Chapter 663 Tragic Kurdish

Kurds, like Arabs, Turks, Persians, Jews, etc., are one of the oldest ethnic groups in the Middle East with a long history. There are currently about 30 million Kurds in the world, mainly living in the Kurdistan region, including eastern and southeastern Turkey, northwestern Iran, northern Iraq, and northeastern Syria, covering an area of ​​about 400,000 square kilometers. The Kurdistan Autonomous Region is located in northern Iraq.

In the war-torn Iraq, the Kurdistan Autonomous Region has the best development opportunities. The Kurds, who have been suppressed by Turkey, Iran, and Iraq all the year round, have the best Kurdistan in modern times in the Kurdistan Autonomous Region of northern Iraq. The timing of the founding of the country.

However, the Kurds in Turkey and Iran have long been oppressed by high-handed policies.

In Iraq, the Kurds in the Kurdistan Autonomous Region also face many difficulties in establishing a state.

Regardless of the worrying combat effectiveness of the current Iraqi government forces, before the emergence of the Future Technology Group, it has always been difficult to deal with the growth of the Islamic State and the Kurdish armed forces.

But once the Kurds in the Kurdistan Autonomous Region want to establish an independent state, it will definitely cause a huge backlash across the Middle East.

Even Saudi Arabia, which is seriously at odds with Iraq, Iran, Syria and other countries, will not sit back and watch the Kurds establish a state.

Not to mention Turkey, a NATO country. Once the Kurds are established, Turkey must be the first to send troops to kill the Kurds.

Therefore, even the Kurds, who have absolute autonomy in northern Iraq, have never dared to easily establish a country under the premise of having a strong military strength.

At present, no force or country is willing to poke such a super powder keg, and even the United States will not weigh the pros and cons of this.

Thirty million Kurds have always been scattered in various parts of the Middle East, whether it is politics or seeking a way out. All extremely difficult.

This kind of all-round blockade and suppression. Few of the Kurds made it to the top because there was no chance for them to make it.

Thanks to a little support from the Iraqi government and the previous US government, the Kurdish armed forces began to have a relatively small force in northern Iraq. decisive military power.

The armed forces in the Kurdistan Autonomous Region, although there is no air force. Naturally, there is no navy, but based on the armed contest with China, it has also created an army with good combat effectiveness.

However.

Unfortunately, the Kurds are not a highly united people. Compared with the other three races in the Middle East, the Kurds are more capable in intrigue.

From the time of Saddam Hussein. The Kurds have many opportunities to grow and develop in northern Iraq.

But every opportunity is just seized. When rights are established, almost all of them are destroyed in their own struggle for power.

The current Kurdistan Autonomous Region is almost like this, with nearly 300,000 Kurdish armed forces. In fact, it is in the hands of three Kurds.

What these three people do most often is not to work hard for the establishment of the Kurds, but to concentrate power, and they have always been intriguing.

The three forces act on the three provinces of the Kurdistan Autonomous Region respectively. These three provinces have been the three northern provinces of Iraq controlled by the Kurds since the Gulf War and were planned as the Kurdistan Autonomous Region.

Each province has nearly 3 million Kurds, and the regular armed forces have all reached the scale of 100,000.

The independent economic system has almost no rights disputes with the Iraqi government, and even often has some frictions and conflicts with the Iraqi government forces.

Therefore, although this region has not really established an independent country, in fact, it is not much different from going out and establishing a country independently.

This is also the main reason why the Iraqi government defines the Kurdish armed forces as rebels.

And this name has been around since Saddam Hussein's time. At that time, tens of millions of Kurds in Iraq fought against Saddam Hussein's rule under the instigation of Britain and the United States.

However, due to the lack of actual support from Britain and the United States, Saddam's National Guard quickly suppressed it easily. In order to give Kurds a little pain, Saddam also used biological and chemical weapons in places where Kurds gathered, causing a large number of Kurds. people die.

At that time, tens of millions of Kurds frantically poured into Turkey, and finally, with the final intervention of various countries and the United Nations, the Kurdistan Autonomous Region was established.

Saddam was naturally not reconciled. The all-round blockade of the Kurdistan Autonomous Region at that time often had fierce armed conflicts with the Kurdish militias at that time, and he regarded these Kurdish armed forces as anti-government forces.

So far, the conflict between the two sides has actually never stopped.

Although the Saddam government has disappeared into the long river of history, the Iraqis still have not forgotten the three provinces occupied by the Kurds in the north.

You must know that the three provinces in the north are the main agricultural and animal husbandry bases in Iraq, and the places close to the Mesopotamia are the best natural pastures.

The Iraqis who have lost the three northern provinces have experienced obvious changes in their lives. The biggest change is that almost all food is imported, which makes the cost of living rise sharply.

In the Kurdistan Autonomous Region, however, because of the abundant water resources and fertile land, the life of the Kurds is getting better and better.

Therefore, the Iraqi government has always been obsessed with these three important grain-producing provinces.

However, recently, the Kurds in the Kurdistan Autonomous Region have had a hard time.

It can even be said to be very difficult. The Iraqi government completely cut off all passages to the north, banned the provision of any goods and basic public services, and made the three northern provinces almost isolated from the world.

However, Iran and Turkey have long separated the Kurds in the country from the Kurds in the Kurdistan Autonomous Region, and they do not allow exchanges at all.

What is truly tragic is that the Kurds, always the most important source of emergency, are in a huge crisis.

Occidental Petroleum Corporation has always owned the right to exploit oil in the Kurdistan Autonomous Region. In this land, the proven oil reserves are more than 4 billion barrels, and these oils have always been exploited by Occidental Petroleum Corporation.

Occidental Petroleum Corporation is a centuries-old energy monopoly in the United States with a market value of hundreds of billions. However, the recent plunge in oil prices has also caused a rapid decline in oil mining profits.
