Despite the fragile situation, if Turkey were to organise autonomy for Kurds in its own borders, northern Iraq, Syria and Iran it would be a heroic act of enormous historical import.

I'm not sure they are "big enough" to see that.

																	is only the tip of the iceberg. In the highly volatile Middle East situation, 
																	Turkey also facilitated contacts between US National Security Advisor Stephen 
																	Hadley and Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki. (The two adversaries 
																	visited Ankara recently.) Furthermore, Turkey has waded into the Iraq project.
