3, -- An advisor for Iraqi Kurdistan president
Massoud Barzani has accused Turkey of sending
special forces into Kurdistan (Northern Iraq's
Kandil Mountain region), according to Turkey
authorities the Kandil Mountain region is home to
PKK training camps.
Kurdistan government minister Muhammed Ihsan
commented on the accusations of Turkish preparation
for a military operation against the PKK, saying

borders.
The Turkish government should solve the problems in
its own country, and not make any incursions over
our borders."

information, and there has been activity in the
border area.
We know that some Turkish soldiers have entered
villages near Zakho." Hussain said that Turkey was
preparing for a wide-spread operation, noting "Over
the past 3 weeks, there has a been a large build-up
of Turkish soldiers along their border.
This is very clear." Hussain also asserted that the
new Baghdad administration was considering what to
do in the event of a Turkish incursion into
Kurdistan (Northern Iraq).
"Those who know Kurdish-US relations should be
realistic"
Hussain noted too that the US administration would
not be in support of any Turkish operation in
Kurdistan (Northern Iraq), recalling the close links
between the Kurdish leadership and Washington, DC.
He said "Those who know the relation between the US
and the Kurds should be more realistic."
