 TURKEY INVADES IRAQ |
ANKARA [MENL] -- After nearly two years of threats, Turkey has invaded Iraq.Officials said thousands of Turkish Army troops moved into northern Iraq
on Wednesday in an operation against the Kurdish insurgency. They said the
troops, in the largest invasion since 1997, were attacking suspected bases
of the Kurdish Workers Party in the autonomous Iraqi region of Kurdistan."This is a limited operation and not an invasion," an official said.
"There will not be a Turkish presence in northern Iraq."Officials said the operation encompassed about 15,000 Turkish soldiers
and reached some five kilometers into Iraq. They said the focus of the
operation was PKK bases in the Kandil mountains.
