How will Turkey and Iran react to an independant Kurdish state on their border?
Africa suffers from the same problem. Tribes are split by borders drawn by Europeans.

IMHO...
In Turkey. PKK would seriously ramp-up operations to "unite" the state. Response by Turkish Military would most likely include COIN operations and larger scale cross-border operations to take out support bases and create a buffer zone...eg. Israel.
In Iran the reaction might be similar, I am not as familiar with the history of the Kurds in that area.
