Welcome to the Kurdish Spring ~ link ~ This could prove to be a massive 'wild card' event, on a par with the Kaiser sending Lenin to Russia in a sealed train. It ended up bringing not only the Emperor of Russia down but the Kaiser and many others as well. Stirling
Turkish foreign policy, codified by Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu, used to be known in shorthand as "zero problems with our neighbors". When Turkey started calling for regime change in Syria, it turned into "a major problem with one of our neighbors" (even tough Davutoglu himself admitted on the record the policy change failed).
Now, in yet another twist, it's becoming "all sorts of problems with two of our neighbors". Enter - inevitably - Ankara's ultimate taboo; the Kurdish question.
