Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan late Wednesday described Massoud Barzani, president of autonomous northern Iraq, as a “tribe leader” and argued that Barzani's Iraqi Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) supports the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) terrorists. Erdoğan, in an interview with the private Kanal 24 TV station, criticized media reports on a possible cross-border operation into northern Iraq, noting, “If Turkey will conduct such an operation it won't be done loudly. The responsible authorities will make the decisions but Parliament authorization is needed as well.” |

Michael Rubin, a resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute and a former Pentagon official, claimed on Friday that Turkey caused radical Islamic organization Hamas to gain international legitimacy by inviting its leaders to Ankara in February 2006. "Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's decision to welcome representatives of Hamas to Ankara in February 2006, undercut Turkish efforts to delegitimize the (outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party) PKK, which like the Palestinian terrorist groups, justifies its actions in national liberation," Rubin told an international symposium “New Dimensions of Security and International Organizations” at the War Academies Command in Istanbul. |
