"‘US looking to carve Kurdish state from Turkey, Iran and Syria’
ISTANBUL: The Iranian ambassador to Ankara urged Turkey, Iran and Syria to form a joint policy on the Kurdish issue, saying in an interview published on Tuesday that if they did not, “the US will carve pieces from us for a Kurdish state.”
Turkey, Syria and Iran share borders and have large Kurdish populations that separatist militants would like to see as part of an independent Kurdish state. Turkey in particular fears such a scenario, and has been roiled in the past week by anti-state Kurdish riots that have left 15 dead and hundreds injured. "
