Can anyone tell me what it is like in Northern Iraq? I have been offered a position to work there round Arbil

Question

I can only find bits and pieces of info on the country itself. Kurdistan has long been at war with Turkey, but I would like to know what dangers lie in Iraqi Kurdistan.

Answer 1

I hope they pay well.

Answer 2

iraq is enough to know that its DANGEROUS

hope the pay is good, and set up a nice life insurance policy before leaving ;)

Answer 3

Arbil is safe, it's not dangerous at all. Go for it. There is no war between Iraqi Kurds and Turkey, the conflict is between Turkish Kurds who are hiding in the mountains in the Turkey-Iraq border, the conflict doesn't affect Kurdish cities in Iraq because it's no where near the mountainous border region where most of the fighting is.
