My understanding was that Turkey would like to reclaim lost territories in Northern Iraq, particularly the oil city, Kirkuk(?).
I also understand it's a Kurdish area and the Kurds don't want the Turks and the Turks are afraid of the headache that region would cause and the uprising it might create among their own Kurds.
Is that correct?

You mean to rid Turkey of Christians---
The anniversary date for the genocide of the Christians and the burning of Smyrna.

Turkey long ago forfeited its right to have an administrative say in the redevelopment of Iraq. The US did something that benefitted the entire world, but Turkey could not bring itself to see beyond its own nose.
I would like to see some positive cooperation from Turkey before I would acquiesce to serving its interests in Iraq.

I have been clear in my support for Turkish troops in Iraq. There is much to be gained all the way around.
But not if the price is increased UN involvement. If that is the price, the price is too high.
