hello
first thing to say is that i have not been in iraqi kurdistan but it is maybe an idea to check out the lonely planet forum. enough people go to iraqi kurdistan and are really positive and say it is really safe. talking about the three kurdistan provinces of course: dahuk, arbil, sulaymaniyah!!
can confirm the situation on the road from hakkari to cizre and silopi in south east turkey. Have been there this summer and it is still the situation described by travelbug. helicopter and tanks! and many ''nervous'' soldiers wearing all full protection.
