Any move by Turkish troops into Kurdish territory would be a declaration of
war, the region’s leader said yesterday.
</P><P>
President Barzani gave the warning as a new wave of clashes inside Turkey left
up to 20 Kurdish guerrillas dead. He said that Ankara was using its
grievances with the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) as an excuse to challenge
the growing prosperity and independence enjoyed by Iraqi Kurds in their
largely autonomous region.
</P><P>
“If they invade or if there is any incursion, it means war,” Mr Barzani said
at his offices on the outskirts of Arbil. “If they attack our people, our
interests, our territories then there will be no limit because everything is
subject to that incursion.”

Mr Barzani also expressed a strong desire to avoid a return to a period of
Kurdish tensions with Turkey, Syria and Iran – countries where Kurds have
settled – and emphasised the need to recognise the rights of millions of
Kurds</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/B6C8D0A8-8F7A-498D-AC67-25F9D68B4C86/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
