Turkish Foreign Policy Towards Iraq in 2009

Abstract

This article examines Turkish foreign policy towards Iraq in 2009. Turkey’s Iraq policy had been conditioned by mainly security factors. In the last couple of years, however, we have witnessed an increasing use of tools other than security in the formulation of this policy as not only military factors but also trade and other tools of diplomacy have been effectively used by Turkey. The year 2009 witnessed several steps which enabled increasing cooperation between Turkey and Iraq, such as the Iraqi elections. Turkey has continued to develop contacts and start dialogue with different political actors in Iraq and has hosted heads of different ethnic and religious groups in Turkey. An important step that strengthened political and economic relations was the creation of a High Level Strategic Cooperation Council
