ANKARA — Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari arrived in Ankara Wednesday for talks with Turkish leaders to boost the fight against Kurdish rebels based in northern Iraq, the Anatolia news agency reported.
Zebari was to call on President Abdullah Gul before huddling with his Turkish counterpart Ahmet Davutoglu over a working dinner.
Last week, Turkey’s parliament extended the government’s mandate to order military strikes against Kurdish rebels holed up in neighbouring Iraq.
A surge of attacks by the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) also targeting civilians are piling pressure on Ankara, which has threatened to launch an incursion into northern Iraq to root out rebel bases.
Great article we should all never forget this :/
