During a visit to Washington last week, Buyukanit said two parties -- those of Massoud Barzani, the leader of the Kurdish regional government in Iraq, and of Iraqi President Jalal Talabani -- were supporting the rebels in northern Iraq and that the border between that region and Turkey is completely unguarded.
Tijekom posjeta Washingtonu prošlog tjedna, Buyukanit je kazao kako dvije stranke -- ona Massouda Barzania, čelnika kurdske regionalne vlade u Iraku, i iračkog predsjednika Jalala Talabania -- podupiru pobunjenike u sjevernom Iraku, te kako je granica između ove regije i Turske u cijelosti nezaštićena.
