Iraq-Turkish Relations (2005-2010) APolitical_Economic Study

Abstract

This paper studies the nature of the political & economic relations, which prevailed between Iraq & Turkey after the Iraqi General elections in January, 2005 until 2010. These relations witnessed a great deal of development, especially after Turkey reconsidered its intervening policy in the Iraqi internal affairs; they reached the ultimate level by signing the joint political Declaration Agreement in July 10, 2008, which is regarded as a beginning of a new era for bilateral relations, according to which the supreme strategic cooperation Council between the two countries has been established.
