Turkey Offered To Form A Buffer Zone

The suggestions of Turkey were as follows:

1. Buffer Zone: There should be a buffer zone on the Turkey-Iraq border after the stability is fully ensured in Iraq, to prevent terrorist leakages. A UN force can serve in this zone.

2. Only Turkey: In the sections, which include Baghdad and northern and northwestern regions, where Turkey will serve, there should only be Turkish forces.

3. Turkey will hold the commandment: Turkey should hold the commandment in the sections where Turkish troops will serve. We think to send approximately 10 thousand troops.

4. Job for contractors: Turkish contractor firms should benefit from the restructuring of Iraq.
