Northern Iraq

After the thing happened today (15 turkish soldier died near Iraq frontier, at the point marked on the picture), I think that, Turkey have to occupy northern Iraq for a while. At least, until there is a more powerfull government in Iraq.

Because, it is almost impossible to make defense at this region due to geographical conditions (lots of mountains).

We shall advance until Kerkuk and Mosoul which are very strategical zones.

I guess nobody will let us do that, because Kerkuk and Mousoul's situation is a very complicated case. (These places are very rich oil zones).

I also belive that the actual frontier designed after WWI is wrong.

You shall research the region history to understand the current situation.

Here is the keywords for your research:
-First World War Ottoman Middle East
-Treaty of Sevres
-Treaty of Lausanne
-Treaty of Sykes-Picot
