I don't think an independent Kurdish state from Turkish territory is possible because if it were created this would cause seccesionists in three neighboring countries to seek to join the new state and bring along chunks of Iran, Iraq and Syria. Foreseably an independent Kurdish territory would shelter ethnic brothers seeking to emulate the successful seccesionists. Additionally, this is a rather barren region and its population is very poor, so they'd be worse off than they already are. Furthermore, the region would be landlocked and they'd have to rely on their former 'masters' to have any trade.
