Reply #57: What they're most threated by is the uptick in activity

The Kurds promised the U.S. to stop attacks in Turkey during the lead-up to the Iraq war. The agreement is weakening now that the Kurds are getting into positions of power.


There has been an increase in incursions into Turkish territory by the Kurds in the last few months. Border attacks are picking up and Kurdish spies have been caught inside of Turkish cities.


This can rightfully be seen as a pre-emptive strike on the Kurds by Turkey. Turkey will use Bush's policy against the Kurds. It's partially designed to split the Kurds from the Bush administration and further weaken them.
