My latest analysis for @RudawEnglish on why #Kurdistan Region’s unity and stability serve #Türkiye’s regional vision, and Ankara’s potential role as a mediator between the KDP and PUK, much like the support both parties provide to Ankara’s peace process.

In an interview to @Channel8English, I explained how #Türkiye-Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (#PUK) relations have been reshaped through key reciprocal moves/shared policies and addressed the potential long-term strategic shift in Ankara-#Sulaymaniyah ties.

📌Irak’ta başbakan adayı Zeydi, siyasi geçmişi, partisi, kitlesi ve milisleri olmayan, sokağın değil, iç-dış dengenin belirlediği bir isim
📌ABD-İran baskısı, savaşın seyri, milisler gündeminde
📌Türkiye ile ilişkilere ise daha fazla önem vermesi beklenebilir
@AAGorus’e yazdım.

The PUK handing over the governorship post to the Ankara-backed Iraqi Turkmen Front in Kirkuk is a clear sign that Türkiye and PUK recalibrate their long strained ties.

For more you can revisit my recently published piece on the issue.👇

My latest analysis for @turkiyetodaycom on how Iran's ongoing war could offer a rare window of opportunity for Türkiye and PUK to recalibrate their traditionally strained relations in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq (KRI).

A generation in Iraqi Kurdistan grew up resisting the Baath regime’s Anfal/chemical attacks. Now, the children of that generation are under indiscriminate attacks by Iran and Iran-backed/Baghdad-funded Iraqi militias. For this generation, these attackers are the new Baath.

[Dr. Shokhan/Şohan Aydoğan @QaderShokhan]

My latest analysis for @RudawEnglish on why the attack on Kurdistan Region President Nechirvan Barzani’s residence ring an alarm bell in Iraq.
This is a new threshold for the same coercion policy but the Region needs to take crucial steps.👇🏻
