Turkey - fighting many battles

The U.S. genocide resolution, passed 27-21 by the U.S. House Committee on Foreign Affairs on Wednesday, states that the Armenian Genocide was conceived and carried out by the Ottoman Empire from 1915 to 1923, resulting in the deportation of nearly 2,000,000 Armenians, of whom 1,500,000 men, women, and children were killed.
Other international genocide recognition has been made from
countries like France, Argentina, Vatican city but also from Kurdistan.

Turkey immediately recalled the Turkish ambassador from U.S. because of the Armenian genocide bill. Since the genocide bill, the Turkish-US relation has since then been bad.
The Turkish president Abdullah Gül warned Bush that the genocide bill would hurt the ties between the countries, now Bush warns Gül not to enter southern Kurdistan (Iraq).

Turkey made their first trespass today when they fired grenades over the border to Iraq.

This genocide bill comes inappropriate for Turkey just as they had plans of (for the first time officially) invade southern Kurdistan. The excuse for invading S.Kurdistan is to fight the PKK guerrilla, but its obvious that Turkey has a hidden agenda.
It is S.Kurdistan they want to crush so that the northern Kurdistan (Turkey) Kurds
wouldn't start fighting again for the Kurdish lands.

The Turkish PM Erdogan has once said:
"We wouldn't accept a Kurdish government, even if it was in Argentina".
