Have no delusions. When the time comes, the Turks will shed their moderate face and become active Jihadists. They are currently as active as anyone else in the Islamization of Europe. Better to support the Kurds in the break-up of Eastern Turkey.

I agree with Inferno, here. Turkey's moderate mask is quite thin. They are no less fanatic, just more sophisticated.
Kurdistan should be a separate country. That would reduce adventurism amongst Turks.
