"Kurdish War: Current 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005
The Hizbollah Factor
August 27, 2006: The U.S. has agreed to coordinate US and Turkish policy toward the PKK Kurdish rebel organization. In the wake of the Israel-Hezbollah war, Turkey has insisted that the PKK poses a similar threat to Turkey that Hezbollah does to Israel (and for that matter, to Lebanon). The US has said it is committed to stopping the PKK. Iraq and Turkey have talked about cooperating. At the operational level, coordination would try to insure that Turkish forces in 'hot pursuit' of PKK guerrillas (ie, following the PKK from Turkey into northern Iraq) would not accidentally encounter Iraqi military forces. There would also be sharing of intelligence information."
