An excellent and positive report on the increasing economic development in South Kurdistan

The report shows what I believe to be the main reason for Turkey's panic and rush to control it's 25 million Kurds. South Kurdistan only has about 5 million Kurds, but they have a country they call KURDISTAN and it is going from strength to strength socially, politically and economically. The Kurds are rightly proud of their country and it's achievements.

Many Kurds in Turkey see the injustice of their situation, especially as there are so many Kurds in Turkey, and they still want a country of their own. The peshmerga became the army of Kurdistan. I see no reason why the PKK cannot become the army of an Independent or Autonomous Kurdish region.

If Turkey was not stealing all the mineral wealth from Kurds in the East, the region would be a great deal more prosperous. And if there were no Turkish tanks or military on Kurdish land there would not be any conflict or fighting, and many more business would be willing to invest in North Kurdistan
