Sabah: Turkey and border gates with Syria, Iraq
Turkey-Iraq, Politics, 10/7/2002
The Turkish daily Sabah said Saturday that Turkey has been accelerating steps to open new border gates with Syria and Iraq as an alternative for the "Khabour" border Gate which is situated on the Turkish- Iraqi borders. A Gate which is expected to be closed in case an American military attack is launched against Iraq.
The paper added that the US had given to Turkey guarantees that give the Turkmans in the city of Karkouk and al-Mousel a self rule authority following the toppling of the Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, and this will be for Turkey's opening its lands for the American forces to cross to Iraq.
The paper explained that the decision of the American forces to enter Turkey needs the consent of the Turkish parliament.
