Should Turkey help the Iraqi Turkish (the Turkmen) ?

Yes absolutely. Because;

1- Politically; Kurds there and USA supporting them playing dirty tricks. For the safety of their oil fields US can do everything. They can support a country one day and invade the other. We saw that before. Now they are ally with Turkey but i wouldn't be surprised if they support PKK and Kurds to have their own puppets on the location.

2-Historically; these places have always been Turkish. Still the population is mainly Turkmen despite Barzani's all effort to transfer more Kurds to the cities.
In past it has been a very difficult subject. Musul and Kerkuk was in Ataturk's new Turkey map but unfortunately he couldn't succeed.

3- Culturally; we still sing Kerkuk songs. As a detail they have a special style. I can say if it is a Kerkuk song as soon as i hear. They are our brothers.We are connected with them.

I don't know if that will create a second Cyprus or not, but Turkey must help. Cyprus is not our fault remember. Leaving our Turkmen brothers to Kurds will be a treachery to our history.

TURKEY FOREVER

Mossoul , Erbil and Kirkouk are turkish cities that we unfortunately lost at the end of WW1, but we will never give up our brothers who need our help...

If they are not terrorist, why not?

There is not a country called Kurdistan.

* I don't care about their claiming, don't write Kurdistan here.

i think yes don't let be like the Cyprus where the British and Americans sold the Greek island just in case their bases were kicked out of northern turkey!!

Yes, of course yes...Its only a timing matter, decision of politicians has been waited. The Head of Turkish General Staff explained in a very clear way, and Turkish Army is ready for this duty.

Yes we'll help them. You better run up to the mountains now.

If they ask help of Turkey, Turkey should... If not, it would be like us going in and helping them as if we have an interest there like we want something from them. Even if we don't have an interest, or something we want, in the international community we will be perceived like this. I think this is a very sensitive decision that needs to be made by weighing
1) Turkey's interests
2) Turkey's perception in the world community
3) relations with other countries (including ones that does not want us there for their own interests)
4) costs (both money and lives)
5) the sincerity of the Turkmen population
