Today I am here to speak for the speechless, those who cannot be heard. Kurds in Ukraine cannot be heard because they have no funds to speak for themselves. Not only in Ukraine but in but all around the world there are unheard Kurds. The Kurds have much to offer the world , for ex: women equality, freedom, oil and much more.
Ukraine has a great interest in resolving the Kurd crisis. This affects Ukraine because Ukraine is under the grips of Russia in many ways, but particularly in the area of energy. A free Kudistan would alleviate Europe from dependence on Russia for natural energy sources, more specifically a free Kurdistan would free Ukraine.
I would like to remind you that we are in specpol with no military power to attack Isis or start wars so I suggest that we either find a way to diplomatically solve the crisis with Isis or we can just act as though Isis has or will be dealt with. Ukraine’s solution will not only free the Kurds and give them land but it will also free Europe from the grasps of Russia. If we can give the Kurds land then they will be free there for they are free to make their own decisions, which will let them sell oil to Turkey. And Turkey has oil pipelines to sell to all of Europe including Ukraine. Which would ultimately kill two birds with one stone, This is how Ukraine would like to resolve the problem.
