The author presumes that the existence of PKK and autonomous Kurdistan were factors which significantly influenced American- Turkish relations and were one of the main reasons why Turkey didn't support the American invasion of Iraq in 2003. Since the end of the First World War the Kurds were an important factor for international relations and the period chosen by the author is from this point of view the most interesting one. During this period both of Gulf Wars occured which had a big impact on the development of the Kurdish question. Both Turkey and the United States took part in these conflicts both directly or indirectly and played their own roles in the Kurdish question. The author investigates how much those different roles influenced the Middle East and the Kurdish people.

This assumption is verified by comparison of the situation of human rights of the Kurds in the time, when Turkey was admitted candidate status and situation at present. The comparison will be based primarily on the Regular Report on Turkey's Progress Towards Accession for the year 1998 and the Regular Report on Turkey's Progress Towards Accession for the year 2009.
