M: This is an outline of Kurdistan plans, its not an event in the same way, but going to be used as a reference point hence the rp tag/M
The decades of ongoing conflict between the Turks and Kurds has dragged on, and continues to drag on with no end in sight. Erdogan as President continued his attacks against the Kurds, which drew issues between Turkey and many supporters of the Kurds including Germany, who levied arms sanctions against Turkey because of the weapons being used against Kurdish forces.
Unlike his predecessor, Kılıçdaroğlu, has drafted a plan for peaceful co-existence. A potentially large step away from what most Turks have considered, but potentially one that best suits the country while giving up very little. With the Kurds elevation in status in both Syria and Iraq, while Syria and Iraq find themselves in turmoil, there is an opportunity to create something new.
Kılıçdaroğlu has begun drawing plans for the creation of a Kurdish Autonomous Republic (KAR), which has been inspired by the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic. Below is the critical information regarding the Kurdish Autonomous Republic.
- The KAR would retain an Autonomous parliamentary republic government similar to what is currently operating in Iraqi Kurdistan.
- Iraqi Kurdistan would be recognized at its fullest extent.
- Rojava will be recognized at its fullest extent. The Turkish occupied parts of Rojava will be handed over to Rojava, while we will maintain our presence in the West.
- Iraqi Kurdistan and Rojava will come under one government of KAR, with democratic elections setting up the foundation of an united Kurdistan
- KAR while autonomous would be under Turkey, similar to how Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic is under Azerbaijan and Iraqi Kurdistan is under Iraq.
- While KAR will be able to have some degree of diplomatic relations, there will be no military relations as this must be conducted through Turkey.
- While Turkey will not interfere with the internal policies of KAR, there will be several allowances made for Turkey. 1) KAR can not declare independence nor hold a referendum on its independence. 2) Turkish bases will be allowed to be dispersed throughout KAR, though permission for Turkish personnel to leave the bases will need KAR government approval. 3) All Kurdish military forces will be merged into one professional Self-Defense Force that explicitly is SDF. Equipment will be provided by Turkey, as well as training, but active military units will be merged into the Turkish command structure and deployed as part of Turkish Armed Forces.
- KAR will formally give up all land and political claims on Turkish held land. All Kurdish terrorist groups like the PKK, will need to give up all land claims on Turkey and end their terrorist attacks on Turkey.
- The Kurdish population of Turkey will be encouraged to set up life in KAR, but will not be forced to.
- Turkey will help with the development of KAR, with commerce being free flowed as if the KAR is part of Turkey, though it is an autonomous republic.
While this is an ambitious plan, Kılıçdaroğlu hopes to work on this as a means of bringing peace in the Middle East and be a vast improvement over Erdogan's failed buffer zone project. While this plan would cause problems with Syria and Iraq, there is a firm belief that Turkey will have the power and backing to be able to form the KAR despite their protests. The bigger issue is if the Kurds will agree to the terms.
