Speaking on Turkey’s planned incursion into norhern Iraq to contain Kurdish rebels, Bush said, “We are making it very clear to Turkey that we don’t think it is in their interests to send troops into Iraq.”
“Actually, they have troops already stationed in Iraq. And they’ve had troops stationed there for quite a while. We don’t think it’s in their interests to send more troops in,” he added. Bush said the United States in talks with Turkey was pressing Washington’s message that it understands the concerns about the Kurdish rebel group but “there’s a better way to deal with the issue than having the Turks send massive troops into (Iraq).”
