U.S.: Turkey Should Avoid Iraq Action
October 13, 2007 16 25 GMT
Turkey should avoid any major military action in northern Iraq, U.S.
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said Oct. 13. The statement comes
ahead of Rice and U.S. Undersecretary of Defense Eric Edelman’s visit
to Turkey, where the government is asking parliament to approve a
major operation against Kurdistan Workers’ Party militants. An
unnamed Turkish diplomat told Reuters that the major issue for the
U.S. officials’ visit is a recently passed U.S. House resolution
recognizing the 1915 killings of Armenians as genocide.
