Or do you not find the idea of Kurdistan surviving with 5 hostile countries landlocking us unrealistic? The prospect of being forced into reliance on our enemy's mercy I find terrifying, not to mention a great impairment of our patriotism. Actually it's already happening in the KRG, with Turkish influence being channeled through countless layers, which range from economy, media, military, etc.
Apart from the lack of a coast, the map posted in the OP is territorially speaking most unsatisfying, and there is not a single valid reason a Kurd can have to support that scrawny map. It doesn't even cover all parts of Dersim, which is personally insulting.
I have a specific question for jjmuneer: Would you be willing to let Wan expire if it were to come down to a conflict between us and the Armenians?
Hell no, Kak azamat you know I sympathize to a extent with Armenians, but at the end of the day I'm a nationalist. I will personally fight, book me a tick to south Kurdistan and fight, with Peshmerga or PKK, makes no difference. Death doesn't frighten me when millions of Kurdish children and women have already died, including my family members.
I understand that we will be land locked, yes we do have historical claim to black sea, through ancient tribes such as Alans, but in terms of importation we can just do it through air. Or just connect with Med sea, through Maras etc. The thing is once we secure eastern Kurdistan, I don't see what Iran could possible do to us, they are technoligcally backwards, if it was total war they'd fall apart within an instant. That comes to the point we could connect to Persian gulf, historical claims there aswell. Obviously I'm speaking hypothetically.
You are right Kak Azamat in terms Armenia and Armenians being very militaristic, but at the same time I don't want a newly formed Kurdistan having a extra enemy against it. Kurds and Kurdistan we generally have a much more valid claim over the lands we claim, through history, language, culture and genetics even.
