It sounds to me like this is one of those deals that could be arranged, where the Kurds get their own state, which gives them a stake in keeping the peace, Turkish Kurds are invited to move there, the Western world sets up factories, housing, etc., and the Kurds get to be the buffer between whatever Iraqis remain, and the Turks. Even though there is enmity between the Kurds and the Turks, it's probably almost as resolvable as the enmity between France and Germany. Since they share a common major religion, it's not as comparable to the Israel-Palestine example.
Of course, I don't expect the Turks to give any bargaining chips away so early in the game.
