خلاصة:
With the establishment of safe zone in April 1991 the sovereignty of the Ba'th Party over the 36th parallel north was eliminated and an autonomous government was established in the said region. The formation of an autonomous government in the region and its establishment in the Iraqi Constitution along with the recognition of this government within the framework of federalism، legal recognition of the Kurdish military forces and Kurdish language، and the participation of the Kurds in the hierarchy of central government turned KRG into an affective element in the whole Iraqi political system. The present paper will study the impact of this government on the ethnocentric movements in the neighboring areas.
ملخص الجهاز:
The formation of this autonomous government, which apparently received support from the dominant discourse of the international system, and the subsequent consolidation of its position in the Iraqi constitution, gaining prominent advantages including the recognition of their regional government and the principle of federalism, the legalization of Kurdish military forces, and the official status of the Kurdish language, alongside the extensive participation of Kurds in the power pyramid of the new central government of Iraq; has caused the Kurdistan regional government to become the center of the Kurdistan system and also a hub of transformation and influence on other elements of this system.
Jafar Haqqpanah (Winter 1999) in an article titled 'Security Implications of the Arrest of the Turkish Kurdish Leader in Iranian Kurdish Regions' believes that the local government of northern Iraq, in the cultural dimension and in terms of promoting and disseminating ethnic tendencies, such as publishing books in the Kurdish language, activating {o(1)- o Kurdish Regional Government (GRK)}\P> Kurdish radio-television networks, with biased programming and the increase in political-cultural communications of the Kurds, have left their impacts on both sides of the border.
The Kurdistan crisis, which from the end of World War I to the present day has continuously been a point of vulnerability and an Achilles' heel for three very important Middle Eastern countries, namely Turkey, Iraq, and Iran, and to a lesser extent for Syria (Sheikh Attar, 1382: 11), has now appeared as an active geopolitical phenomenon in the region and the world, in such a way that the Kurdish giant has been unleashed on the stage of the region's foreign politics (Gunter, 1376: 2).
