The War Against ISIL, Turkey and Future of Iraqi Kurdistan
Öz
Turkey’s policy towards Kurdistan region of Iraq has been
changed a few times within the last ten-fifteen years.In 2007, the government of AK Party (Justice and Development Party) has shifted
previous attitudes of Turkish state towards the Iraqi Kurds and step by step began
to pursue a moderate and inclusive policy regarding the Iraqi Kurds. Within the
frame of a new approach, Turkey has built tight economic and political relations
with Kurdistan Regional Government. In September 2012, the Kurdistan Regional
Government has been officially invited by AK Party to attend its congress. In 2013
the Prime Minister Erdoğan, welcomed the President Barzani at Diyarbakir very
warmly and Kurdish petrol began to be exported to the international markets at
the same year via Turkey. The close relations between Turkey and Iraqi Kurdistan
concerned both Iraqi Central Government and even USA. In June 2017, because of
the fact that Kurdish authority decided to arrange an independence referendum,
Turkey fiercly opposed that decision and asked Kurds to postpone it for a few years.
When the independence referendum took place on its scheduled time, namely on
25 September, Turkey and Iran closed their air spaces to Kurdistan region. At 16
October of 2017, the Iraqi forces and Popular Mobilization Force (Haşdi Şabi) entered
Kirkuk city and with the fall of Kirkuk, the economic independence of Kurdish
administration fell into danger. After that happened, Turkey began to strengthen
her relations with Iraqi Central Government. Thus a new era began in the relations
of Turkey and Iraqi Kurds
