Abstract
Iraq, since its political existence as a State from 1921 until today, has been concerned with the issue of Kurdish autonomy and its borders in the north of the country. The KRG was formed in 1991 with the declaration of a no-fly zone by the United Nations, but with the fall of Saddam in 2003 entered a new phase in which it was able to infiltrate Iraq and use the ten years of regional government experience to draft a constitution. Have active, The government has emerged as an active partisan in Iraq's political activities and programs since the 2005 elections, and has sought independence from Iraq since 2007, resuming disputes and tensions with the central government.
The efforts of the Kurdistan Region for independence from Iraq, in addition to affecting the national security and political stability of Iraq, can also affect the regional and internal security of neighboring countries, including Iran and Turkey. This caused Iran-Turkey relations to move towards a temporary coalition, especially after the referendum on the independence. The importance of the issue is such that the geographical proximity and the extent of political-economic and cultural interactions of neighbors, as well as their mutual vulnerability have made it possible to assess the security and insecurity in this region in an undeniable way. Accordingly, the present study will use a descriptive-analytical method to investigate the process of independence of the Iraqi Kurdistan region and the approach of Iran and Turkey to it.
