Iraq and Turkey, as of a few days ago, are making a new agreement for a transport corridor and peaceful coexistence, which includes Iraq getting more reliable access to river water, and Turkey getting more reliable targetting access to Kurds with aspirations of self-rule.

Every regional power seems to periodically crush the population of their sector of Greater Kurdistan, and encourage their neighbors' sectors to start an insurrection.

The US has sacrificed these people over and over again in pursuit of foreign policy objectives.
