No, but we should help to protect their fair political right
@9974C821yr1Y
Yes, as long as it does not provoke or exacerbate unnecessary conflict
@9CJHLWL10mos10MO
Government as a whole should not support groups outside of their country.
@9BZBXTM11mos11MO
Yes, but only to help establish a Kurdish nationalist state with a constitutional autocratic monarchy.

No, a positive diplomatic and economic relationship with states containing large kurdish populations such as turkey and Iraq are more important than the creation of an independent kurdish state
@962KL2Y1yr1Y
Yes, but through dialogue with their neighbours so as to not stoke the fires of resentment
