The Guardian pointed out that Ankara has its own Iraq agenda: "Turkey, which already maintains troops in northern Iraq, is moving heavy armour and reinforcements to its south-eastern border. Ankara says its aim is to protect ethnic Turkmens and stem a 1991-type refugee exodus. But it makes no secret of its intention to seize a large swath of Iraqi territory once war begins." Another key Turkish objective is preventing Kurdish statehood. The prospect of a large-scale, long-term Turkish presence in Kurdish areas may well resuscitate the dormant Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), the group that fought for independence for Turkey's 15 million Kurds, and that declared a cease-fire three years ago. According to the Guardian, Turkey has refused permission for British troops to deploy "in support of American ground forces preparing a northern front against Saddam Hussein's regime" because senior officers fear the British "are trying to influence the Iraqi Kurds to create distrust for Ankara." slate.msn.com
