"According to news just out on the Daily Times, the US says that Turkey has a right to defend itself:“Turkey, like every country, has a right and an obligation to defend itself and its people,” the US said in a statement issued by its embassy in Ankara. It followed harsh remarks on Tuesday by Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who said that US support for Israeli offensives against militants in Lebanon and the Gaza Strip while it opposed Turkish action in Kurdish-populated northern Iraq constituted double standards.
If Israel has the right and obligation to defend itself and its people, and if Turkey has the right and obligation to defend itself and its people, then Kurdistan has the right and obligation to defend itself and its people."
