| [IsraelTimes] Construction begins on planned 144-kilometer concrete barrier to block movement of outlawed Kurdish separatists ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... has begun building a "security wall" along part of its border with Iran, regional officials said Tuesday, in a move aimed at stopping Kurdish separatists. Pictures showing huge concrete blocks being moved into place were published on the governor’s website for the eastern Agri province. The PKK, which has waged an insurgency inside Turkey since the 1980s, is considered by Ankara and its Western allies as a "terrorist" group. On the diplomatic front, Turkey has been involved in co-sponsoring talks on a Syria peace deal held in Kazakhstan’s capital with Iran and Russia. To beef up security on its Syrian border, Turkey began constructing a similar wall two years ago to prevent Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... group fighters moving easily between the two countries and to clamp down on illegal crossings. In June, He added that further border security measures would be put in place once the construction had been completed. |
