U.S. Troops Will Defend Northern Iraq Against Turks
STRATEGY PAGE
March 26, 2007: The PKK attacks Turkey expected on March 21-22 (Nevruz, spring festival) didn't occur. Nevruz festivities throughout Turkey, and especially Kurdish areas, proceeded with few incidents. This is good news. Turkish security forces began preparing in early February for a PKK Spring offensive. There was concern that the Nevruz holiday would mark the beginning of the PKK attacks. The Turkish security preparations made many Iraqis anxious. Iraqi Kurds and the Iraqi government are trying to prevent a large Turkish invasion of northern Iraq. Many feared that a "bloody Nevruz" might lead to Turkish action. Turkey still maintains that PKK rebels inside Iraq are preparing for offensive strikes later in the year.
