Ankara: Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan has again asserted that Turkish jets have dealt a heavy blow on the outlawed Kurdish rebels' leadership in Iraq, saying some 35 high-level militants were killed.
Addressing crowds during a campaign rally on Thursday, Erdogan said Turkish warplanes recently struck Iraq's Qandil mountain while a group of 35 senior militants were holding a meeting. He did not provide details.
Qandil, near Iraq's border with Iran, is where the Kurdistan Workers' Party, or PKK, maintains its headquarters.
Erdogan said, "We caught them during their leaders' meeting. During this leaders' meeting, we finished off 35 important names."
In Iraq, a PKK spokesman, Serhet Varto, confirmed heavy Turkish airstrikes in the area but denied they had caused any casualties. The claims could not be in verified independently.

Actually this Barzani is considered to be pro Turkey, he should be protected against PUK which is anti Turkey, better of the worse so to say.
You are right. The stupidity Masoud Barzani did was because he said that he will do it before he resign from his post and also the chaotic situation in Iraq on that time but when it comes to PKK Turkey must not trust anyone in the region and do what is needed by herself with or without approvement by the local or the central government. We tasted the treachery over that issue of all our bordering countries except Georgia I think. Combined with the lack of political will over the years we are at that state but I hope this time we will give a critical blow to the terrorists.

Arabization of a land of Arabs sounds logic to me.

Doesn't have to be land of Arabs or anyone. As long as its rulers rule in a just way and enable the ground/environment for opportunities which benefit the locals. Kurdistan is a concept linked to an ethnicity, when they ruled Kirkuk they planted Kurdish flags on every streetpole. What a massive shithole, who wants to walk out of the door to stare upon 5000 national flags?
Kurds still need to progress beyond their nationalism. Iraq has a massive list of problems as well but that's another topic. Still there's no quick solution, PKK won't disappear either just like that as long as Kurds stick to this ideology. I rather avoid them
