"If so, continuous oppressions by foreigners played not the last role in this"

Benda,
I'm not sure that is such a good choice of words you use there. The complexity of nations is far more un-balanced than that. The real problem arises when you start to suggest that modern nations should be split or created on ethnic or a religious basis. Or that all ethinic groups should be recognized as independant and autonomous sovereignties. Its easy to see the strife this would create, where the lack of integration and acceptance of our differences, is the major problem of the world as we know it.
Perhaps its the understanding and acceptance of previous injustices, and a move forward to integration and dignity in differences that is far more important. The issue of the middle east is far too complex to think that simply forming a Kurdistan would in any way pacify such an unstable region.
