When I went to Iraq, my passport received a “Kurdistan Regional Government” stamp.
They already have a mostly autonomous government.
Thanks for the clarification.
I just see an ominous cloud whenever I see “Kurdistan” with some kind of a capable army, “Semi autonomous Region”, Southern Turkey, Northern Iraq, and certain very important parts of Syria all combined with total chaos in the region.
The (mostly) Autonomous-Iraq part has been there for a while (wasn’t Saddam using nerve gasses on those nasty Kurds...oh, sorry, I forgot, he didn’t have any WMD’s). The Kurds seem to be an island of stability there.
Syria is a total mess, not sure how Bashir feels about Peshmergas fighting his enemies.
Turkey, however..., THAT is another story.
I’ll get the pop-corn and beers...
Wish you well
