Erbil International Airport (IATA: EBL, ICAO: ORER), is the main airport of Erbil city in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. Erbil International Airport is centrally located on the Silk Road of the Airways. Following the liberation of Iraq in 2003, the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) decided to transform Erbil's former military base into a modern civil aviation airport to serve as a major gateway to the world. Erbil International Airport (EIA) officially opened on July 7, 2005, and it welcomed its first IATA carrier on 11th December 2006. The KRG has enacted favorable rules to attract foreign investors and to help citizens of the Kurdistan Region in exile return home. Domestic traffic, as well as regional traffic throughout the expansive Middle East, is growing. Kurdistan's great natural resources of oil, natural gas and other minerals are creating a flourishing and rapidly growing business environment. Kurdistan is previously in exile are returning, bringing with them connections to other lands. There is an ever stronger need for efficient air transport, for passengers as well as cargo. The Erbil area has a stable water supply, and is surrounded by scenic and accessible wilderness lands, with greenery, clean streams, waterfalls and caves. This stands in stark contrast to other Middle Eastern destinations,and visitors will fuel an important tourism industry in Kurdistan. These are some of the reasons that the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) and EIA have constructed and equipped an airport for the future, with capacity for three million passengers, and one of the world's longest runways, designed to accommodate the Airbus A380 and cargo aircraft of that class. The airport is the culmination of the vision and strategy put in place in 2003.

An oil-fuelled economic boom has led to a dramatic rate of development in the capital of Iraq's semi-autonomous Kurdish region over the past decade.
Tall apartment blocks have sprung up along the side of the roads and many Kurds and visitors pass their time in large shopping malls.
''Day by day, one can see new developments - either at the level of construction or the establishment of nice malls," said Iraqi Azhar Hassan, one of the many domestic tourists attracted to the region.
Their economic strength has enabled the Kurds to consolidate their autonomy and increase their leverage against the central government in Baghdad.
Since the war, the Kurds mostly benefited from being part of Iraq.
With American prodding, the country's Shiites made major concessions in the 2005 constitution, recognising Kurdish autonomy and allowing the Kurds to keep their own security force when other militias were dismantled.
Shiites also accepted a Kurd as president of predominantly Arab Iraq.
But though Kurdish leaders say they want to remain part of Iraq for now, increasingly acrimonious disputes with Baghdad over oil and territory might just push them toward separation.
Irbil's governor Hadi Nawzad said the region will benefit from new oil and gas fields.
''Refineries have been set up in Irbil and Sulaimaniyah. The oil fields and gas in Kurdistan will be linked via an under-construction pipeline to Turkey and Europe," he said.
Officials say that pipeline could be complete by next year, laying the economic base for independence.
For now, the Kurds can't survive without Baghdad; their region is eligible for 17 percent of the national budget of more than $100 billion, overwhelmingly funded by oil exports controlled by the central government.
In the decade since US-led forces invaded Iraq, Kurds have trained their sights toward Turkey and the West, at the expense of ties with the still largely dysfunctional rest of the country.

ERBIL, Kurdistan Region—A US passenger plane made a crashing landing near Erbil Saturday morning which according to local officials was due to technical failure.
The plane N6351V registered by the US government under the army landed in an open field near the town of Kawrgosk 37 km west of the capital Erbil and 10 Km from the international airport.
Rudaw correspondent near the site said that US army helicopters evacuated four passengers who were aboard the plane.
Around 30 US soldiers arrived and sealed off the area.
An eye witness who saw the crash landing told Rudaw, “The plane was flying very low and its propellers were not working. When it landed American soldiers came soon afterwards and searched the area. They took away the passengers,”
In the video you can clearly see several unusual antennae sprouting from the top of the aircraft, most prominently a large white dome. The aircraft is a Beechcraft King Air and according to Rudaw carried four passengers.
The troops seen in the video are clearly US special forces, perhaps Delta Force, indicating this plane and/or it’s passengers were important enough to warrant launching a Spec Ops retrieval mission.
We don’t know why the aircraft came down nor do we know who was onboard; however, we can make an educated guess at who was operating the flight and what it was doing.
The big clue is found in those unusual antennae which indicates a SIGINT (Signals Intelligence) role. There is a branch of US Army Special forces that flies Beechcraft King Air planes specially outfitted with SIGINT gathering equipment and it appears highly likely that is what we are seeing on the ground in Iraq.
The unit which operate these aircraft is called the ISA (Intelligence Support Activity) or just ‘The Activity’ to those in the know. The ISA has been at the forefront (although very much in the background) of most of America’s special operations since the early 80s.

