Fascinating turnaround detailed in NYT.
Erdogan's quote:
“Turkey is not a guest,” said Mr. Erdogan, 54, sitting in a cream-colored high-backed chair in his official residence in Ankara, Turkey’s capital. “Everyone who has entered Iraq until now will stay for a while and go away, but we will stay.”“We are the most important door for northern Iraq to open up to the world,” he added. “We are the healthiest door.”
Out of their system, now on to the real business.
