Turkey and allied forces responded by establishing a safe zone on the Iraqi side of the border with Turkey to protect refugees and provide humanitarian relief -- which was later expanded into a protectorate over the Iraqi Kurds in the form of a no-fly zone.
Turska i savezničke snage odgovorili su uspostavom zaštićene zone s iračke strane granice prema Turskoj, kako bi zaštitili izbjeglice i pružili humanitarnu pomoć -- što je poslije prošireno u protektorat nad iračkim Kurdima u obliku zone zabrane letenja.
