>>Is it old news? Is it no news?

It's news about Turkey establishing an airbase in northern Iraq. The next day a follow up story told of the entire no-fly zone having been secured. It also told of two additional airbases unser US control which had been equipped recently.

>>And how reliable is the web-site you translated?

One of the largest newspapers in Turkey, and pretty reliable. Not necessarily the most conservative..

This was not the beginning of an invasion, but rather a positioning by the Turkish Armed Forces in anticipation one, and for the prevention of an ensuing land grab by third parties or oil well torchings or both.
