We keep having these problems in Iraq because the Maliki government is hopelessly corrupt and a puppet of Iran. Doesn't it seem like the current Iraqi leadership is incapable of bridging the sectarian divide at all? As an Iraqi-American who left Kirkuk many years ago, I'm eagerly supporting Ayad Jamal Aldin and his Ahrar Party. I want a secular and free Iraq. Sayyid Ayad believes in healing old ethnic wounds and his party is made up of Iraqis from all groups. He is the only candidate who will make Iraq secure and not endanger the upcoming US troop pullout. I finally have hope again!

If it is not a kurdish city, why Iraqi government did cut Taza, Jamjamal, Kefre from kirkuk. Also, why as kurd we where not allowed to sale our properties to a kurdish citizien, even if he is your brother, and why we where as kurds not allowed to have any jobs in kirkuk city, and why government spent millions to bring arabs to kirkuk.
if you think who ever speaks turkman languge is a turkman your are wrong, 90% of whom speaks turkman are kurds from turkman mother.
I am sure hardy you find any kurds or turkman in kirkuk without having any close kurdish or turkman relative.
It looks like you forget Kirkuk city, remeber Tappa, rahem owa, Shorja, Shwan, sasset Taaran, and others …which are are kurdish area.

When did Kirkuk become a kurdish city. I lived in Kirkuk from 1948-1968 in Moosalla and Qasabkhana the majority were Arabs and Turkomans. Thekurds were around Tappa only.
