ANKARA, Jan 16 (AFP) - A senior Turkish official has cautioned Iraqi electoral authorities to reject the registration of Kurdish voters in Kirkuk who are not legally entitled to vote in the oil-rich northern city, a Turkish newspaper reported Sunday.
The official was speaking after the Kurds reached a deal with the Iraqi government Friday that cleared the way for an estimated 100,000 Kurds expelled from Kirkuk under Saddam Hussein's regime, to vote for the new government in Tamim province, where the city is located, in the January 30 elections.
