I saw the border that you wanted to establish, but it would have ended with Turkey taking almost all Bulgaria and parts o Greece too (including Thessaloniki). isn't it a bit too much? As far as the eastern border is oncerned, well,in northern Iraq, mainly populated by Curds and rich in oil , where now you're fighting terrorism is a very difficult area. Now you've invaded it if you tied to possess it then you would propably receive attacks form th erest of iraq too, who is of course interested in that area. And I don't think Turkey should engage herself in a war against Iraq.
