Decision on cross-border operation in Iran expected after Erdogan-Bush meeting

The decision on a cross-border operation in northern Iran will be taken after formal visit of Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan to the United States, chief of the Turkish general staff Yashar Buyukanit said.

“Some measures are being taken presently. However, I can’t furnish any details. We are waiting for a meeting of our Prime Minister and U.S. President George Bush. It’s very important,” he said.

Upon return from Romania, the Turkish PM said he will hold an open and exact conversation with U.S. President Bush on November 5, NTV-Turk reported.
