Kurdistan is de facto a small state up against Turkey, much to Turkey's dismay. The largest chunk of kurdish irredentism is in Turkey.
Putin doesn't care what happens with Kurdistan. It isn't what he wants in the area. Israel actively wants an independent Kurdistan. Iraq is sort of inured to the the idea. I would imagine they are tired of fractious minorities, and Kurdistan in on the opposite side of ISIS controlled areas.
When ISIS is finally smashed, when some semblance of peace returns to Syria and Iraq, will there be another new state in the region?
