The did and are still getting screwed...
The Kurds are not radical like other Muslims in the region, they are friendly towards Israel and Jews, the like Western dress and other accoutrements of modern civilization...they just want their ancestral homeland...which happens to reside in territory the world (led by the Brits) drew up in modern day Iraq, Iran, Syria & Turkey. Isn't it interesting how their Muslim neighbors are their worst enemies? And enemy number one is Turkey.
I'd back the Kurds and tell the Turks to go screw themselves in a heartbeat.
