The Kurds Ascending: The Evolving Solution to the Kurdish Problem in Iraq and Turkey
ISBN: 9780230603707 / Angielski / Twarda / 179 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. For the first time in their modern history, the Kurds in Iraq and Turkey at least are cautiously ascending. This is because of two major reasons.

If such an Iraq proves impossible to construct, as it well may, the KRG is positioned to become independent....
