Sabah, Turkey
Oct 23 2007
Prime Minister Erdoðan gave the US Minister of Foreign Affairs
Condoleezza Rice the message to either, "hand over the PKK terrorists’
ringleaders or to work together with us in this operation."
Erdoðan, who spoke to Condoleeza Rice during the terrorism summit,
said: "if you do not want the Turkish army to hold a cross-border
operation, then you should hand over the terrorists as soon as
possible." Rice, who requested a few days, said: "if you carry out
a cross-border operation at this point, it will damage the Armenian
bill as well as our common interests."
"Give them to us before we enter Iraq"
Erdoðan called Rice during the terrorism summit and said: "if you do
not want the Turkish army to hold a cross-border operation, then you
should do something as soon as possible." Rice said: "if you carry out
a cross-border operation at this point, it will damage the Armenian
bill as well as our common interests."
According to SABAH’s diplomatic sources, Erdoðan called Rice during
the terrorism summit and said: "if you do not want the Turkish army
to hold a cross- border operation, then you should go in before us."
Rice stated: "if you carry out a cross-border operation at this point,
it will damage the Armenian bill and our common interests."
After the USA requested more time, the same message was communicated
to the US ambassador Ross Wilson. Ankara has changed their plans and
the Minister of Foreign Affairs Babacan’s US visit has been delayed
once again.
