Hi bro, I am doing fine.
Poor turkmens are betrayed by Erdogan. It seems that ISIS reached an agreement with kurds and they split northern Iraq between each other. Kurds have also captured Kirkuk and connected its oil production to KRG-Turkey pipeline and started to export it. Erdogan seems to be happy that he would have more oil, even if the oil comes from Turkmen areas that are captured by kurds. Tal Afar, another Turkmen city, i also captured by ISIS. Erdogan did not care again. Erdogan does not care for Turkic brotherhood at all, and these events was another proof. He is a georgian(laz) and his wife is a kurd. He is not a turk and does not care about turks. He is also damaging Turkey's benefits in long term. One needs to be very naive to think that this kurdish oil money would not be converted to arms that are going to be used against Turkish soldiers by PKK.
Paying oil money to kurds = bullets that will be shoot to Turkish soldiers by PKK in the near future
But, Erdogan does not care about it. I wish at least Azerbaijan was more powerful and had the power to support Turkmen, but, unfortunately we are not.

I don't think ISIS agreed to leave North to Kurds, I think they just don't want to be caught in crossfire, they will concentrate on Baghdad first, I can't imagine them leaving oil fields of North to Kurds.

I dont get how the second biggest Turkic country with 30 million people can be in such condition, probably because of incompetent/corrupt officials.

Do they also have natural reccources such as gas or oil?
