Erdogan Says Turkey Could Target Refugee Camp Deep Inside Iraq
|
[ENGLISH.AAWSAT] President His Enormity, Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan the First
 ...Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him. It's a sin, a shame, and a felony to insult the president of Turkey. In Anatolia did Recep Bey a stately Presidential Palace decree, that has 1100 rooms. That's 968 more than there are in the White House, 400 more than in Versailles, and 325 more than Buckingham Palace, so you know who's really most important...
has warned Iraq that The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the occupiers of Greek Asia Minor...
will "clean up" a refugee camp which it says provides a safe haven for Kurdish bad boys, threatening to take its long military campaign deeper inside Iraqi territory.
Ottoman Turkish forces have stepped up attacks on bases of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) inside northern Iraq over the last year, focusing their firepower and incursions mainly on a strip of territory up to 30 km (about 20 miles) inside Iraq.
But Erdogan said Makhmour, a camp 180 km south of the Ottoman Turkish border which has hosted thousands of Ottoman Turkish refugees for more than two decades, was an "incubator" for holy warriors and must be tackled.
"If the United Nations
...an organization conceived in the belief that we're just one big happy world, with the sort of results you'd expect from such nonsense...
does not clean it up, we will do it as a UN member," Erdogan said, adding that Ankara believed Makhmour posed as great a threat as the PKK's stronghold in the Qandil mountains further north.
"How long are we supposed to be patient about it?" he told Ottoman Turkish state broadcaster TRT in an interview late on Tuesday.
A senior Iraqi official told Rooters that Turkey complained last week to Baghdad about "terrorist activities launched by the PKK from their camp in Makhmour against Turkey".
Security commanders and local officials investigated the Ottoman Turkish complaint and told the government that the Makhmour camp was controlled by PKK fighters who did not allow access to government forces, the official said.
An Iraqi government front man did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The camp was established in the 1990s when thousands of Kurds from Turkey crossed the border in a movement Ankara says was deliberately provoked by the PKK.
The PKK, designated a terrorist organization by the United States and European Union
...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing...
, has fought an insurgency against the state in mainly Kurdish southeast Turkey since 1984. More than 40,000 people have been killed in the conflict.
Makhmour was targeted by Ottoman Turkish air strikes a year ago, although there were no reports of casualties at the time, but a senior Ottoman Turkish official said it was now a priority for Ankara.
"Makhmour camp is being used as one of the logistics centers in attacks against Turkey or the Ottoman Turkish Armed Forces," the official said. "It's time now, it has to be cleansed of PKK."
