The Kurds in Post-Saddam Iraq

Abstract

The Kurdish-inhabited region of northern Iraq is relatively peaceful and prospering economically, but the Iraqi Kurds political autonomy and political strength in post-Saddam Iraq has caused growing threat perceptions in Turkey, Iran, and Arab Iraq. However, the Iraqi Kurds' ties to the United States and the U.S. drive to stabilize Iraq will likely enable the Kurds to parry the threats. This report will be updated. See CRS Report RL31339, Iraq: Post-Saddam Governance and Security, by Kenneth Katzman.
