Problema kurzilor și a Kurdistanului-scurt exercițiu de analiză și de forecasting
The Kurdish problem - short analysis and forecasting exercise

Summary/Abstract: The text is exploring, first of all, some central aspects of the history of the Kurdish problem, starting with the final years of the First World War. Then it presents the significant results (at least at military level) of the massive involvement, along the past few years, of the Kurds in Syria and Iraq in the large international effort aimed at containing and defeating the so-called Islamic State. The text is also presenting, with some details,the way in which important strategic actors in the West (USA and Germany, for example) have deliberately boosted the military capabilities of the kurdish Peshmerga units. The final conclusion of the study is that the effectiveness of the Peshmerga troops cannot be ignored, and their successes are clearly boosting the Kurdish bid for independence.
