Turkey, Iraq agree on opening second border gate
2017-10-27
[Ynet] The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire....
and Iraq have agreed to open a second border gate and its construction will begin once the necessary security measures are taken, Turkey's customs minister said on Thursday.

"I had the impression that the Iraqi government agrees that there should be a second border gate", Bulent Tufenkci told Anadolu news agency.

He said the planned gate would be near the northern Iraqi city of djinn-infested Mosul
... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn...
, in a region where Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
and Kurdish PKK Death Eaters still pose a security threat. "Once steps are taken to secure the path, there is no other obstacle for us," he said.
