Its a very tough situation. Globally speaking, addressing the Middle East was something that had to be done eventually. However, historically, its been addressed with a sledgehammer rather than with a soft touch.
It has been established that nations within unfriendly states will never stop violence unless one of two things happen: they are given sovereignty, or the host state becomes friendly. I don't see the latter happening for the Kurdish in Turkey/Iraq/Iran.
For that reason, there has to be some type of Kurdistan established.
With that, adding a new state will further destabilize the region. Turkey will react most bitterly. However, the question is how bitterly can they react if the formation of a Kurdish state is an EU backed initiative...
As well, it seems no declaration of borders done diplomatically by foreign state actors has ever ended well.
This is a situation that its almost better to be able to sit back and watch, rather than be tasked to fix it.
