MosJan Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 Turkish army invaded Northern Iraq 20.03.2007 18:49 GMT+04:00 Print version Send to mail In Russian In Armenian /PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Turkish army invaded bordering regions of Nothern Iraq preparing a large scale operation against Kurdish gorillas, one of Iraqi internet web-sites close to Patriotic Union of Kurdistan reported on Thursday. “The Turkish army with large forces invaded Haftanin, Sineht and Pirbila districts in Northern Iraq, where armored equipment and “commandos” of Special Forces are stationed, Iraqi media reports. The Turkish general staff has not made any comments concerning this message, RIA “Novosti” reports. Earlier in its parts Turkish media reported about transfer of a 20-thousand division to the border with Iraq. “Elements of Turkish armed forces created security zones along the border with Iraq in order to prevent penetration of terrorists of Workers’ Party of Kurdistan (PKK), CNN-Turk reports citing military sources. The longstanding conflict of Turkey with PKK, which aims at establishing the so-called independent Kurdistan on Turkish territory, resulted in deaths of more than 37 000 people. Turkish authorities refuse to carry on a dialogue with separatists and are going to forcefully put an end to PKK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aubépine Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 (edited) Invasion of Northern Iraq? When did that happen? It's nowhere in the news here. Especially on this day with the Kurdish New Year? Now that would be foolish. Edited March 21, 2007 by Aubépine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MosJan Posted March 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 Turkey Deploys Troops on Iraqi Border Written by The Media Line Staff Published Tuesday, March 20, 2007 E-Mail This Printer-Friendly Archives (Eric Baxter) The Turkish army is concentrating troops in Jabal Joudi on the border with Iraq, the London-based daily Al-Quds Al-'Arabi reported. The paper said that media reports from the area indicated the Turks are planning a military operation against Kurdish camps in northern Iraq. The camps are used for preparing terror attacks against Turkey and for smuggling people across the border. More than 120 military trucks carrying soldiers arrived Monday in Jabal Joudi, joining thousands of troops already stationed in the area, the paper added. Turkish authorities described these moves as an annual routine ahead of the Spring Festival, Al-Quds Al-'Arabi reported. The authorities said members of the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) regularly tried to exploit the snowy weather during this season to infiltrate Turkey unnoticed. The Media Line reported on July 2006 about similar military maneuvers in Mount Kandil on the Iraqi border. It was then estimated that some 150,000 Turkish troops were deployed at the border. Iraqi concerns about a possible Turkish cross-border operation did not materialize, although Turkey has continuously expressed its wish to eliminate the Kurdish threat from Iraq.

MosJan Posted March 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 By Andrew Borowiec The Washington Times NICOSIA, Cyprus -- Turkey has put its army on alert to stave off any attacks by Kurdish rebels during a spring festival beset by unprecedented political problems this week. The crisis includes a widening rift between the military commanders and Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, warnings of more attacks by Kurdish extremists and a rising nationalist fervor that is worrying Turkey's European partners. Complicating the task of the Erdogan government is the possibility of strained relations with the United States over the prospect of a separate Kurdish state in northern Iraq and the threat that the U.S. Congress might brand the World War I killings of Armenians by Turkey's Ottoman rulers as genocide. Turkish press reports have said the volume of problems is unprecedented in Turkey's modern history. Military leaders have warned that regardless of Turkey's application for membership in the European Union, the army will remain the ultimate guardian of the republic. At the same time, Gen. Ilker Basbug, the commander of land forces, reaffirmed Turkey's right to send its troops to Iraq in pursuit of Kurdish rebels waging a 32-year war for independence. Against such a background, most of Turkey's 10 million Kurds prepared to celebrate Norooz, a spring festival that is also observed in Iran and Afghanistan. The guerrilla Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), the main fighting force of the Kurdish opposition, has threatened terrorist attacks over the holiday, particularly against the country's thriving tourist resorts. A number of Kurdish politicians, including members of the legally recognized Democratic Society Party, have been rounded up for interrogation. In the predominantly Kurdish area of Diyarbakir in southwestern Turkey, the authorities refused to grant permission for festivals. In the weeks leading up to the holiday, the Turkish political scene was marred by growing tension between the senior military cadres and Mr. Erdogan, increasingly accused by the army of Islamic tendencies. In 1999, the army was instrumental in removing from power Prime Minister Necmettin Erbakan, who was known for his political commitment to militant Islam. Although Mr. Erdogan has never indicated any intention of abandoning Turkey's secular system, the military and secularist circles resent his appointments of Islamic politicians to government posts as well as the fact that his wife wears a head scarf in public buildings, which is banned by law. Mr. Erdogan has been highly critical of a planned resolution in Congress to recognize the 1915 Armenian massacres as genocide. "I am worried that such a resolution would cast a shadow over our strategic partnership," he said. The Bush administration also fears damage to its relations with Turkey, a critical NATO partner in one of the most unstable areas of the world. Successive Turkish governments have refused to acknowledge any responsibility for the death of 1.5 million Armenians who were accused of supporting Russia in its war with Turkey.

