process, improving the security situation and
providing basic services," Zebari said in an
interview.
General Ilker Basbug of the Turkish General Staff
said last week the United States had given orders
for the capture of PKK rebels in Iraq, adding that
Turkey had a right to enter Iraqi territory to
attack them if no action was taken.