The Kurdish-controlled region in northern Iraq is struggling to cope with a massive influx of displaced people after advances by fighters from the Islamic State group. Up to 1.2 million people have moved into the area in recent weeks.
It is a security challenge for the Kurdistan regional government which has also been accused of discriminating against some ethnic and religious groups.

Kurdistan
Kurdistan /ˌkɜːrdɪˈstɑːn/ (Kurdish: [ˌkurdɪˈstan]; "Homeland of the Kurds or Land of the Kurds"; also formerly spelled Curdistan; ancient name: Corduene) or Greater Kurdistan, is a roughly defined geo-cultural region wherein the Kurdish people form a prominent majority population, and Kurdish culture, language, and national identity have historically been based. Kurdistan roughly encompasses the northwestern Zagros and the eastern Taurus mountain ranges.
Contemporary use of the term refers to four parts of a greater Kurdistan, which include parts of eastern and southeastern Turkey (Northern Kurdistan), northern Syria (Western Kurdistan), northern Iraq (Southern Kurdistan), and northwestern Iran (Eastern Kurdistan). Some Kurdish nationalist organizations seek to create an independent nation state of Kurdistan, consisting of some or all of the areas with Kurdish majority, while others campaign for greater Kurdish autonomy within the existing national boundaries.
Iraqi Kurdistan first gained autonomous status in a 1970 agreement with the Iraqi government, and its status was re-confirmed as an autonomous entity within the federal Iraqi republic in 2005. There is a province by the name Kurdistan in Iran; it is not self-ruled. Kurds fighting in the Syrian Civil War were able to take control of large sections of northern Syria as forces loyal to Bashar al-Assad withdrew to fight elsewhere. Having established their own government, some Kurds called for autonomy in a democratic Syria; others hoped to establish an independent Kurdistan.

Erbil International Airport (IATA: EBL, ICAO: ORER), is the main airport of Erbil city in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. Erbil International Airport is centrally located on the Silk Road of the Airways. Following the liberation of Iraq in 2003, the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) decided to transform Erbil's former military base into a modern civil aviation airport to serve as a major gateway to the world. Erbil International Airport (EIA) officially opened on July 7, 2005, and it welcomed its first IATA carrier on 11th December 2006. The KRG has enacted favorable rules to attract foreign investors and to help citizens of the Kurdistan Region in exile return home. Domestic traffic, as well as regional traffic throughout the expansive Middle East, is growing. Kurdistan's great natural resources of oil, natural gas and other minerals are creating a flourishing and rapidly growing business environment. Kurdistan is previously in exile are returning, bringing with them connections to other lands. There is an ever stronger need for efficient air transport, for passengers as well as cargo. The Erbil area has a stable water supply, and is surrounded by scenic and accessible wilderness lands, with greenery, clean streams, waterfalls and caves. This stands in stark contrast to other Middle Eastern destinations,and visitors will fuel an important tourism industry in Kurdistan. These are some of the reasons that the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) and EIA have constructed and equipped an airport for the future, with capacity for three million passengers, and one of the world's longest runways, designed to accommodate the Airbus A380 and cargo aircraft of that class. The airport is the culmination of the vision and strategy put in place in 2003.

An oil-fuelled economic boom has led to a dramatic rate of development in the capital of Iraq's semi-autonomous Kurdish region over the past decade.
Tall apartment blocks have sprung up along the side of the roads and many Kurds and visitors pass their time in large shopping malls.
''Day by day, one can see new developments - either at the level of construction or the establishment of nice malls," said Iraqi Azhar Hassan, one of the many domestic tourists attracted to the region.
Their economic strength has enabled the Kurds to consolidate their autonomy and increase their leverage against the central government in Baghdad.
Since the war, the Kurds mostly benefited from being part of Iraq.
With American prodding, the country's Shiites made major concessions in the 2005 constitution, recognising Kurdish autonomy and allowing the Kurds to keep their own security force when other militias were dismantled.
Shiites also accepted a Kurd as president of predominantly Arab Iraq.
But though Kurdish leaders say they want to remain part of Iraq for now, increasingly acrimonious disputes with Baghdad over oil and territory might just push them toward separation.
Irbil's governor Hadi Nawzad said the region will benefit from new oil and gas fields.
''Refineries have been set up in Irbil and Sulaimaniyah. The oil fields and gas in Kurdistan will be linked via an under-construction pipeline to Turkey and Europe," he said.
Officials say that pipeline could be complete by next year, laying the economic base for independence.
For now, the Kurds can't survive without Baghdad; their region is eligible for 17 percent of the national budget of more than $100 billion, overwhelmingly funded by oil exports controlled by the central government.
In the decade since US-led forces invaded Iraq, Kurds have trained their sights toward Turkey and the West, at the expense of ties with the still largely dysfunctional rest of the country.

