Hmm does anyone else think that this sounds like extortion? $30 billion is an awful lot of money to ask for.

I'm not even sure how much trade is going on right now between Iraq and Turkey but I don't think it's very much. So a war in Iraq isn't going to damage their economy any further that it is already.

Considering if or when the Iraq crisis is resolved and there are no longer any UN sanctions, Turkey should get a lot of business which should boost their economy again.
