Why is Bush worried about Turkey going into Northern Iraq to neutralize the PKK Rebels?

Question

Turkey has been dealing with PKK for decades and they have lost at least 50,000 lives from PKK rebel attacks and explosions & billions of dollars worth of damages. Bush might need to approach this subject with a little bit more empathy; what would the US do if they were caught in a situation like this? Prime minister speaks to Charlie Rose, his talk from a few weeks ago:

NoMore, I disagree with your premise, once again the topic has moved to the alleged genocide topic. Much of the public's opinion has been shaped by politicians for this topic, sadly, whereas this should be a topic should first be discussed by historians. The Turkish government has opened their archives and welcomed other governments and other countries to open their archives, and they are looking forward to resolve this problem, and frankly they don't deserve all these unsubstantial, politics-induced accusations. Would you like to be accused of such a devastating event? The Turkish Prime Minister makes a very good point, if you have 6 minutes, you can you can fast forward to 49:40 of his talk with Charlie Rose, if you want to hear both sides of the issue.

Answer 1

Turks are known for genocide and all kurds look alike to Turks.

aqdded. there are Turkish troops in northern Iraq and have been for a while now.

Answer 2

To answer that question we need to ask what kind of country is Turkey?
I answer my own question:
Turkey is a country that still Denys the massacres done against other nations.

So let me ask you a question. Would you let a killer to enter to your home where your family lives?

Respons:
I see you address to me and I fill I need to answer.
It is all a big BS that turkey opened its archives. They agreed to supply some documents but not all.

There is no need the historians to decide about this since many historians from different countries already gave their opinions about this and stated that the Armenian genocide actually happened.
The historians can’t do anything if Turkey government is still denying it. So it has to be solved by counties level.

To give you one document that proves that the Armenian genocide happened, check the link below. Here is a document (US Ambassador of Constantinople reporting to Washington) that proves it. You can find many similar reports in the site they are all in the government's archives.

Answer 3

There are heaps of groups who claim to represent the Kurds in Iraq, Turkey and Syria.How can Bush sit down with those guys before they talk with a common voice?

Answer 4

what happens when Turkey goes into Iraq, goes to far, and gets involved with U.S. troops? that situation would not be easy to solve. Plus the Iraqis dont want Turkey to invade, obviously, and this might gain more American support, although highly unlikely.

Answer 5

Because Bush wants to control Iraq -- and he cannot do that if other countries get involved.

There is no logic to support the idea that Turkey cannot go after the terrorists who have been attacking their border -- if our mission in Iraq is to stop terrorists, then we should allow Turkey to go after the people who attacked them.

Answer 6

Because the Kurdish area is the only stable region in Iraq. They do not want problems there as well.

Answer 7

cos it would disturb the "progress" in iraq.
