Why did the Turkish PM visit Iraq today?

Question

just a day after the terrorist attack in Turkey

Answer 1

Who cares?

What do you want him to do? To investigate the case?

He's just abroad, that's all. And IMO he can stay abroad...

Answer 2

hi,

i wish ,he asks these questions to  the Iraq PM :

1)what do you  think about unitary Iraq?

2)do you think to  the ending   Kerkuk referendum idea?

3)do you want to the attacking against to the terrorist organisation PKK/PJAK/KADEK/CONGRA JEL?

4)do you think to talking with Barzani that he stops to support the terrorist organisation PKK/PJAK/KADEK/CONGRA JEL?

Answer 3

probably to talk about the attack

Answer 4

Afghani group of Al Qaeda, who are so far the only organization claimed responsibility , is based in Afganistan and security forces bust terrorist hideouts in İstanbul. Thus, there can never be a demonstrable connection between the terrorist attack and the visit. Contrary to my assumption and as ev pandası has suggested, if you link Iraq invasion to 9/11 attacks, you can also link Erdoğan's Iraq visit to the terrorist attack in İstanbul.

Answer 5

Possibly, to discuss quitting the whole terrorist thing.

Answer 6

Attack was from Islamist Al Qaeda and/or Hizbullah, the tourist kidnappers were PKK and the Iraqi government is struggling hard be accepted as statesmen.

Western leaders were hailing said government when they were STILL supporting terrorist PKK. What's your point?

Answer 7

It was planned visit.

Answer 8

To follow the chicken would be my guess, but hang on the chicken would have to cross many roads, rivers, and valleys before getting to Iraq so gee it just occurred to me that it must be a very important chicken to be followed all that way.

Answer 9

it was a planned visit. On 5th of this july, the date of visit was announced as between 7th and 14th of july. The exact date of the visit was not defined due to any possible assassination attempt.

Considering that the attack was on 9th of july, we can send the conspiracy theories to trash, claiming a relation between Iraq visit and consulate attack.
