Multi-colour map at the link. The Turks really need to consult a designer about their colour choices. [Rudaw] Ottoman Turkish forces have almost 40 "military points" in the Kurdistan Region, including four in Erbil, Duhok, Soran and Zakho cities, according to a map published Monday by the Ottoman Turkish presidency.
Wait — when did they set up shop inside Kurdish cities, and why are they permitted to stay there? The Ottoman Turkish presidency’s Directorate of Communications issued a map late Monday saying it has established 37 "military points" in border areas of the Kurdistan Region and inside the cities of Erbil, Duhok, Zakho and Soran.

...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both.

border areas in the Kurdistan Region. The Ottoman Turkish army also has a base in Bashiqa, in the disputed province of Nineveh, despite multiple calls from Baghdad to withdraw from the area.
Ankara’s presence in the Kurdistan Region has grown significantly in recent decades, particularly since the 1990s.
Rizgar Ersi, a commander of the PKK, told the group’s media this week that Turkey is trying to establish "an occupation corridor" in the Kurdistan Region.
"It is trying to occupy a strip of land that is about 30 to 40 kilometres wide. If it succeeds in this, the attack will continue on a line from Qandil to Shingal and an occupation corridor will be built," he said.
Iraqi border forces in Zakho have set up five bases in "strategic" positions in order to de-escalate festivities between Ottoman Turkish forces and the PKK, as well as prevent civilian losses, a commander said on Thursday.
Hamada Dizayee, Commander of the Iraqi 1st Border Guard unit told Rudaw’s Hiwa Jamal on Monday that Turkey has asked Iraqi border forces to cooperate with them amid Ankara’s ongoing operation in the border areas, located in the Kurdistan Region
"Turkey has asked to build cooperation with us in order to secure the areas on the Iraqi-Ottoman Turkish border," Dizayee said. "We already have cooperation with the Iranian border forces to secure the areas on Iraqi-Iranian borders, and we meet every six months."
Iraqi border forces to cooperate with Turkey to 'secure' border areas
[Rudaw] Iraqi border forces and their Ottoman Turkish counterparts will cooperate to "secure" border areas between the two countries, an army commander has told Rudaw.
Hamada Dizayee, Commander of the Iraqi 1st Border Guard unit told Rudaw’s Hiwa Jamal on Monday that The Sick Man of Europe Turkey

"Turkey has asked to build cooperation with us in order to secure the areas on the Iraqi-Ottoman Turkish border," Dizayee said. "We already have cooperation with the Iranian border forces to secure the areas on Iraqi-Iranian borders, and we meet every six months."
Turkey began fresh air and ground military operations in the Kurdistan Region in mid-June, with the stated aim of removing suspected Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) targets from the area.

s across the Kurdistan Region and Nineveh province on June 15, followed by a ground operation, or Operation-Claw Tiger, on June 17.
Turkey has conducted airstrikes and ground operations against the PKK within Iraq’s borders for years, accusing the federal Iraqi government and Kurdistan Regional Government of failing to take measures against the group.
Kurds make up the majority of members of the Iraqi border forces units stationed in Dohuk province, with some Arab and Turkmen members. The force was established in 2003 and has been based in Duhok province since, according to Dizayee.
"Our only job is to monitor the borders and prevent smuggling across the border," he said.
Zebari told Rudaw on Monday that the main task of their forces is to protect the border with Turkey, in order to prevent the presence of "smugglers" between Iraq and Turkey.
"So far we have not had any issues with the PKK and the PKK has not prevented us from carrying out our duties," Zebari added.
Iraqi security analyst Husham al-Hashimi puts the number of PKK fighters in Iraq, including the Kurdistan Region, at between 8,500 and 10,000, distributed across 81 points and bases.
