The Turkish daily Hurriet unveiled in its Monday's issue that the Turkish intelligence has prepared a report on violations made by the chairman of the Kurdistani democratic party Masout Barazani in behaving like the head of state for Kurdistan.

The paper said that the report indicated that Kurdistan stamp is put on the official passports and documents in the area controlled by the party, while flags of the party were hoisted on official buildings and schools there.

The report which was prepared on the wake of the visit to be made by the Turkish prime minister Polent Acawid to Washington said that al-Barazani stressed to his close sources the need of establishing the state of Kurdistan and not to maintain the unity of the Iraqi territories.

The Turkish mass media said that Acavid will renew during his visit to Washington Turkey's opposition to found a Kurdish state in northern Iraq and its support to the Iraqi territories' sovereignty and unity.
