Turkey: U.S. Promise For PKK

Edelman gave important messages at the symposium of the 6th International Defense Industry Fair in which he addressed. He said that they wanted a democratic Iraq and attached importance on the territorial integrity of this country.
He cited the three objectives of U.S. saying that: We aim at rescuing Iraq from the threat of terror to ensure international cooperation to rebuild the country and to hand over the administration to Iraqis. The promise of Bush to cleanse terror in Iraq includes PKK/KADEK too. No one should doubt that U.S. and Turkey will act together and actively against the PKK-KADEK threat.

Cyprus
In a surprising move on Cyprus, the Ambassador also said that Turkish Cypriot President Denktas must bring an end to block progress in Cyprus. He said that the Annan Plan was a solution to the interests of the Cypriot people. Warning that time was closing up, Edelman called on international observers to monitor the elections in Northern (Turkish) Cyprus and for fair elections in this part of the island.
