But there is another big problem in Turkey. North Iraqian people and mostly the Kurds living on north iraq believes that there is a country like kurdistan and fight for their rigths. Turkey lost 30.000 people from terror coming from kurds since the first war(kuwait-iraq)

That seems a little fishy to me.
As an outsider, it seems like Turkey first denied air rights for whatever reasons. Then all of a sudden they allowed air rights, for what seemed like no real reason... as soon as the coalition started using Turkish air space, the Turks crossed the border into Northern Iraq, where the Kurds are.
So basically, it looks like the Turks allowed the coalition to use air space as a sort of decoy, or even a weak bribe, so that the Turks could jump the border.
I just don't understand why the Turks would have suddenly changed their mind about something so critical, all while missing out on billions of dollars.
Seems like they have other motivations...
