Hurriyet: A second Turkish gate in northern Iraq
Iraq-Turkey, Politics, 9/4/2002

The Turkish daily Hurriyet said on Tuesday that Turkey has found a new formula to open a second border gate, in collaboration with Syria and this was following the US rejection of Turkish plans to open a border gate in northern Iraq area.

The paper said that the new border gate will be opened by Turkey at the point where the borders of the three countries Syria, Iraq and Turkey meets. This will enable having access to the Turkman area directly and not through the only border gate currently existing that links between Turkey and Iraq and is controlled by the Kurdistani Democratic party led by Masoud al-Barazani.

The paper indicated that it is expected that the Syrian prime minister Mustafa Miro will visit Turkey during this month in order to discuss the issue of the new border gate in addition to discussing the issue of building a joint station for natural gas in al- Qamishli area on the Syrian- Turkish border. Views are unanimous on the importance of using the Syrian natural gas in the Turkish Ghazi Intab and the surrounding area.

The paper indicated the proposal made by the Iraqi trade minister Mahdi Saleh during the visit he made recently to Turkey on the possibility of putting certain projects between the three countries Syria, Iraq and Turkey into actual implementation.
