Dividing up Land

[HyeJinx1984]

As it occasionally happens, me and my step father got into another long conversation about politics and the middle east. Today's topic was, once America is through with Iraq, more than likely there will be a civil war, since a civil war was coming anyway. To make a long story short, he came to the conclusion that after such a civil war Iraq would be divided up into various countries: Kurdistan and Assyria in the North, two seperate counries where the Suunis and the Shiites could live side by side but no longer need to be in eachothers faces, and a smaller portion off to the west that would maintain the name "Iraq"

Now, I don't know where he's getting this, since most people have a tendency to pull stuff out of their ass when talking politics, but I've got two questions now.

1) Is that even possible? and 2) Would Kurdistan and Assyria be allies to Armenia?

i dont know but you can bet assyria and syria wont get along.

Hyejinx, if Iraq does not get divided then most likly the 20 million Kurds in Turkey will divide Turkey. Kurdistan will form because of the LARGE Kurdish population in that region, now, the only question is who is going to take the territorial hit? If it is not Iraq then most likly it will be Turkey and once this happens I hope Armenians are ready to take back what is theirs.

'Ready' as in a good thing right?

In any case, it will most likely be Iraq that gets divided up, not Turkey, since Turkey is America's best friend right now (for some reason).

By the same token, if Iran is next, and a lot of people I know seem to think so, the same thing will happen there... if that happens, then Turkey will actually grow since there is a huge Turkish population in Iran.

Well, I mean ready as in "prepared". If this happens and Armenians are still struggling with domestic economic and political issues, then no, Armenians will be again left behind when the major geopolitical shifts (I.E. WW1, WW2, and etc.) occur.

%25 of Iran population is Azeri Turks, most people from Turkish border to Tehran speak Turkish. But they have no real intention to unite with Turkey,etc. Actually they are Azeri and the place where they live is called as South Azerbaijan officially by Iran.
About Kurds in Turkey, although their homeland is southeastern Turkey most of Kurds live in western cities and Istanbul become the biggest Kurdish city in the world
Most of Kurds have no real intention to seperate with Turkey, they claim from the Turkish government to accept their cultural identity and improve economic conditions.

It is not true to compare Iran with Iraq since Iran is a real state with all institutions and it is not easy for US to to invade Iran. Some of Iranians don't like the islamic regime but they are so nationalist that they don't make cooperation with US to invade their country like Iraq.

About "USA-Israel-Turkey axis"
There is no real axis like that, it is more likely a conspiracy theory.
Turkey and USA are close allies but not as you imaginate. Remember how Turkish parliement closed Turkish territories to US soldiers even US offered 35 billion$ to for it.
TurkeyIsrael relations are good with both historical and political relaitons. But AKP, ruling party is hardly critisizing Israel policy against Paleistinians and our relations are not so close nowadays.

yes, next time Iran will be free because they hold %10 of world oil reserves like Iraq, Kuwait is already a puppet state, Saudis' must be free too since they hold the biggest portion of oil reserves (about %25)
Venezuella holds an important portion too, so US must free them from Chavez
