Abstract
Despite the differences between Iran, Turkey, Iraq and Syria, these countries, on the issue of Kurdish independence, based on Bari Buzan's security interdependence theory, consider Kurdish independence as a common regional threat and have not allowed them independence. The fall of Saddam, the support of Iran and the United States of the Iraqi Kurds, the weakness of the Iraqi central government and the ISIS attacks, prompted the Iraqi Kurds to hold a referendum (2016) to try to gain independence, but it did not succeed due to security interdependence.This research, which has been conducted in a descriptive-analytical way, is based on the fact that with the joint cooperation between the Kurds and the central governments, it is possible to turn the threats to the strategic cooperation between the Kurds and the central governments in political, military, environmental, economic and social fields.The findings of the research that has studied the strategies of cooperation between the Kurds and the central government of Iraq showed that the success of countries in one area leads to the encouragement of cooperation in other areas.This research has addressed the situation of Iraqi Kurds with the Iraqi central government as a case study.

Introduction
The separation of a part of Iranian Kurdistan in the "Chaldaran" war (1514 AD) and its addition to the Ottoman state, due to the lack of cultural and ethnic similarities, the colonialists' conspiracy and the First World War and the fall of the Ottoman Empire, caused the Kurds to use the opportunities in To achieve political independence and the formation of an independent Kurdish country. Kurds have always sought autonomy, independence and the formation of an independent Kurdish country under the title of Greater Kurdistan. In this passage, the Kurds of each country have tried to become independent, at least in the same country they are in, so that the conditions for the bigger cause are provided. Therefore, at any point in time, with the weakening of the power of the central government, the Kurds of that country, relying on and hoping for foreign support, have redoubled their efforts to achieve autonomy and independence.
The Kurds, the largest group, are without an independent state, claiming a population of 50 million. Due to the identity gaps and high geopolitical weight, the Kurds turned to policies that are not aligned with their central governments, in economic, political, security, military, referendum and movement towards independence. This situation has caused many challenges between the Kurds and the central government.
 
Materials & Methods
This research, which was investigated in a descriptive-analytical way, is based on the fact that with the joint cooperation between the Kurds and the central governments, it is possible to reduce the threats to the strategic cooperation between the Kurds and the central governments in political, military, environmental, turned economic and social. The findings of the research that examined the cooperation strategies between the Kurds and the Iraqi central government showed that the success of countries in one area leads to encouraging cooperation in other areas.
 
Discussion & Result
The majority of the Kurds live in the four countries of Iran, Türkiye, Syria and Iraq. Therefore, the independence of the Kurds of each of these countries will threaten the other three countries and try to gain independence from those countries. Despite the differences between Iran, Turkey, Iraq, and Syria, these countries have considered independence as a common regional threat and have not allowed independence for the Kurds, based on Bari Buzan's security interdependence theory. This means that the formation of an independent Kurdish state entails political, economic, military, social and environmental threats to the four Kurdish minority countries, which, if formed, will threaten the "existence" of the four countries. to give There are important obstacles on the way to the realization of this ideal in the domestic and foreign arenas.
According to the case study of Iraq, the fall of Saddam Hussein, the support of Iran and the United States for the Iraqi Kurds, the weakness of the Iraqi central government and the attack of ISIS, prompted the Iraqi Kurds to strive for independence by holding a referendum (2016). In relation to Iraq, the complexity and diversity in the composition and population structure of Iraq has created dense and overlapping gaps in ethnic and religious dimensions. In addition to this diversity, intertwining and overlapping ethnic-religious ties have contributed to the complexity of the political situation and the aggravation of divisions. Since the establishment of Iraq, the highest obstacle to the unity of this country has been the distinction and separation between the Arab majority and the Kurdish minority.
The population of Iraqi Kurds is estimated at around 6 million people. In 1992, the first referendum on the independence of Iraqi Kurdistan was held unofficially, and more than 98.98% of the participants voted positively for the formation of an independent Kurdish state. The second independence referendum was held on October 3, 2016, and out of 93.35 percent of the participants, 92.73 percent voted for the formation of an independent Kurdish government. This did not happen due to security interdependence. Security interdependence has made it more costly to disrupt relations. The decision of the leaders of Iraqi Kurdistan, for independence, brought division and security threats to the countries of Iraq, Turkey, Iran and Syria.
Any fundamental change and major shift in the priorities of goals requires a change in the distribution of resources. In this way, various methods change the attitude towards the classification of national goals, social, political, security, economic, cultural and military planning. If this change leads to the emergence of various crises, it will lead to a decrease in national power, and in a situation where national power is weakened, the government will not be able to maneuver much in order to achieve its goals and secure its interests in the international political scene. . Therefore, on the one hand, security interdependence does not allow independence for the Kurds of Iraq, and on the other hand, the continuation of this process weakens the national power, which is not in line with the interests of the central government of Iraq and the Kurds.
 
Conclusion
If the components of security interdependence in political, economic, military, social and environmental dimensions become strategic cooperation between the Iraqi Kurds and the central government, it will not only provide the interests of both sides, but also play a positive role in providing the interests of the Kurds and the Turkish countries. Iran, Iraq and Syria will also have it. Therefore, if the Kurds transform the threats in political, economic, cultural, environmental and military dimensions into strategic cooperation with the central government, considering the interdependence of security, the interests of the central government of Iraq, Kurds and countries with Kurdish population will be secured. Kurds should consider Baghdad as the depth of their strategy. Therefore, the strategic cooperation of different areas in Iraq will solve the problems for the benefit of the Iraqi people and especially the Kurds. In this regard, if threats from security interdependence in political, economic, social, military and environmental dimensions are turned into an opportunity for strategic cooperation, the interests of all around,  including the Kurds, will be secured.
