Abstract
This research examines the strategic resources of Iraq,
Turkey and Iran with particular emphasis on those assets
found in the Kurdish regions of these nations. Strategic
resources, in the context of this discussion, are defined as
oil and nonfuel mineral assets and agricultural potential,
to include degree of soil productivity and availability of
water supplies. To the extent applicable, industrial
development is discussed as well. Kurdish history, language
and culture and the Kurdish nationalist movement in the
three nations are also examined. Superpower and regional
interests in the Kurdish nationalist movement and the
governments of the nations involved are also addressed.
