And it's creating a huge headache for U.S. policymakers. Impatient at continued attacks against Turkey by the Kurdish guerilla group PKK (Kurdish Workers' Party), whose members are based mostly in northern Iraq, Turkey has moved troops and tanks close to the border with Iraq. Iraqi newspapers have expressed concerns that Turkey may be planning to cross the border in pursuit of the PKK guerrillas. http://www.worthynews.com/news/abcnews-go-...int-id-3232007/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also Turkey has the largest population of Kurds something like 12 to 15 million! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