ERBIL, Kurdistan Region—A US passenger plane made a crashing landing near Erbil Saturday morning which according to local officials was due to technical failure.
The plane N6351V registered by the US government under the army landed in an open field near the town of Kawrgosk 37 km west of the capital Erbil and 10 Km from the international airport.
Rudaw correspondent near the site said that US army helicopters evacuated four passengers who were aboard the plane.
Around 30 US soldiers arrived and sealed off the area.
An eye witness who saw the crash landing told Rudaw, “The plane was flying very low and its propellers were not working. When it landed American soldiers came soon afterwards and searched the area. They took away the passengers,”
In the video you can clearly see several unusual antennae sprouting from the top of the aircraft, most prominently a large white dome. The aircraft is a Beechcraft King Air and according to Rudaw carried four passengers.
The troops seen in the video are clearly US special forces, perhaps Delta Force, indicating this plane and/or it’s passengers were important enough to warrant launching a Spec Ops retrieval mission.
We don’t know why the aircraft came down nor do we know who was onboard; however, we can make an educated guess at who was operating the flight and what it was doing.
The big clue is found in those unusual antennae which indicates a SIGINT (Signals Intelligence) role. There is a branch of US Army Special forces that flies Beechcraft King Air planes specially outfitted with SIGINT gathering equipment and it appears highly likely that is what we are seeing on the ground in Iraq.
The unit which operate these aircraft is called the ISA (Intelligence Support Activity) or just ‘The Activity’ to those in the know. The ISA has been at the forefront (although very much in the background) of most of America’s special operations since the early 80s.

With a population of 5.2 million and increasing, the three governorates of Erbil, Slemani, and Duhok cover approximately 40.000 square kilometers - larger than the Netherlands and four times the area of Lebanon. This includes the governorates administered by the Kurdistan Regional Government but does not include the disputed areas of Kurdistan outside of KRG administration, such as Kirkuk.
• The Region is geographically diverse, from hot and dry plains to cooler mountainous areas with natural springs and snowfall in the winter.
• Foreign visitors are warmly welcomed. Among the growing number of visitors are international media and business people as well as those returning from the Kurdish diaspora.
• The capital and the seat of the Kurdistan Regional Government is Erbil, a city known in Kurdish as Hawler. The Citadel in Erbil is considered the world’s oldest continuously inhabited settlement. The next largest cities are Slemani and Duhok. Please note that Slemani is the KRG’s official English spelling, but it can also be found with other spellings such as Sulaimani, Suleimani, Sulaimaniyah, and Suleimaniah.
• The Kurdistan Regional Government exercises executive power according to the Kurdistan Region’s laws as enacted by the democratically elected Kurdistan Parliament. Prime Minister Nechirvan Barzani leads the current government.
• Iraq’s Constitution recognizes the Kurdistan Regional Government and the Kurdistan Parliament as the region’s formal institutions and the Peshmerga forces as the Region’s legitimate security guard.
• The current coalition government consists of several political parties that reflect the diversity of the Region’s population, which includes Chaldeans, Assyrians, Syriacs, Turkmen, Yazidis, Arabs and Kurds living together in harmony.
• More than 65% of destroyed villages have been rebuilt since being razed during the Anfal campaign perpetrated by Saddam Hussein’s regime in the 1980s.
• The Kurdish language is of Indo-European origin and is among the family of Iranian languages, such as Persian and Pashto, and is distinct from Arabic. The two main dialects are Sorani and Kurmanji.
• The Kurdistan Region has eleven public universities and several licensed private universities. Some of them use English as the main language of teaching and examination, most notably the University of Kurdistan Hawler (UKH) and the American University of Iraq – Sulaimani (AUIS).
• A new, liberal foreign investment law was ratified in June 2006, providing incentives for foreign investors such as the possibility of owning land, up to ten-year tax holidays, and easy repatriation of profits.
• To rapidly benefit from its oil and gas resources, the KRG has signed dozens of production sharing contracts with companies from several countries.
• The Kurdistan Region has international airports in Erbil and Slemani, with direct flights to and from Europe and the Middle East. A new international airport is under construction in Duhok.

