Iraqi Kurdistan is on its way to liberation
It seems that the drawn contours of the clashes between the two main alliances of the Middle East are gradually moving away from the “cold war” and are approaching “hot battles".

The creation of an independent and sovereign state of Kurdistan is a topic with a long history and differing visions for how to realise it.
After the US imposed new sanctions on Turkey for carrying out a military operation in the Kurdish territories in Syria, the divergence of interests between Ankara and Washington reached a new level.
Since 1924, Turkey has faced several uprisings in the southeast regions. The first stage continued until 1937.
On the 20th of January, the Turkish military in Syria began operation “Olive Branch”. It involved the participation of 72 aircraft, and the very next day infantry units joined the operation. As the Turkish High Command said, 108 out of 113 marked targets in seven points in the city of Afrin have been hit.
Ankara has declared two days ago that Russia and Iran must stop the entry of Syrian troops into Idlib. According to the Turkish minister for foreign affairs, Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu, president Bashar Al-Assad’s troops are continuing to enter the border territory.
What is more, Çavuşoğlu said that Turkish troops have begun the deployment of a fourth observation post in the largest region of Idlib, which is now under the control of the Syrian opposition.