Arpa Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 (edited) Gorillas...did the Turks ambush them by throwing feces? What this this say about PanArmenian? No, no. Let us not throw the PanArmenian to the “gorillas” yet**. Even though they may have taken it a step ahead, the news is not altogether baseless. Also note highlighted passages to see that, what with Erdogan V military Turkey may be at brink of an oft replayed déjà vu coup. One has to wonder how much more pressure that “turkey” can take before it will run like a chicken with its head cut off. This news item comes from Ankara, not Yerevan **Of course. The word is “guerilla” (guerre-ill-a,/gueriya” to literally mean small war. How can we blame those who spell it as “gorilla” when we can’t even tell if our best reporters are pronouncing it as “gOrilla” or “gEr-illa”. Մարտիկ/martik, note the diminutive “իկ/ik” added to “mart/war”. Even if at times we use the word ”martik” to mean “warrior”. Just like “(pate)razmik”. ======= ARMY ON ALERT AMID TENSIONS The New Anatolian, Turkey The New Anatolian / Washington March 20 2007 Turkey has put its army on alert to stave off any attacks by Kurdish terrorists during Nevruz, a spring festival, amid unprecedented political problems, reported The Washington Times yesterday. Andrew Borowiec, in an article in Monday's edition of the right-wing daily, stated that the crisis includes a widening rift between military commanders and Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, warnings of more attacks by Kurdish extremists and a rising nationalist fervor that is worrying Turkey's European partners. The daily stated that Erdogan's government is facing the possibility of strained relations with Washington over the prospect of a separate Kurdish state in northern Iraq and the threat that U.S. Congress might brand the World War I deaths of Armenians under Turkey's Ottoman rulers as genocide. The Times said military leaders have warned that regardless of Turkey's application for membership in the European Union, the army will remain the ultimate guardian of the republic. The daily cited Turkish Armed Forces (TSK) Gen. Ilker Basbug's remarks stressing Turkey's right to send its troops to Iraq in pursuit of Kurdish terrorists waging a 32-year war for independence. Underlining that while Kurds have prepared to celebrate Nevruz, the daily added that terrorist Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) militants have threatened terrorist attacks over the holiday, particularly against the country's thriving tourist resorts. "A number of Kurdish politicians, including members of the legally recognized Democratic Society Party (DTP), have been rounded up for interrogation," wrote Borowiec. "In the predominantly Kurdish area of Diyarbakir in southwestern Turkey, the authorities refused to grant permission for festivals." The daily stated, "The Turkish political scene was marred by growing tension between the senior military cadres and Mr. Erdogan, increasingly accused by the army of Islamic tendencies." The Times cited the 1997 "postmodern coup," in which the army was instrumental in removing from power Prime Minister Necmettin Erbakan, who was known for his political commitment to militant Islam. "Although Mr. Erdogan has never indicated any intention of abandoning Turkey's secular system, the military and secularist circles resent his appointments of Islamic politicians to government posts as well as the fact that his wife wears a headscarf in public buildings, which is banned by law," the daily added.

Error 404 Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 You know. I was always expecting this to happen. Since it will be a big and final mistake from Turkey. Attacking kurds in "kurdistan" is like playing with fire. But imagine, as a worst case scenario US troops will get involved and will step up from the kurdish side? US has enough problems now in Iraq with sunis and shias they do not need another hot zone in the north part of Iraq. So let the turks to play with fire...

The USA is responsible for Iraq's security and territorial integrity. No matter what turks would want to do, Washington will dictate what they will do. There is no 'if' scenario. We can't say 'if' the turks invade, because 'if' they do, it will be with Washington's blessing. But they won't since it would play right into Tehran's hands.

Answering the question of PanARMENIAN.Net journalist Hayk Demoyan underlined that the U.S. President in his April 24 annual address somehow or other touches upon “massacres”. If the United States does not recognize the Armenian Genocide it means they must review their own history. In 1917 thousands of Armenians were saved by American missions from massacres, deportation and hunger, and this fact is fixed in all official documents,” the Armenian historian underlined. In his opinion the Resolution 106 is one more method to exert pressure on Turkey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
