Welcome to SkyscraperCity!

Thanks brother :)

We call Iraqi Kurdistan southern Kurdistan actually. But that doesn't matter for now :nuts:

Anyway, Iraqi Kurdistan has approximately 6 million inhabitants. Its capital is Erbil. This city has over 1,5 million inhabitants. The gouvernement of Iraqi Kurdistan is also settled in the capital.

Than you have Sulaimaniya (The president of Iraq is from here) :banana: , this city has also approximately 1.5 million inhabitants. Than there is Duhok and Kirkuk .. Kirkuk is not a official part of Kurdistan yet.

I would like you to visit www.theotheriraq.com

it is very interesting.

Greetings and Kind Regards!

Welcome to the forum Kurdistani. Great photos and renderings. I like the renderings of the mall. I also really liked that Kurdistan bank. The tower in Slemani is a little too obviously falic. But the observation deck looks great. With the tower on a hill like that I am sure you can see for miles. I just googled earth-ed Erbil. What is the tall acropolis area in the center of the city?

Thank you for your good remarks.
The acropolis...It's an ancient castle. That's where the city center lies, Erbil is the capital of Iraqi Kurdistan now.

greets

Nice pics, i like the style of buildings. I just read about Kurdistan in national geographic. Have you seen the article? If so what did you think of it?

Hi and welcome! :cheers1:

Great pics and renderings... they look awesome! :okay:

I would love to see the place in some years when the situation has stabilised a bit..

Welcome to the forums Kurdistani :happy:

I am no longer the only Kurd on this forum :) :banana:

i liked it very much, it shows our situation, It's very differet, People think that iraq is all the same. Kurdistan is very,very,very different.

^^ Thats good, N.G seems to have well balanced articles. I hope that things work out and you are able to achieve independance without bloohshed.

Hi, kurdistan is a pretty intersting place :)

very nice pics by the way

Thank you virtual

Yes, N.G. has a lot to do in kurdistan, let's hope that Kurdistan becomes a second Dubai :) , Well Kurdistan has a lot of oil, even in last November oil was found near the Turkish border

they actually built a whole hotel for BUSH?

and i have a question are kurds related to pathans of afghinistan and pakistan? because i am from pakistan and i understand some words of your language

LOL, that hotel is for leaders and diplomats.

Kurdish people are of indo-aryan descent, like persians, afghans, pakistani, india

Nothing is related to arabs or turks!
You dont have to wonder why kurdish and pakistani urdu languages are so close to eachother. We are the ARYAN nation!


Peace

nice to know, maybe our countries should start a good relationship then

Very nice pics and interesting thread over all. Not every day you see something like this:)

Is Kurdistan a safe place to visit? I mean, for Christians, with all this sh1t going on right now. And how do Kurds feel about Serbia?

Very Beautiful. :happy:

I aint seen there before but it looks cool.Is it in Iraq right??

Kurdistan is a very safe place, only 200 of 150.000 foreign troops in iraq are stationed in Kurdistan We have our own army.

Kurdistan region has got its federal status now. It is still a part of Iraq. But we will get our independence in the coming years.

Christians and Muslims live together very good.
People get the Idea of Iraq, IT IS NOT LIKE IRAQ, we are Kurds, a very different nation. We don't want to be Iraqi's,


Peace,

hey kurdistani, both our countries are really beautiful, this is mine visit this link

Kurdistan is a beautiful place. ;)

Very interesting thread. Thanks for your information and welcome!

Very nice, I never expected Kurdistan to be like this. And I know that Northern Iraq is the safest area in Iraq right now.
Very great pictures, thanks a lot for sharing.

Hi kurdistani =)

great pics, i whas in arbil this summer, i have gotta say some sweet weather there unlike baghdad where it can be 60C looooooool.

WOW....its really beautiful..u dnt hear abt these projects in the news.

@Kurdistani: Isn't Kurdistan divided between Iraq, Iran, Turkey and some other country, Syria i think?

@Skyscraper_guy yes , but i think majority of kurds are in turkey. im unsure however.

baghdads population have a large minority of kurds, its very common you see kurds marry shite/sunni arab families.
and the fanciest resturangs in baghdad is kurdish :D like Samad resturang (my favourite) and Saysaban :D

So, the population is poor but rich institutions and people build shiny structures? Well done ..

can you tell us the capital of kurdistan ?

Listen carefully,

With just 6 million inhabitants and around 8% of the world's crude resources Kurdistani population is headed on to the path of prosperity and nothing else!.
These shiny structures you so easily mock in Kurdistan is the future of these people and hopefully all of Iraq once civil obedience is under control. But that is already the case with Kurdistani Iraq.

wooow!
wonderful and welcome!!!
maybe soon a new Kurdistan forum?:)

First: thank you al for the fine comments.

hey kurdistani, both our countries are really beautiful, this is mine visit this link
I know mate, thanks for the link.
I am sure I can post some landscape photos later.



Hi kurdistani =)

Yes that's right, Kurdistan is a good cooling place for Iraqi's
Baghdad is indeed hot, never been there, but the stories make me hot already. :)

So, the population is poor but rich institutions and people build shiny structures? Well done ..
Well I went to Kurdistan last year and I can proudly say that people have much money to spend, the situation is very stable and good and a small minority lives in poverty.
As already mentioned, Iraqi-Kurdistan has a lot of oil resources. And it has not started to use them all yet.

can you tell us the capital of kurdistan ?
The capital of Iraqi Kurdistan is Hawler, thats in Kurdish but Erbil is the name internationally used.

Some very nice projects, i didn´t expect that in that aera, with all due respect.

Welcome to the forum!:wave:

Hi

nice pictures!

I went to Kurdistan (Iraqi) previous summer, it was great!

Security was great and there was no fear for anything..

anyway, hope to see more :D

I hope that rich iranians would invest in kuridstan instead of dubai because... well i think the kurds get what i mean. Really nice :) I had a question do kurds really hate us persians? And if you dont come and visit the iran forum and post your kurdish threads in there :)
