Be careful everybody planning to be in north İraq.
Not sure where to start and what to write..
Noone knows what will happen tomorrow according to agreements between turkey,iran,kurds, usa and russia..
Winds change directions so often same as rented fighting groups do...
Nobody knows what is discussed behind closed doors...
And North Iraq kurds leader Barzani was here 3-4 days ago..
Personal idea and my sixth sense says its a nogo area till mid may according to expectations of locals..Here is some inf. for why....
TR. army will start operations in north ıraq too in a cooperation with north ıraqı kurds and within a few days...
All north ıraq will be under airstrike bombings and firstly west of firat river(menbij area) then east side (kobani area)will be cleared from terrorist groups by military land operations....
Its reported that terrorists groups and işid in the area started wearing USA. military uniforms..
Turkish side of the ıraqi border is completely under military checkings and controls..If you have to be on the road,just obey what you are told by authorities..currently no escort follows but several check points.means several fruit,çay! offers,chat and selfie with soldiers..
Never leave the main road to west and dont travel during night time.Gas stations where trucks,buses give a break are most safe places to stop or spend the night if you have to do..Safety depends completely on being at the right place at the right time...
Insallah,hopefully these holy areas and mesopotamia, the birth place of civilizations will be peacefull,safe, friendly and welcoming again..
God bless all on the roads..
