- As Turkey-Iraq crisis escalates, US plans military strikes on PKK bases
  Posted by Sandyenglish
  Washington is clearly desperate to prevent a Turkish military intervention in Iraq or a breach in the US/Turkish alliance. Quite apart from long-term strategic considerations, the US military funnels around 70 percent of its air cargo to Iraq via a major US air base in southern Turkey. At the same time, more than 1,000 Turkish troops are in Afghanistan as part of NATO forces, helping to prop up the US-led occupation of that country.

- Social tensions at the forefront in run-up to Turkish parliamentary elections
  Posted by Sandyenglish
  On Sunday, July 22, Turkey will vote for a new parliament. The fact that these elections are taking place in July and not, as scheduled, in November is a reflection of the profound divisions in Turkish society.

Lenore G. Martin: Turkey's Iraq Problem
While I don't agree with the aims and solutions proffered by Martin, she is right that we are in an untenable position - caught in between two allies. Turkey, with the approval of Iran, may escalate to full-scale war with Kurdistan. Remember Cyprus.