Inside Story - Syria's Kurds claim autonomy in the north
Syria has been at war now for five years. And in that time, the Kurdish Democratic Union Party or PYD, and its armed wing the YPG, have skillfully gained control of almost the entire northern stretch of the country. An area the Kurds call Rojava. Aided by US material support and air-strikes, they are seen as a key ally in the fight against ISIL. But the Kurds of Syria have been frustrated, as their victories on the battlefield have not translated into political gains. Shut out of UN-brokered peace talks in Geneva, they have chosen to go it alone. Declaring their intention to establish a federal Kurdish region in northern Syria. The Kurds say they are not pushing for independence. Rather, for a decentralised, federal model to be applied throughout Syria. But their plan is running into ...

Masoud Barzani, President of the Kurdish Region of Iraq
His Excellency Masoud Barzani, president of the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, addressed an audience of policymakers and journalists at The Washington Institute on April 5, 2012. In wide-ranging remarks and a frank exchange with audience questions, President Barzani spoke about the political and security situation in Iraq since the departure of U.S. combat troops as well as wider regional issues, from the situation in Syria to a call for the PKK to renounce violence.

A Conversation with H.E. Masoud Barzani, President of the Kurdistan Region of Iraq
We are delighted to host H.E. Masoud Barzani, President of the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, hosted jointly by the Atlantic Council and the United States Institute of Peace on Wednesday, May 6, 2015 from 10:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. at the Atlantic Council (1030 15th Street, NW, 12th floor). President Barzani's visit to Washington-his first in three years-comes at a critical moment. The Kurdistan Region of Iraq is fighting a full-fledged war against ISIS, while at the same time grappling with a gruesome refugee crisis and severe financial difficulties. The KRI's complex relations with Turkey and Iran, as well as with the Iraqi central government, are challenging as well. The region has significant oil and gas wealth, yet has struggled to monetize it because of disagreements with Baghdad over en...

From ISIS to Declining Oil Prices: Qubad Talabani on the Kurdistan Regional Government’s Challenges
Long an island of stability in a Middle East marked by conflict, the Kurdish region of Iraq now faces a perfect storm. Its finances have been severely affected by the dramatic decline in the price of oil, its main source of revenue. The KRG also faces a constitutional crisis because President Masoud Barzani's term has ended without the Kurdish political parties finding a definitive way forward or agreement on succession. And the KRG's Peshmerga military force is engaged with the United States and its allies in an extended offensive to rout the self-declared Islamic State extremist group and liberate the nearby city of Mosul, Iraq’s second-largest. Amidst all of this, President Barzani also has indicated that the KRG will hold a referendum in 2016 on whether the region should seek independe...

The Future of Kurdistan, Great Decisions 2016 by Bob Hervey
Kurdistan, a mountainous region made up of parts of Turkey, Iraq, Iran, Armenia and Syria, is home to one of the largest ethnic groups in West Asia: the Kurds. Now, most in the West know them for their small, oil-rich autonomous region in northern Iraq called Iraqi Kurdistan — one of the U.S.’ closer allies in the Middle East and a bulwark against the expansion of the so-called Islamic State. What does the success of Iraqi Kurdistan mean for Kurds in the surrounding region?

Kurdistan rising? Considerations for Kurds, their neighbors, and the region
Two decades ago, many US officials would have been hard-pressed to place Kurdistan on a map, let alone consider the Kurds as allies. Today, Kurds loom large on the Middle Eastern stage, highlighting their renewed push for independence amid the chaos in Iraq. In his new monograph, “Kurdistan Rising? Considerations for Kurds, Their Neighbors, and the Region,” AEI’s Michael Rubin examines the effects of Kurdish independence and unresolved questions that would follow an independent Kurdistan, including citizenship, political structures, defense, economic systems, and renegotiation of treaties to include the Kurds. Join AEI for a discussion of the new monograph and the implications of Kurdish independence for US foreign policy. Join the conversation on social media with @AEIfdp on Twitter. S...

