The Fight against PKK Terrorism

If, if, if... As you know Barzani is in great relations with Israel, the US and the West too who protect him, invest in Erbil and train and supply the peshmergas. Russia’s Rosneft signed a deal worth 4bln USD last week to export kurdish oil by a pipeline to Turkey but I guess Erdogan’s actions were really a hurdle for KRG to get in good relations with all the countries you mentioned huh? As for Iran I don’t have an idea what their relations with the Kurds there are.

So you want to tell me that Erdo and his circle got in good relations with Barzani to protect Turkey and not to make money from it (billions of trade, construction, petrol trade and most importantly contraband of everything you can imagine)? If they didn’t then Turks would’ve suffered a lot? :woot: Guess what: I don’t see PKK’s attacks to have stopped or Iraq’s kurds to have stopped the PKK from making bases there, recruit and train terrorists all over Northern Iraq (it’s the opposite- they help and protect them because they have one goal). So did Turkey’s government support for Barzani helped us fight the Kurdish separatists or strengthened them? Think real hard about that.

Thanks to Barzanis invitation, Turkey has a army base in Iraq, otherwise they wouldnt be able to enter, might even receive sanctions like Russia in Krimea when Irago government was against it...
Turkey export 9 billion dollar goods every year to those areas..

Yes, @Kamil_baku has brought up a very important point here that I'd forgotten to mention. Turkey certainly did use Barzani to its advantage in the past to gain a certain level of access and control in Iraq. Yes, he seems to be favoring the Americans/Israelis at this time but nothing's written in stone in international affairs. Personally I expect him to fall back under the Turkish influence again once the current crisis is managed.
 
and how much did we lose when we lost the stability of iraq and how much will we lose if our stability will be lost because of that barzani wich we made big..

This was not only for economy reason....while Irak accepted for decade PKK bases in their country, Turkey helped Barzani to destabilize Irak by permiting KRG to live one thank to the oil money.
Now yes, KRG become a potentiel menace but Irak has much more reason to work with Turkey against PKK too.

Edit :
This is not Syria's situation where AKP's was wrong 100%, but a situation where we take a risk to push Irak to change this policy.

What are you talking about?
Based on agreements from 1995 and 1997 relating to Turkey's anti-terrorist operations against the PKK Turkey maintains a military force of some 2,000 troops in bases some 30 - 40km inside Iraq. Bases are located in different locations along the Turkish border in Dohuk province.
Take a look at the date,way before Erdogan.

The bases and outposts at Bamarni airport and Dersinki and other places in Duhok predate the KRG. Not sure when Turkey started using Bashiqa though.
