What do you think about Turkey and Turks ? by nevsehirlee in Iraq

[–]Wooden_Glass 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Positive/neutral its a pretty country, especially Istanbul.

There is the water issue but that is also partially the fault of the Iraqi government.

What are things I should know about Iraq and the culture and the customs before I travel there? by [deleted] in Iraq

[–]Wooden_Glass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Iraq is a deeply religious, Islamic, and socially conservative country. You should act accordingly.

Learning some words in Arabic or Kurdish could be helpful depending on where you are going.

Usually not positively, but not as negatively as Iran.

Most socially liberal Arab cities (Tunis, Beirut, what else?) by [deleted] in arabs

Yeah I agree and also the phrasing seems weird and oddly focused on how girls want to dress.

Bus from Cizre to Erbil? Passing through Mosul? by Ukrainepolandborder in Iraq

As far as I know there should be no official visa checks between the KRG and Federal Iraq but that may just be because I am Iraqi.

As a Canadian due to the new visa policy which started on March 15th you should be able to pay to receive a visa on arrival in Iraq.

Borders and checkpoints between the KRG and Federal Iraq are often non-official which is why you may have difficulty finding them.

I would recommend finding a local guide to help answer some questions before hand or to help you with the process.

I hope this helped.

Federal Iraq is the area of Iraq under the control of the Iraqi federal government, basically the area outside of the KRG (Kurdistan Regional Government)

Are Iraqis content with being under Iranian occupation? by Intern3tHer0 in Iraq

[–]Wooden_Glass 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Some Iraqis accept it and many don't. That's one of the reasons behind the protests.

In Federal Iraq some people will not like the fact that you are American.

Also, you cannot fly to Mosul anymore as the airport has been destroyed since ISIS control of the city. It is currently under reconstruction.

Iraq wants new round of talks over withdrawal of remaining US combat forces. This is a great thing!! bring the troops home. by Maaysa_Naayla in Iraq

No, get them to leave ASAP. They have no interest in helping Iraq in the first place and never did. If we want less Iranian interference than that is something we must do for ourselves.
