The Iraqi Kurdish parties, deleted from the list of US terrorist movements

The US decision to exclude from the list of terrorist organizations, the Kurdistan Democratic Party of Massoud Barzani and the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan of Jalal Talabani was approved by Congress on the grounds that an obstacle to those who wish to visit the American country . In fact, apart from bureaucratic complications for the leaders of the two major organization, they encountered problems actually, the measure constitutes a recognition of the role played by militias belonging to the two parties, both in the war against Saddam, who put the embankment by peshmerga all 'advanced Islamic state. The collaboration between the Iraqi Kurds and the US is now a stable factor in the geopolitics of the area, as to be configured as a true alliance, both military and political. With these assumptions, the reason that kept inside the lists of terrorist organizations, the two parties, was due mostly to reassure Baghdad to avoid a complete support to Kurdish demands to achieve the independence and state sovereignty. But it is no secret that the US has always been favorable to the granting of greater autonomy, albeit still within the state of Iraq, Kurdish ethnicity, which reached a level of self-determination impossible in other states that are home to the Kurds. The same provision that placed the two parties within the terrorist groups had become anachronistic, because it dates back to when the two teams were fighting the regime of Saddam Hussein, at that time considered legitimate.
Moreover both parties are pro-American declared, Barzani has held the position of President of Iraqi Kurdistan, and Talabani, in 2005, was even President of Iraq, charges that without the backing of Washington could not be entrusted to the leader of possible terrorist groups. This move is also a kind of investment by the White House, which aims to further strengthen the cooperation with Kurdish fighters against the caliphate. The contribution in the field of peshmerga was crucial, both to contain the Islamic state, is insufficient to replace the action of the regular army and Iraqi either to avoid the United States to deploy his men on a battlefield so insidious . But this decision could complicate relations between Washington and Baghdad, because the Iraqi capital could represent a kind of tacit approval, but also somehow official, Kurdish aspirations for independence. For now the US have never been shown in an official manner favorable to a division of Iraq, because it is considered a factor in the weakening of the country in front of the caliphate; but it is possible that once solved the problem Washington balances his debt of gratitude to the Iraqi Kurdistan advocating for the establishment of a sovereign state. It will be interesting to check what the Turkish reaction to the US decision: Ankara has repeatedly suggested that the Kurdish problem is more serious than even the Islamic state; it is true that the measure Washington regards formations that do not operate on the ground turkish, but Erdogan definitely not like any concessions to ethnic Kurds, although present in other countries. Turkey does not want the creation of an independent Kurdish state, although outside its borders, because he fears the effect emulation of the Kurdish presence in its territory. This decision, then it could be an obstacle on the relations between Ankara and Washington, which, at the time, not through a good period because of lack of cooperation in the fight against the Turkish Islamic state and the recent measures against press freedom desired by Erdogan, who provoked heavy criticism both from the USA, that from Europe.
