Turkey invades Iraq after Kurdish rebels kill 26 Turkish soldiers

By Sahar Issa and Ipek Yezdani
McClatchy Newspapers

BAGHDAD — Turkey sent troops and fighter jets into Iraq Wednesday in "hot pursuit" of Kurdish rebels who killed more than 25 Turkish soldiers in multiple attacks in the southern Turkish province of Hakkari. It was the first cross-border violence in five years between Turkish troops and Kurdish guerrillas who Turkey says shelter in northern Iraq.

Another classic double standards from Turkey!

While Syria’s Kurds have stepped up to form an autonomous region in northern Syria similar to that in northern Iraq, Ankara does not intend to cease its support for the democratic transition in Syria. This process should be a “managed and controlled orderly transition” that does not drive forward the specific demands of particular ethnic or sectarian groups, the official said.

Following a stable transition process in the conflict-hit country, “The Syrian people should decide the future of the entire country,” the source said.

Ankara objects to the possibility of any safe haven for the PKK in northern Syria similar to that which the organization enjoys in the Kandil Mountains of northern Iraq.

In northern Iraq, Kurds have carved out a semiautonomous region, and fears are on the rise in Turkey that the same could happen on the country’s doorstep in northern Syria.

It's more than just double standards, it looks like Erdo is eyeing up his next conquest under the pretext of engaging the PKK in Syria. They pinched a bit of Syria last century now they are after a bit more. I wonder how close the US will allow them to get to Israel. A Turkey/Israel border - America's worst nightmare.


Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan reasserted on Thursday that Turkey will take measures to prevent Syrian Kurdish groups affiliated with the terrorist Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) from ruling northern Syria, a day after he announced that intervention in Syria is an “undisputed right” if terrorists within the troubled southern neighbor pose a threat to Turkey.

Jerry,

What you say mightwell happen, but then again, the opposite might happen too. I have been saying for a while, that the West has been egging Turkey on to get militarily involved in Syria, but Turkey has been reluctant to go in without the backing of NATO. Assad moving away from some areas in Syria to allow the Kurds to set up camp might well be the ultimate bait to get Turkey to come into Syria. This could be a HUGE trap set for Turkey to walk into. Assad may even turn the opposition, the PKK and his forces against Turkey's invasion into Syria which will not only save his butt, but they may even push deep into Turkey to claim land belonging to Syria as well as land belonging to the Kurds. If there is a full scale war that will break out, the Armenians will push from the other side to claim their land. Kurds in Iraq and Iran will do likewise. This will start the ball rolling for the break up of Turkey, should she lose, which the west will be happy with the outcome. The Cyprus problems will also get resolved under the above scenarios.This are the dangers for Turkey which is why they have been very reluctant to do anything in Syria without NATO. NATO will not take part, and if Turkey chooses to attack Syria, then they will be on their own to fight their own battles and NATO will not lift a finger to help them, much like the situation when the USA attacked Iraq.

Where is the outcry from these hypocrites when the GC religious sites in the Illegal Occupied northern Cyprus are desecrated and are used as bars, animal shelters and so on, and where worshippers are denied access to practice their religion..

OIC, Ankara warn Israel against using mosque as venue for wine festival

The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) and a senior Turkish government official have warned Israel against organizing a wine festival in the courtyard of the historic Be'er Sheva Mosque which is scheduled for Sept. 5-6.
OIC Secretary-General Ekmeleddin İhsanoğlu strongly criticized Israel on Saturday over its plans to use the mosque as a venue for a wine festival to promote the products of Israeli winemakers.

The Be'er Sheva Mosque was built during the Ottoman reign of the region and was turned into an Islamic museum on the orders of an Israeli high court in 2011.

İhsanoğlu described the recent plan as a violation to be added to the crime of closing the mosque and preventing Muslims from praying there.

“This violation is part of a series of ongoing attacks against Islamic sanctuaries and antiquities in Palestine aimed at obliterating and desecrating them, which is a deliberate provocation of Muslims in all parts of the world,” İhsanoğlu stated.
