The Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) has become a complex puzzle. On one hand, it has paved the way for Turkey’s illegal and military presence, which has led to insecurity and conflict in Iraq over the years, resulting in the displacement of thousands of displaced civilians and the evacuation of hundreds of villages. In the 1980s, Massoud Barzani allowed the PKK to establish itself in areas close to the Turkish border, and now the PKK has become the most important security problem for the KRG and the people, especially in the villages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Turkey is doing all its best to expand its influence and, if possible, to\nimplement its main projects, the annexation of Mosul and Kirkuk. Barzani’s very\nwarm economic and family ties with Turkey have made it easier for Turkey to\ninfiltrate. Turkey is also very active in the KRG through the media. The\ntranslation and broadcasting of Turkish serials on TV channels has caused\nexperts to take its negative impact on families very seriously, but the main\nnews channels of RUDAW and KURDISTAN24 are no exception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ahmad Balayi, an expert on political issues in the Kurdistan Region, is\namong those who criticize the Kurdistan Region’s approach. “The KRG is\ngenerally influenced by Turkish politics and, in principle, has no independence\nof action,” he told the Iranian Kurdistan Human Rights Watch (IKHRW).\n“If we look carefully, when there are clashes between Kurdish armed groups\nand the Turkish army in Turkey, RUDAW and KURDISTAN 24 only refer to the\nkillings of Kurds and suggest that the Turkish army is invincible and will\nnever killed nor injured,” he said. . \u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ahmad Balayi noted: “The RUDAW and KURDISTAN24 channels are in the\nservice of promoting Turkish policies in the Kurdistan Region. Their goal is to\ninstill and promote anti-Kurdish sentiment in Turkey. Of course, in recent\nyears, the issue of the Syrian Kurds has also been added to their list. They behave\nas if they were Turkish government’s channels but in Kurdish.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This political expert considers the future of the Kurdistan Region under\nthe influence of Turkish politics as dangerous and urges the KRG officials not\nto rely on Turkey any more because Turkey is hostile to all Kurds, whether in\nTurkey, Iraq or anywhere else.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
