region. Seems that the spirit of the times have changed in such a short period .. It is true that regional policy has taken a sectarian direction and the current government, of course, support the political objectives for the year, and also has the choice of political legitimacy because the more the Turks and the Kurds of the year .. However, regional policy are not commensurate with the complexity of dealing on a sectarian basis. Apart from the risks and human cost to be paid as a result of sectarian clashes in the region, is any possibility for the emergence of a new balance of forces on a sectarian basis is not realistic.

First of all; Syria is not Egypt, and perhaps support the political objectives for the year difficult and lead to undesirable results, especially if it reminds us of the problems faced by Egypt in the wake of «liberation revolution» in a manner exceeding expectation.

Turkey may also run the risk of social Bsalamha by promoting itself as a Sunni power. Finally, despite the dreams of Turkey Kurdish sectarian divide, economically and culturally as much as possible, the Kurdish issue has become in the end «the issue of national unity», more than ever before.

If Turkey had insisted on a refusal to acknowledge this reality of the Kurdish issue, any idea will be to establish a regional alliance of Kurdish - Turkish doomed to failure.

Turkey was only thinking in the establishment of a regional alliance with the Kurds, the limits of the policy of exclusion of the Kurdish opposition in Turkey through a regional alliance with the Iraqi Kurds.

Turkey is reluctant to recognize the emerging political force of the Kurds in Iraq. Instead, you want to see the rise of political power to Iraq's Kurds up to the faithful partner of «minimum residence» in the implementation of local and regional policy of Turkey. I think that all the international parties involved in regional politics as well as Kurdish leaders in Iraq are well aware of this fact, but it seems that Turkey is the only one that believes that the idea is justified and legitimate. Under the current circumstances, it is difficult to make history conform with the spirit of the age dreams of Turkey. So, it makes sense to start Turkey's recognition of the complexities of historical, political, regional, rather than hoping to reshape the region according to contemplate.

I dont mind as long as there is a country called Kurdistan and we run our affairs. We deal with the domestic problems later like all other countries.
