About one-third of Turkish territory in the vicinity of Syria, Georgia, Armenia, Iran, and Iraq is inhabited by Kurdish people.

(Smith, 2009, 91) Ethnic Kurdish people's rebelliousness against Iraq government began in 1920 and continued until the formation of Kurdistan Regional Gov- ernment (KRG) after 2003.
In 1991, determination of "no fly zone" policed by the USA, Britain, France and Turkey was es- tablished in Iraq territory, predisposed a situation for Kurdish oppositions, Kurdish Democratic par- ty (KDP) led by Barzani and Patriotic Union of Kurdistan( PUK) led by Jalal Talebany to dismiss Iraqi forces from Kurdish inhabitant areas.
