In today’s dynamic global political and economic landscape, a deep understanding of bilateral relations between nations is more essential than ever. Türkiye-Iraq relations hold strategic significance not only in the region but also globally. As a key regional actor, Türkiye has been actively engaged in combating the PKK terrorist organization in Iraq, while also strengthening security cooperation, boosting economic ties, and promoting cultural exchange.
New Horizons in Türkiye-Iraq Relations offers a comprehensive analysis of the historical, political, military, and economic links between the two countries. Prepared under the coordination of Anadolu Ajansı, this publication examines key issues from multiple perspectives, including counterterrorism efforts, transboundary water management, relations with the Kurdistan Regional Government, Türkiye’s evolving security doctrine, and the Development Road Project.
With contributions from leading academics and researchers, the book offers an in-depth exploration of the historical, political, and security dimensions of Türkiye-Iraq relations. It also highlights the forms of cooperation needed to foster lasting regional peace. Gaining insight into Türkiye’s strategic role in the region and its multifaceted relationship with Iraq is essential not only for scholars and policymakers but also for the public.
