U.S. and Iraq not likely to take measure on Kurdish issue

Iraqis and Americans had better prevent attacks of Kurdish rebels on the Turkish territory, thus making Turkey’s incursion into northern Iraq unnecessary, Tagesspiegel German newspaper reports.

“However, the U.S. and Iraq seem unlikely to take action. Western influence on Turkey is rather limited. It especially refers to Americans in Iraq. The U.S. Ambassador in Ankara was recently asked how the United States would react to armed raids of rebels settled on the territory of a neighbor state. The diplomat refrained from comments,” he said, Deutsche Welle reports.
