news magazine here in the states - CBS did segment on Iraqi
Kurdistan. 60 minutes has an audience of at least 15 to 20
million viewers and you all can see the segment by going to
the link below. I think you will really like what you see in their
video segments especially the one on The antanomy of Kurdistan.
I am sure that the millions of people here are very impressed as
I was with what your people have done there and the way you feel
about us here.

You should seek a different friend from that of Diri.
He is a kurd starting to side with the Turks. I can understand Baris since he is half Turkic and therefore hold a reasonable account of sympathy towards Turks. I mean that is understandable. But... as we all know the Turks have practiced genocide and oppression on the Kurdish people.
Dyaoko is a respectful person, so I won't hold anything against him. But Diri has shown a great deal of empathy towards to Turkic people and even wishes to co-exist as one of them. We are taking about getting rid of Kurdish identity to be a Turk.
And allow me for some time to show you where I got that information.
[quote=Diri]They don't need to be that... As long as they would be democratic, everything would be solved in due time... But as long as there is corruption and all sorts of mischief going on behind the curtains, then it will be this way forever... If not even worse... [/quote]
Honestly I can understand the immediant reaction to this. But this is a response to what I've said about using democracy in a country where Kurds are daily abused and the Turks make up the majority. Democracy works by majority rule. If it doesn't then it isn't democracy, because democracy is about the power of the vote. And when a vote is caste it is the majority of that vote that decides what takes place.
Now do you understand why I say those things about Diri?
BTW, democracy can only work in an evironment that is stable. It isn't working in Iraq, because the environment isn't stable. You need to have stability in the region first.
Anyways, Baris is a friend of mine so I can understand why he is a good friend and Dyaoko is a figure of respect which can also be understandable as a good friend even though he and I aren't quite friendly yet. We are more like time-to-time associates.
Diri used to be my friend until started making insults and continue to question my logic or bringing such up even after I have asked him to stop.
