Kurds Planning De-Arabization of Kirkuk?

I think the subtext for this article is that the Kurds are planning on slowly driving the Arabs out of Kirkuk, but leaving the Turkomen in there, for now at least.
The best way for them to deal with Turkey for now is to encourage the immigration of Turkish Kurds into Iraq. If the Kurdish population in Turkey is reduced, then the Kurds will seem less of a threat to Ankara.
