Turkey Complains Of Incursion Of U.S. Fighter Jets

The airspace violation came amid intensified debate in Turkey about whether to stage a military incursion into northern Iraq to hit Kurdish rebels bases in the region. It raised speculation in Turkey that the U.S. was spying on the Turkish military's possible preparation for a cross-border offensive. Turkish media have been reporting that the army was massing troops and tanks along the border, including in Uzumlu. Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said this week he would back Turkey's generals if they decide to strike Kurdish rebels in Iraq. The U.S. opposes Turkish military action, which Washington fears could destabilize northern Iraq, the calmest part of the country. http://english.pravda.ru/news/world/29-05-2007/92391-us_plane-0
