Abstract

      Disagreements between Iraq and Kuwait arose over the settlement of debts accumulated by the Iraqi government during its war with the Iranian regime, in addition to border disputes with Kuwait. Turkey and its strategic location played an important role in the war, especially since the American bases that were supposed to be used to force Iraq to withdraw from the occupation of Kuwait were located on Turkish territory. Since Turkey believed in amicable solutions, it voted in favor of the Organization of the Islamic Conference resolutions on the Iraqi-Kuwaiti issue and supported all of them.

     Upon carefully examining Ozal's views and positions during the Second Gulf War, it can be noted that his approach to war and peace shifted from demanding that "peace must be preserved and the crisis resolved by peaceful means" to the possibility of resolving the crisis by peaceful means ("war may break out"), and finally to the rhetoric that "a hot war is inevitable," especially with the intransigence of the Iraqi government and its implicit threat to the Turkish government by Iraqi Vice President Taha Yassin Ramadan during his visit to Ankara. Furthermore, the Turkish government sought to win the favor of the United States, NATO countries, and the Gulf states to preserve and enhance its interests in the region.
