Point of View• Turkey, Iraq, Iran, and Syria may see
the Kurds as unreliable, untrustworthy traitors who want to break apart those countries.
• The Kurds are a nation – a people with a sense of common ethnicity, history, and purpose. They see their cause as nationalist patriotism.
• Neither the UN or any country has taken up their cause and supported the creation of an independent Kurdistan.
