Turkish Airspace Not Open, Talks Continue-Official

"We didn’t open our airspace yet. We are continuing discussions with the United States this evening," a foreign ministry official told Reuters.
Parliament held a long-awaited vote on Thursday, the day war broke out, granting permission for U.S. warplanes to cross Turkish territory for operations in northern Iraq.
But missions Washington hoped could go ahead immediately, became bogged down in all-night talks over terms. A foreign ministry source said there were snags over the use of the airspace and Ankara’s plans to move troops into northern Iraq.
Washington opposes any unilateral dispatch of Turkish troops to northern Iraq, fearing clashes with local Kurds who control the area would disrupt the U.S. campaign.
Ankara fears a possible Kurdish bid to use a war to create an independent state could revive separatism among its own Kurds.
