All good questions, Whenurhappy, but the only Kurds that Turkey will tolerate are those in other people's back yards (e.g. Iraq, Iran). Turkey does not really recognize different groupings of them, designating most as terrorists. When Turkey invades that border swathe right across northern Syria, which it keeps threatening to do, the target will be Kurds of any affiliation, and they will not like these new aircraft, is all I meant to say.
