Turkish Kurds returning back to Turkey..

These same Kurds were forced in 1994 by the terrorist group PKK/KADEK to leave their homes near the Turkish-Iraqi border for northern Iraq and were based first in the Atrush camp and then moved to Mahmur, where they have been living for the last six years. In related news, Turkish and US forces have reportedly found at Mahmur a large cache of weapons and ammunition believed to belong to the PKK/KADEK. The matter was taken up yesterday during Foreign Minister Abdullah Gul’s meeting in Ankara with UN Iraq Envoy Sergio Vieira de Mello. Gul reportedly told de Mello that the camp effectively served as a shelter for PKK/KADEK militants and so should be closed down.
