/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "The decision of the Turkish parliament to approve
incursion into northern Iraq doesn't mean immediate action. This
decision is not unexpected," Director of the Institute of Oriental
Studies at the RA Academy of Sciences, prof. Ruben Safrastyan told
a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.
"Erdogan's government is free to act and it can launch operations
any moment. I do not think it will be a large-scale incursion. The
U.S. has already expressed discontent about this plan and will go on
pressing. We should not forget that Kurds are U.S. real allies in
the region. Although, judging from Erdogan's statements, Turkey is
ready to wrangle with the U.S.," he said.
October 17, despite U.S. and NATO's warnings, Turkish parliamentarians
okayed the government's plans on a cross-border operation into northern
Iraq for neutralization of the Kurdistan Workers' Party rebels.
