Barzani And Talabani To Hold Contacts In Ankara

Visits of Talabani and Barzani are of importance because they are taking place in a period when a possible operation on Iraq is being shaped up.
Some statements of Barzani, who paid his last visit to Ankara on May 7-8, against Turkey led to tension in relations.
Talabani stopped by Ankara for five times when he went and returned from opposition group meetings in 2002.
Barzani and Talabani are expected to start their contacts in Ankara on Wednesday.
