| Turkey cautioned against military advance in north Iraq |
| 2007-03-17 |
| (KUNA) -- The Turkish National Security Council has cautioned against a possible Turkish military invasion of north Iraq. The warning was made by the council in a classified dossier that would be discussed during the council's meeting in April, the C.N.N.Turk website said Friday. A Turkish invasion of north Iraq would cause serious human and material perils to Turkey, it said, quoting the report as urging the Turkish government to beef up its relations with all Iraqi factions, including north Iraqi Kurds. Concerning Kirkuk, the report suggested that no one could allow Kurds to annex this city to their autonomy, believing that the reasonable approach is to give Kirkuk a special status just like Baghdad. It also ruled out that the US could continue its support for Kurds for good amid Turkish wrath at such a US position. |

| #1 It also ruled out that the US could continue its support for Kurds for good amid Turkish wrath at such a US position. Oh yeah. The last thing we want is to anger our close personal friends, the Turks, who have been sooo helpful. And what exactly is the 'special status' of Baghdad? Other than an infestation of human vermin at the moment, I mean. |
