PKK leader Murat Karayilan stated that the PUK has not acquiesced to Turkey's demands, and he described this stance as having "national significance." He added that Bafel Talabani "will strengthen the PUK with his patriotic positions in the future, evidently following in the footsteps of his father, Jalal Talabani".
"While Hakan Fidan, Yaşar Güler, and Erdoğan are issuing threats to the PUK, Bafel Talabani has recently taken a public stand against these threats through the media," Karayilan said. "I don't know Bafel Talabani personally and have never met him. However, I have encountered Jalal Talabani on numerous occasions. I can say that we were acquaintances, but Bafel Talabani's statements, according to what I have read and heard in the media, were highly patriotic. They themselves are explicating their party's policy through these positions. In fact, every Kurd should conduct themselves in this manner."

Erdogan's proposal also includes the connection with Syria that the US uses for logistics. If the US hasn't been approached about this it is not just Iranian opposition in Baghdad that will be against Erdogan.
Has Iraq conclusively agreed on the development road ?

So it will be Turkey-Iraq-Kurdistan against a PKK/PUK alliance?

Yep! Looks like this is the way it will go, but for the record I don't trust the Iraqis. We still didn't saw the Iranian reaction on the field, but after we start to identify movement this will be the real test for the Iraqi Central Government. Are they ready to take an independent decision which will be in their interest or continue to be exploited by Iran.
Looks like this is how it will go
Continuing a strong of victories for Iran as it decimates Turkish allies in Iraq:
KDP has announced it will not participate in elections. This decision did not turn out so well for the Sunnis in Iraq. Big advantage and gains for PUK and Iran.
Also remember this ?

I don't know what TR is doing to reduce Iranian influence, seems like nothing. Just like in Syria, we will have IRGC on the border in Iraq. Totally outplayed.

FM Hakan Fidan: Turkey plans to cut the PKK/YPG transit between Iraq and Syria with the operation in the summer.
We will make the border security between Iraq and Syria possible and end the passage of the terrorist organization PKK.
Hmmm

Unfortunately today during a PKK infiltration at Matin, Medic Lieutenant Hulusi ELCI was martyred and 4 soldiers were wounded. In the same encounter 6 terrorists were killed. May Allah accept the martyr of our fallen soldier and we pray for the speedy recovery of our veterans.
It had been raining heavily for 2 days. They attacked after heavy rain. They used the bad weather conditions again, as in the two different attacks in the winter in which we suffered 15 martyrs. A medic would not be positioned on the front line. Most likely, a rocket hit his location. This means, they most probably infiltrated deep.
Again, it looks like an attack by a large group. We don't get the news about infiltration attempts unless we suffer casualties, but the organization made many infiltration attempts when the weather was bad in Matin and Seri. Unless you can prevent these attacks from happening, they will keep coming and of course one of many will be successful.

Development Path Project with Iraq is Turkey's most important work in the future
Minister of National Defense Yaşar Güler:
"There is a project called 'Road to Development', which will start from the Persian Gulf, pass through Turkey and go to Europe. Of course you all heard it, you should definitely know this. Because this is the most important job of our Turkey in the future. Turkish companies will preferentially do business there; "In addition to 4 highways, 4 railways and 8 roads, all goods coming from China will be transported to Europe through this development route."

But why is MoD talking about it, and not some FM aide that should be with him on these trips.
In the past we'd criticize these things more often, because people should respect and have professionalism in their field of expertise. It seems we're so deprived of competent statemen that all ministers can talk about anything.
My question is, where do they plan to make these rails and roads and how are they going to move it through Iraq and IKRG area and such.
I found this image and it seems to connect Rabia, Mosul, and other bigger cities of Iraq. These will be like main roads, and it's pretty damn long.

I think it's my bad as I didn't shared his other statement also. He talks about it and is meeting people related to the security part of the project which is the most important part as we have a very diverse security environment. We are talking about DEASH, Iranian militias and PKK. It is important to ensure the security of this road trough all its length. I am not sure where he did these statements, but they are very important.
We will establish a joint operations center with Iraq
Minister of National Defense Yaşar Güler:
"When we went on a trip to Baghdad, the Iraqi administration admitted for the first time that the PKK was a terrorist organization. From now on, we will work together with them and establish a joint operations center. The Erbil administration's opinion of this is very positive."
