Another counterbalance to Turkey's situation with the Kurds is that the benefits of future memembership in the EU would make Turkey more willing to accomodate the notion of some kind of independent Kurdistan in Iraq.

Turkey accepting an indepentant Kurdistan? I suppose EU membership could ease that hurt, but it would a major concern to them. They view Kurds as terrorists. They're our good guys, but to the Turks, they're a major threat. Plus, theorizing an indepentant Kurdistan presupposes an Iraqi civil war.
