Kurdish leaders are trying to negotiate an autonomy agreement with Baghdad.

The British had created quite a powerful Kurdish leader through their financial support.

Kurdish leaders say now that is all they really want.

Kurdish leaders say they are merely taking back land that was stolen from them over four decades.

Now, after their strong performance in the elections last month, Kurdish leaders are for the first time spelling out specific demands.

And Kurdish leaders contend that even this minimal assistance will soon end.

During the 19th century, the area was controlled by local Kurdish leaders.

"Where is the body of the dead Kurdish leader?"

Kurdish leaders should in turn stop being antagonistic to all things Turkish.

But since then, Kurdish leaders have gone all-out to establish economic and political relations with "our friends to the north."
