Today the Turkish parliament has approved inquiry of the government of the country on intervention into the territory of Iraq for carrying out of the campaign directed against Kurdish separatists. The given decision was accepted by the majority of voices. Nevertheless, the decision of parliament does not mean the immediate beginning of operation.
On the eve the prime minister of Turkey has declared the “sincere desire that this step has been never made”, having emphasized, that the sanction to intervention does not mean, that it will follow immediately.
In some days Iraq will direct to Turkey delegation of politicians and representatives of power structures for discussion of the developed situation on the Turkish-Iraq border. Official Baghdad is ready to counteract terrorists from the Kurdish working party and to stop their activity against Turkey.
Deterioration of state on the Turkish-Iraq border has begun several days ago. Kurdish insurgents have killed up to two tens Turkish militarians, having untied, thus, hands to Ankara. On October, 14th the Turkish artillery has fired at village in the north of Iraq.
