Two recent Iraq-related events hold special significance for Turkey. One is the terror agreement signed between Turkey and Iraq in Ankara. The other is the resolution adopted by the U.S. Senate on the desirability of a loose federal structure in Iraq. The agreement signed between the Turkish and Iraqi Interior Ministers on combating the PKK presence and activities in Iraq has generally been met with skepticism by Turkish commentators. One opposition leader has called it “an omelet without an egg.” The main criticism is that the agreement does not contain the key clause of “hot pursuit,” thereby rendering the whole document ineffective and practically useless. Without it, the reasoning goes, the Turkish military cannot cross the border into Iraq to go after the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) terrorists. "
