LOL?? If this is true.. we must be happy.. or not.
Maybe the Turkish army sees this as a provocation and trie to invade Kurdistan.

If this is true, it is definitely good news. It will be the first solid agreement for a vote on independence since the Treaty of Sevres.

[Diri]

Yes - This news is supported by Zagros TV...

They will have the right to VOTE for their independence... And think - we wil first PEACEFULLY incorporate Kerkûk and other Kurdish areas before this happens... That is ONE of FOUR dreams come true