In March of 2015, I set off to the Kurdistan region of Iraq and Syria to begin a new personal project. In the beginning, I thought perhaps it would be a still photography trip only. But just as I left the door, I decided to grab my GoPro kit in case anything interesting happened and I could just film it myself. This is that footage. http://www.joeyl.com/blog/all/post/guerrilla-fighters-of-kurdistan

Syria has been at war now for five years. And in that time, the Kurdish Democratic Union Party or PYD, and its armed wing the YPG, have skillfully gained control of almost the entire northern stretch of the country. An area the Kurds call Rojava.
Aided by US material support and air-strikes, they are seen as a key ally in the fight against ISIL.
But the Kurds of Syria have been frustrated, as their victories on the battlefield have not translated into political gains.
Shut out of UN-brokered peace talks in Geneva, they have chosen to go it alone.
Declaring their intention to establish a federal Kurdish region in northern Syria.
The Kurds say they are not pushing for independence. Rather, for a decentralised, federal model to be applied throughout Syria.
But their plan is running into major resistance.
Not just from Turkey, which has threatened to go to war if necessary, to block the creation of any autonomous Kurdish region in Syria, but also from the bulk of the Syrian opposition and the government in Damascus.
On this Inside Story, we ask if federalism could work in Syria? And how will Kurdish demands affect negotiations to end the war?

His Excellency Masoud Barzani, president of the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, addressed an audience of policymakers and journalists at The Washington Institute on April 5, 2012. In wide-ranging remarks and a frank exchange with audience questions, President Barzani spoke about the political and security situation in Iraq since the departure of U.S. combat troops as well as wider regional issues, from the situation in Syria to a call for the PKK to renounce violence.

We are delighted to host H.E. Masoud Barzani, President of the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, hosted jointly by the Atlantic Council and the United States Institute of Peace on Wednesday, May 6, 2015 from 10:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. at the Atlantic Council (1030 15th Street, NW, 12th floor).
President Barzani's visit to Washington-his first in three years-comes at a critical moment. The Kurdistan Region of Iraq is fighting a full-fledged war against ISIS, while at the same time grappling with a gruesome refugee crisis and severe financial difficulties. The KRI's complex relations with Turkey and Iran, as well as with the Iraqi central government, are challenging as well. The region has significant oil and gas wealth, yet has struggled to monetize it because of disagreements with Baghdad over energy development strategy, revenue sharing, export policy, and other issues of state sovereignty.
The President will address the questions at the crux of these issues: What is the future of Iraqi Kurdistan and the region viewed from Erbil? What are the challenges and priorities of Iraqi Kurdistan in the war against ISIS? What are the key issues in US-KRG relations?
After President Barzani's keynote address, Ambassador William Taylor, Acting Executive Vice President of USIP will moderate a discussion with the President.

Long an island of stability in a Middle East marked by conflict, the Kurdish region of Iraq now faces a perfect storm. Its finances have been severely affected by the dramatic decline in the price of oil, its main source of revenue. The KRG also faces a constitutional crisis because President Masoud Barzani's term has ended without the Kurdish political parties finding a definitive way forward or agreement on succession. And the KRG's Peshmerga military force is engaged with the United States and its allies in an extended offensive to rout the self-declared Islamic State extremist group and liberate the nearby city of Mosul, Iraq’s second-largest. Amidst all of this, President Barzani also has indicated that the KRG will hold a referendum in 2016 on whether the region should seek independence from Iraq.

Kurdistan, a mountainous region made up of parts of Turkey, Iraq, Iran, Armenia and Syria, is home to one of the largest ethnic groups in West Asia: the Kurds. Now, most in the West know them for their small, oil-rich autonomous region in northern Iraq called Iraqi Kurdistan — one of the U.S.’ closer allies in the Middle East and a bulwark against the expansion of the so-called Islamic State. What does the success of Iraqi Kurdistan mean for Kurds in the surrounding region?

Two decades ago, many US officials would have been hard-pressed to place Kurdistan on a map, let alone consider the Kurds as allies. Today, Kurds loom large on the Middle Eastern stage, highlighting their renewed push for independence amid the chaos in Iraq. In his new monograph, “Kurdistan Rising? Considerations for Kurds, Their Neighbors, and the Region,” AEI’s Michael Rubin examines the effects of Kurdish independence and unresolved questions that would follow an independent Kurdistan, including citizenship, political structures, defense, economic systems, and renegotiation of treaties to include the Kurds.
Join AEI for a discussion of the new monograph and the implications of Kurdish independence for US foreign policy.
