Bush says No to Turkish troops entering northern Iraq
“We’re making it very clear to the Turks that we expect them not to come into northern Iraq. We’re in constant touch with the Turkish military as well as Turkish politicians. They know our policy,” he said. “And they know we’re working with the Kurds to make sure there’s not an incident that would cause there to be an excuse to go in.”
Turkey said on Saturday there was no truth in reports it had sent troops into Kurdish-controlled northern Iraq overnight, as US, European and NATO leaders made clear they wanted Ankara to stay out.
