Zebari to Gul: Is Kirkuk a Turkish City?

Sark al-Avsat, reporting behind-the-scenes information from the Neighboring Countries of Iraq Summit in Cairo last week, alleges that Zebari asked Gul, "Is Kirkuk a part of Turkey or Iraq?" The newspaper says that with this question Zebari sought a guarantee from neighboring countries that they would not interfere in Iraq’s internal affairs.

The newspaper also alleges that some ‘mutual quarrels and arguments’ took place during the meeting of Foreign Ministers.

On the topic of Israel’s activities in the region, Kuwait’s Al-Qabas newspaper reports that Zebari said, "We will announce Saddam Hussein’s relations with Israel soon."
