. | Erdogan said on Tuesday that there has been no resolution with the PKK domestically and, therefore, talk of an Iraq invasion was a long way off.
“Has the fight with the 5,000 terrorists finished domestically that we should now be talking about Iraq?” he said. Turkey has warned of a cross-border offensive into northern Iraq, where an estimated 4,000 PKK members are based and from where the group is accused of staging attacks into Turkey. The Justice and Development (AK) party government has said it backs the Turkish army, which has recommended the cross-border offensive |
