Turkish and Iraqi Kurdistan Safety Hi, I’m considering flying to Van in Turkey before travelling to Diyarbakir and from Diyarbakir to Erbil in Iraq. I see some embassies have a do not travel notice to Iraq. Is this justified? Is Iraqi Kurdistan and the Kurdish part of Turkey safe? Any itinerary suggestions? Thanks! submitted by /u/TheCatholicAtheist
