The Kurdish-Turkish dynamic is interesting given that the biggest supporter of Kurdish independence in Iraq is Turkey. Not only politically, but by enabling things like financial independence through the Kirkuk-Ceyhan oil pipeline for the KRG to transport and sell oil outside of Iraq&#x27;s SOMO.<p>I understand that Turkish Kurds lean towards the HDP&#x2F;PKK, which is independent from the KDP&#x2F;Peshmerga that the Turkish government supports in Iraq, but it&#x27;s still interesting to try to figure out what Turkey&#x27;s end goal is after all of this.
