>>> Without Turkey, an attack on Iraq is practically a non-starter....

>>> ... and to get Turkish support we are going to have to pony up at the bar and pay the tab:

``As a consequence of the Gulf War, Turkey has lost over $50 billion in trade with its neighbors and traditional trading partners,''

" Analysts said Turkey is trying to translate this new significance into economic aid."

"Ecevit told Cheney that Turkey wants to see more U.S.-Turkish trade and in particular would like the United States to ease tariffs on Turkish exports, the officials said."

``It has always been our objective to bring our economic and trade relations with the United States up to the level of the existing strategic alliance between our two countries,'' Ecevit said in his speech at the chamber. The premier said he wants to negotiate establishment of Qualified Industrial Zones, as Washington established in Jordan. Output from the zones enters the United States free of tariffs or quotas."

>>> And we are going to have to support the carving-out of a Turkmen oil-rich region, as well as the Kurdish enclave:

"Sazak said the Turks are floating the idea that alongside the autonomous Kurdish region, an autonomous area for Iraq's Turkmen minority should be created. Turkey would want the oil-rich area of Kirkuk to be under control of the Turkmen, with whom Turkey has close ties."
