The earliest epigraphical evidence of Indo - European language have been found at :
Iraq
The oldest written traces of an Indo-European speech are the Kassite records of about 1600 BCE found in Iraq, which contain Aryan names of gods and kings.
These predate the Boghazkoi inscription of about 1400 BCE from Asia Minor, which invokes Indra, Mitra, Varuna and the Nasatyas.
Iran, Syria and Bactria have later or indirect evidence, so they do not give the earliest epigraphic record.
Hence, Iraq.
