Turkey's Iraq policy has come under scrutiny since the Turkish parliament defeated a motion that called for Turkey's involvement in the war against Iraq in 2003.

A comprehensive account of Turkey's Iraq policy requires a discussion of the impact of identity politics and historical narratives on perceptions of interests.
