Kurdish problem has nothing to do with Armenian Genocide ResolutionOctober 18, 2007 - 13:43 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - The decision of the Turkish parliament to approve the government's plan on intrusion into Iraq has nothing to do with the Armenian Genocide resolution, Director of the Caucasus Media Institute, Dr Alexander Iskandaryan told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter."Turkey is concerned over developments in northern Iraq, where Kurdistan exists de facto. Furthermore, Iraqi Kurds exert strong influence upon Turkish Kurds. This is a very serious factor for Turkey. Gul's meeting with Syrian President Bashar Al-Asad was not accidental. There are Kurds in Syria. However, unlike Turkey, Syria doesn't have problems with Armenians. Arab states have always been very correct as regard the Armenian issue. Nevertheless, both Turkey and Syria have a headache - Kurds," Iskandaryan said. October 17, despite U.S. and NATO's warnings, Turkish parliamentarians gave open passage to the government's plans on a cross-border operation into northern Iraq for neutralization of the Kurdistan Workers' Party rebels.
