Turkey: "no incursion into Iraq"
As epaminondas has posted before, Turkish Army has entered Iraq -although later they have denied it- allegedly to pursue PKK terrorists.
The problem that this poses to US -and to West in general- is that both Turkish and Kurds are important US allies. Turkey is facing a very unstable situation specially as a result of the tension between laicists-kemalists and islamists -now in Government-. Kurds are an important US-ally in Iraq and an important enemy for Iranian mullahs, but in an important number they are also supporters of PKK, an organisation considered by US as a terrorist one.
This moves comes as Sarkozy has declared that he will not oppose to EU-Turkey talks about Turkish integration in EU -after his rejectment during all the electoral campaign, which has caused the natural criticism- and when Orthodox Patriarch Bartholomew I wants Turkish Muslims to have the same rights the Muslims have both in Europe and in Turkey.
