Turkish soldiers entered two kilometers into Northern Iraq on
Wednesday. Passing the Iraqi border the Turkish military advanced into
the Dohuk region, where in the opinion of the Turkish command the
Kurdish Workers Party (PKK) is headquartered. Meanwhile, Turkish
artillery troops bombed camps near Zaho, Cihan News Agency reports
referring to the Voice of Iraqi Radio.
It is also reported that a division of the Turkish military entered
the Kveste village region in Ahmediye in order to conduct an operation
against the terror organization PKK.

Most excellent, the country should have been divided anyway. This way GWB's idiotic insistence on holding a fake country together will be underminded.

its apperantly over already and it was like only 200 soldiers. false alarm, (appearently bush rang erdogan). "Some 200 Turkish soldiers accompanied by village guards crossed the
border into northern Iraq in a military operation against Kurdistan
Workers' Party (PKK) militants, an Iraqi Kurdish media source reported
on Thursday.
Peyamner news agency, quoted Fahmi Sofi, an official with the Iraqi
Kurdistan Democratic Party, as stating that Turkish soldiers penetrated
into the Hork area near the border village of Kesta in Dahuk.
"At 3 p.m. on Wednesday we were informed that about 200 Turkish
soldiers and some village rangers encroached 2 kilometers inside the
border. Several hours later, they withdrew to the Turkish border," he
said without giving further detail.
Witnesses told the news agency that Turkish artillery last night
shelled the areas of Kely, Senat, Zaweta, Kely Besagha, Kloc and Alansh
in Zakho.
Turkish officials on Friday declined to comment on the incident but one
told The New Anatolian that nothing extraordinary had occurred on the
Iraq border and that the incident could have been a regular "hot
pursuit" operation.
Turkey has had around 1,000 Special Forces in northern Iraq near the
border monitoring the area since the mid-1990s to curb infiltration
into Turkey by PKK militants. Turkish security forces have regularly
carried out hot pursuit operations against PKK militants in the border
area." link

Plus I dont know, It is "invade to northern iraq". It is invade to PKK. Turks entered north iraq before, and no kurd(maybe one or two with mistake) harmed except pkk terrorist.

They don't speak enough about the Kurds, because we have never taken hostages, never hijacked a plane. But I am proud of this.

Well Mortaza, it's like saying Israel did not invade Lebanon, it invaded Hezbollah? It does not make any sense.

Totally wrong comperation, Turkey did not attacked civilians, bridges, ext. As I said before, Turkey entered north iraq, and no civilian death happened. Israel is attacking everything except hezbollah. She even attacked lebanon army and UN. Turkey never did this.
You are creating a ghost, and afraiding from it.

No, what I meant was that you can't call PKK a geographical region. The region PKK is hiding is in North Iraq. Hence "invading North iraq".

How do you know they'll not hit and kill civilians? Or bridges and buildings?
Everything can happen. And one thing is for sure, the kurdish civilians will be the losers - like the lebanese population.

Do you think If we arrest someone at north iraq, It would mean we arrested north iraq?
We are attacking some criminals at north iraq. It is not our guilt, that criminals live there, but guilt of kurdish authorities. If they dont do their responsibility, other will do.
And If we goes with your mentality, It is north iraq who attack turkey.

Sorry but now terrorist at north iraq is killing civilians in Turkey.
So It is reality some civilians at Turkey killed.(Not some possibility or guess)
This is not first time Turkey entered iraq, did you heard much civilian loss because of Turkey?
wanna give us some example? can you show me that Turkey attacked hospital, civilian houses ext? Or should we continue to talk ghost you created.

Yeah, exactly. That doesn't legitimate an attack on an other country.

So why do you think Turkey would kill civilians?
Yeah, exactly. That doesn't legitimate an attack on an other country
So what should we do? just watch when our people killed?
can you tell me why this country give permission this criminals live at their land?
can we say, Kurdish authorities support terrorism at Turkey?
dont you think, we have more question than you? you are talking about possibility of civilian death, I am talking about real civilian death.

You would have a point Cent if Turkey was levelling Suleymanie, but they are not.
If Israel only bombed Hezbollah, I would have no problem with it, it is their right in retaliation, but fact is that they are putting the lives of millions in danger, Turkey and Iran do no such thing when they attack rebel camps in Iraq.

Zagros, what if they go futher? What if they start hitting civilians?
The invasion has not started. If it does they will invade and kill everything suspicious.
Why Suleymanie? Why not a villiage which Iran and Turkey will claim "it was a rebel camp"?
We all know how it'll work.
