/PanARMENIAN.Net/ If Iraqi Kurds refuse to support in the U.S. in
fighting the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), labeled as a terrorist
organization by the Department of State, the U.S. may bombard the
bases of the Kurdish rebels, said professor Amatzia Baram of the
United States Institute of Peace.

The U.S. undertook to cooperate with administration of the Northern
Kurdistan for neutralization of PKK rebels at the Iraqi-Turkish
border, according to him. `If Iraq holds back, the United States will
have to allow a limited Turkish incursion. The Iraqi government is not
capable to control Baghdad, not to mention mountainous Kurdistan
situated hundreds of miles northward of the capital,’ he said, Trend
reports.

November 30, following the government’s approval of the cross-border
operation, Turkish artillery and helicopters shelled positions of the
Kurdish rebels. Reports said the operation was a success and the
enemy suffered fatal casualties
