32844 - Geostrategic scene in Kurdistan
N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Vicky Baklessi
The request of the Kurds for a semi-autonomous entity in Iraq for the referendum for its independence constitutes a tangible change of phase to the data of the Middle East. Of course it is not about a theoretical innovation since it is the subsequent of the whole process which exists for years in Iraq and in Syria. What is most important though, besides the fact that these regions produce oil, it is that we speak of regions outside Iraq which concern Kurdistan directly. The result is that Turkey receives new pressures at its borders and in fact from both sides. By this way we see that the moves of the USA play a catalytic role for the liberation of the Kurdish people. So it is a vision that is no longer abstract, but transforms to a strategic aim. The entire framework activates simultaneously the Sevres Treaty itself, since this had a delimitation of boundaries of Kurdistan both with Turkey and with Western Armenia. So we start seeing conditions for the domino effect in the region which will change the classical data of the region, while many thought that nothing would happen, because the Kurdish people would always be encroached. But the Kurdich army has already proven it effectiveness even against the terrorist organization of Daesh. So its upgrade is double due to its range on the territory and the reinforcement of America even in its artillery. So it is indeed a liberation army for Kurdistan.
