On April 15 an Iranian delegation arrived in Turkey to finalize a security convention that has been in the planning stages for the last two to three years and for discussions on joint measures against Kurdish PKK and PJAK guerrillas based in northern Iraq. The 12th Iran-Turkey High Security Commission meetings are in accordance with an agreement concluded by Iran and Turkey on border security in August 1999 (Islamic Republic News Agency, April 15). The last bilateral meeting concerning joint security measures against PKK and PJAK guerrilla attacks was held in 2006, prior to Turkey's limited incursion into northern Iraq in February against the PKK based there (Sabah, April 15)."
