Ankara will extend its mounting concerns regarding developments in Iraq to the US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. Rice will be in Ankara today as part of her Europe and Middle East tour.
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan who will visit Indonesia this evening will receive Rice at the Esenboga Airport. Rice will also meet with President Ahmet Necdet Sezer and the Foreign Minister Abdullah Gul tomorrow.
Ankara will insist on Iraq's territorial integrity during the meetings and will stress that the changing demographic structure of Kerkuk (Kirkuk) could harm regional peace due to the migration of 110,000 Kurds to the region just before the Iraqi elections. "
