Ozkok: Victory of U.S. Will Benefit Turkey

Ozkok said that instability in Iraq was to the disadvantage of Turkey and that, “If U.S. fails, there the resulting instability will harm Turkey. We, as the army, are trying to understand what may happen? Can Turkey remain out of it? We should also estimate what can happen if we do not go there. In that sense timing is an art.”

On the results of the "Return-to-Home" Law Ozkok said, “Other developments will affect the results of that law. For instance, we know the attitude of U.S. towards PKK, however we do not know her behaviors toward it. The way in which U.S. will act will affect this very much. In this sense, for the time being the law did not disappoint us. However we cannot say that it accomplished many things.”
