/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Christian population flees northern Iraq,
where the Turkish troops fight Kurdish rebels.
As a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter came to know from the Iraqi Diocese of
the Armenian Apostolic Church, Christians leave the zone of hostilities
but there are not Armenians among them. "The Armenian community of
Iraq lives its usual life, everything is quiet," the source said.
As reported earlier, the Turkish warplanes flew as deep as 20 km
into Iraqi territory and some 300 ground troops advanced about 10 km,
killing 34 PKK rebels.
