"Kurdistan, Iraq - An Unforgetable Visit" a Iraq Travel Page by Aopaq

My entry to Northern Iraq was via Turkey at the border crossing of Habur. My travels took me overland from Damascus, Syria into SE Turkey at Nusaybin and then to Iraq.

I spent most of my time based out of Dohuk which is where I met a number of very friendly people who exposed me to a cultural perspective of Kurdistan Iraq that was most interesting and very appreciated.

My brief trip into the small mountain village of Amedya exposed me to the reknowned warmth and hospitality that characterize the Kurdish people. My experience in Amedya is the reason for this entire entry.....I want others to know that the Kurdish Iraqi people are not at all like the terrorists portrayed on CNN and other news agencies.
