The kurdisn territory stretches over northern iraq (maybe iran as well and into northern turkey. The turks want to keep this territory and a unified semi-indepenedent Kurdish enclave in northern iraq might try to take part of turkey with it into a new country. There also many Kurds living in southern turkey and if seperatist movement gained force it could disrupt the entire country. _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
