The New Anatolian / Ankara

April 25, 2008

The National Security Council (MGK) said it is important to talk to "all Iraqi groups and entities" which means Ankara is willing to establish meaningful dialogue with the Kurds of Iraq and the Kurdistan Regional Government.

The MGK said Turkey's civilian and miliyary leaders on Thursday evaluated the results of cross border operations against the PKK organization in northern Iraq.

Sources said the leaders were satisfied with the progress so far in the fight against the PKK in Southern kurdistan.

Issuing a statement following Thursday's meeting, the MGK stated that Turkey will continue to take measures against the PKK who pose a threat to Turkey's peace and security.

"We went over the developments in Iraq in general and stressed the importance of Turkey's holding talks with all Iraqi groups and entities," the MGK statement said.

Turkish official sources said the monition of "entities in Iraq" was a direct reference to the Kurdistan Regional Government which is led by Prime Minister Nechirvan Barzani.
