"US permanent in Iraq to dry terror and energy sources"

Speaking at the Balikesir Chamber of Industry’s assembly, Yircali said that the US has permanently come to the Middle East within a short and long period.

“Turkish state and government should accept this reality because the US is permanent in the Middle East in terms of drying the source of terror and control the energy. The issue is not limited with Iraq. It’s the matter of the Middle East, terror and energy,” Yircali said.

Claiming that Turkey could have benefit if it had passed the proposal regarding the Turkish deployment in Iraq on March 1, Yircali said, “However, the parliament rejected it and lost many chances. If the Turkish troops were sent to Iraq on time, we would not try to control the matter from far. Now Turkey has caught a second chance. We hope not to loose this second one. It’s better to send the Turkish soldier there.”

Speaking of the economic developments, Yircali said the end-year inflation would be 23 percent and the interest rates fall while the exports rises.
