Turkish and Iraqi Kurdish Rapprochement Ominous for PKK
"Turkish and Iraqi Kurdish Rapprochement Ominous for PKK

05/13/2008 - By David Romano (from Terrorism Focus, May 13) - In a significant change of policy, Turkey recently initiated high-level official dialogue with the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) of Iraq. A columnist for the Turkish mass circulation daily Zaman commented that such an official dialogue “was not an ordinary step. It was a turning point in the approach to the Kurdish issue and broke a taboo” (Zaman, May 5). The talks—which focused on a wide range of political, economic and security issues—are the first to occur on such a high official level."
