Is Urmiye (Urmia) not in western Iran? Surely you don't need to go there to get a bus to Istanbul from Erbil?!

Are the buses from Istanbul to Erbil always available or is it necessary to make reservations in advance?

Can anyone tell me what days and times buses leave Istanbul for Erbil and vice versa? I'm heading to Istanbul for Christmas and I'd like to take the bus in at least one direction. Also, do the buses from Istanbul continue to Suli, or do buses to istanbul leave from Suli, or is it best to get a taxi between Suli and Erbil.

Cheers
