Abstract
Given Iraqi Kurds’ special place in Turkey’s ‘biographical narrative’, Turkey-Iraqi Kurdish Regional Government (KRG) relations are not simply strategic or economic but also highly affectively charged. These relations involve emotional encounters filled with anxiety, pride, anger, and disappointment that generate concerns for not only Turkey’s physical security but also its ontological security. This paper traces the emotional context of TurkeyKRG relationship. It suggests that a combination of Turkey’s deep-rooted ‘anxiety’ and ‘hubris’ toward the Iraqi Kurds prevented the emergence of a close partnership between these two actors and fostered merely a ‘fragile rapprochement’ since 2008.

Abstract
Iraklı Kürtlerin Türkiye’nin ‘biyografik anlatıları’ içindeki özel yeri nedeniyle Türkiye-Irak Kürt Bölgesel Yönetimi (IKBY) ilişkileri yalnızca stratejik ve ekonomik değil, aynı zamanda kaygı, gurur, öfke ve hayal kırıklıklarıyla dolu temaslar da içeren duygu yüklü bir ilişki olagelmiştir. Bu çerçevede, IKBY Türkiye’nin yalnızca fiziksel güvenliği için değil, ontolojik güvenliği için de endişe kaynağı olmuştur. Bu makale, Türkiye-IKBY ilişkilerindeki duyguların izini sürerek Türkiye’nin Iraklı Kürtlere karşı geliştirdiği kökleşmiş ‘kaygı’ ve ‘kibir’ duygularının bu iki aktör arasında 2008’den itibaren yakın bir ortaklığın ortaya çıkmasını engellediğini ve ilişkilerin yalnızca kırılgan bir yakınlaşma ile sınırlı kalmasına sebep olduğunu ileri sürmektedir.
