Of this government. Mr. Ahmadinejad managed to isolate iran diplomatically, and mr. Rouhani is in reality bringing iran out of diplomatic isolation. So, yes, they are succeeding, and the western media is not paying attention. They should. They should, to begin with, start reading what mr. Rouhani has said all over the years. Back in 1999, iran, you know, the Islamic Republic, experienced its most serious political unrest. That was the Tehran University unrest which spread to the entire country. Which politician do you think it was that went to the public and supported the revolutionary guard, and the Police Suppression of the students movement. It was mr. Rouhani.

Some of the kurdish leaders, they just made these statements in the press, we are very disappointed that you didnt defend us against isil. But nonetheless, you know, this is a bit surprising. Theres many people who kind of knew this all along. So i think this is more part of the iraqi kurds have miscalculated, misinterpreted and overstepped how far turkey will go.
