/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Iraq pleaded for time Wednesday to tackle Turkish
Kurd militants on its territory as Turkey’s parliament prepared to
authorize military strikes to crush the rebel bases.

"The Iraqi government should be given a chance to prevent the
cross-border terrorist activities," Iraqi Vice President Tareq
al-Hashemi said after talks with Turkish leaders in Ankara.

"Give us time to join forces with Turkey to tackle this problem,"
he said.

While Hashemi spoke of a "new atmosphere" to resolve the crisis,
the Turkish parliament was still expected later Wednesday to adopt a
government motion authorizing a military incursion against Kurdistan
Workers’ Party (PKK) bases in northern Iraq.

Iraq has numerously stated that it will consider incursion as
encroachment on its sovereignty.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
