Premijer Recep Tayyip Erdogan je ranije ove sedmice izjavio za štampu da odobravanje vojnog upada na sjever Iraka nije neposredno na dnevnom redu njegove vlade, ali ga nije ni isključio nakon općih izbora zakazanih za 22. juli.
Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan told the press earlier this week that authorisation of a military incursion into northern Iraq is not on his government's immediate agenda, but he did not rule it out after the general elections scheduled for July 22nd.
