AHC: Independent Kurdistan

Your challenge with a POD no eariler than 1945 is to create an independent Kurdish State that includes territory from either OTL Iraq, Iran or Turkey.
Bonus points: If the state includes land from all three contries.

Side Note: I known that the easier PODs would be right after WW1, but I want for PODs after WW2 to make it more interesting.

Personally, i think a rebellion that can somehow succeed. Or Soviets invade Turkey during 1946 and puppeting them, while forcing them to release Kurdistan as well.

Now when you say rebbellion in which country to you think it would ne most likely to succeed? I was thinking in a more chaotic Iranian Revolution, the Iranian Kurds could set up their own state.

Oh, i was thinking Kurdistan from Turkey, i forgot about the Kurds in Iran. Yours is a good idea, actually.
 
Perhaps if someone besides Clinton succeeds Bush? The Kurds were our allies in Iraq, and this ensures they won't get genocided. Besides, Syria has supported terrorism, and the US only has ties to Turkey thanks to NATO, which we don't need with the Wall gone.
 
Churchill said in the 20s that creating Iraq was one of the biggest mistakes of British foreign policy....so in the wake of WW1 some of eastern Turkey and the Kurdish areas of Iraq and that corner of Syria are made in to Kurdistan. Not much leverage to take any of Persia. Might compensate Turkey with a bit of Syria, and make "Iraq" an entirely Arab entity.

Remember most of the states of the Middle East were created as a result of the Sykes-Picot agreement which cut up the Ottoman Empire between the French & Brits, so making Kurdistan very doable at that time. with it being a close client of the Brits...very survivable, and with the oil around Mosul economically viable.

I asked for a pod no earlier than 1945 so this dosen't work. Thanks for responding anyway.
