Turkey already signaling a certain willingness to connect the Kurds in Iraq

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.

Mr Erdogan should have said "any one entered Mezopotamya stayed for a while and then go such as Romans, Persians, Alexander the great, exceptionaly Ottomans and their desendants Turks still here but how long? "
