The Arab Spring has transformed into the Kurdish Spring


The Arab Spring has transformed into the Kurdish Spring.(HD).By Ertuğrul Özkök.Our Foreign Minister is reported to be “looking for a place for Bashar al-Assad.” You know what, while he is looking for a place, let us, ourselves, look for a new place for Turkey. We may or may not support our country’s Syrian policy. That does not matter in the least. We are all aware of the picture in front us, aren’t we?
We have a 1,200 km long Kurdish border.
ONE: Only one week ago, we had a 400-kilometer “Kurdish border.” Now, 800 kilometers have been added to this. Friends, this is the new geopolitical reality that has been drawn by “our strategic depth”: As of today, we have a 1,200 kilometer long Kurdish border. We could not manage 400 km, could we manage 1,200 km?
TWO: We should consider this. We could not manage a 400 kilometer Kurdish border. How are we going to manage 1,200 kilometers? We are awaiting an “in depth” response to that. Arabs are fighting, Kurds are winning.
THREE: Are you aware, the “Arab Spring” that we fervently support has completely transformed into a “Kurdish Spring”? There is a strange situation both in Iraq and in Syria: Arabs are fighting each other, people are dying. The Kurds are taking one more step on their path to an independent state. Besides, they are able to achieve this without firing one bullet, without losing one soul. Here you go, this is true strategic depth.Read the full story here.
