ISTANBUL - Take a drive through the Kurdish city of Sulaymaniyah in northern Iraq and it's easily to pick out buildings and shops with Turkish names like Istikbal, Istanbul Bazaar, Dogan and the Ozboy furniture shop. On the main street, two new overpasses were built by Turkish companies, as were the city's international airport and also dormitories at the local university."
