    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ The armed forces chief, General Yasar Buyukanit,
    said the military is ready and waiting for the government to order the
    cross-border operation

    "A short time after our units are given a task, they will be able to
    carry it out. That is the point at which we are. We are now waiting
    for the order that will come from the government," Cumhurriyet quoted
    Buyukanit as saying.

    `23 previous operations produced no effect with an exception of three
    major ones carried out in 1992, 1995 and 1997.

    The trans-border operation has several aspects, including political
    and diplomatic, according to him. `We are dealing with its military
    aspect,' he said.

    can't neutralize the PKK but can inflict a serious damage,' he said,
