replies: text: Well, according to Herodotus some Median tribes were not of Iranian origin. The Busae tribe (meaning aboriginals) and the Magii tribe were the two he identified. Pinar 05:04, 19 Oct 2004 (UTC)
replies: text:  Herodotus' writings are not scientific and thrustworthy. Serious historiography and archaeology shows that Medians were completely an Iranian group, speaking an Iranian language close to Persian. Kurds are just one of the groups of Median origin. Actually the whole of population of northern and western parts of today's Iran is Median (i.e. Iranian) in origin.

message: The claims mentioned below are obviously opinions, not facts. Please don't present them as such:
"...and is opposed by the surrounding nations as it will destabilize the already troubled region."
"...and would significantly destabilise the region as declared in a uniform statement by all the countries involved in a uniform statement."
I don't care if the material is "declared by the regional goverments". These governments are part of the conflict and of course not in any way neutral. Present the above as a POV or I'll remove it. Stereotek 09:24, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)

text: Not quite. "Nobody knows what will happen" is clunded by uncertainty. As discussed below will destabilise more than certain.  Cat chi? 17:04, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: Kurdish POV is still POV. That I will gladly remove. Mind that the independece thing is in the article in my version as its a relevant claim of some Kurds, believed to be a minority but there is no basis on how many Kurds want independence. When you think about it. The support rallies in turkey combined do not have 1 million people. Believe it or not Kurds often rally to support PKK within Turkey.Participation does not exeed thousands on seperate cities combined. It isnt as popular as Kurds made western media believe.
