Turkey To Be Built Along Southern Kurdistan Border
Erbil, 7 Sept. (AKI) - Turkey will erect a separation wall along the border with
northern Iraq (Southern Kurdistan) aimed at stopping infiltration of rogue
elements of the nationalist Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) inside their
territory, the Turkish daily Yeni Shefak reported, quoting unnamed military
sources.
The Turkish army will built a 470 km separation wall along the border with Iraqi
Kurdistan at an estimated cost of 2.8 million dollars, the paper said.
The wall will be protected with surveillance cameras, while rugged areas where
the wall cannot be built will be electronically controlled to detect any
violation of borders, the paper said
The PKK has established their headquarters on Mount Qandil, near the borders of
Iraq and Iran. |
