According to Mohammad Salami’s analysis, Turkey’s potential peace talks with the PKK, led by President Erdoğan, carry significant implications for the Kurdistan Region of Iraq (KRI). These negotiations could foster Kurdish unity and boost economic development, particularly by easing cross-border trade and reducing regional instability. However, Salami highlights that internal divisions between the KDP and PUK, as well as Turkey’s strategic interests, may complicate the path forward. The outcome will largely depend on how these political and geopolitical dynamics evolve, influencing the stability of Iraq and KRI’s relations with neighboring states.
