"PRO-CON: Does Turkey have reasons to attack Kurdish rebels in Iraq? YES Perhaps the Turkish government is upset that Congress is discussing whether to label as genocide their involvement in killing 1.5 million Armenians during World War I. Perhaps Turkey is testing how much value America places on having military bases on Turkish soil from which we can wage the war in Iraq. Or maybe Turkey is simply tired of being attacked by Kurdish rebels based in northern Iraq. Whatever the case, on Wednesday the Turkish legislature approved sending 60,000 soldiers and the accompanying arms into Iraq to deal with the Kurdistan Workers’ Party, or PKK."
