Kuwait, good reporting , Turkey's invasion of Iraq will certainly knock the "Stuffing" against the PPK, as Turkey once again "Gobbles" up more territory.

there is no official name for the northern side of iraq but you have stated the place as " Iraq Kurdistance"
first of all this mistake is important (maybe not for you but for turkish). I see that the comment writers here
never faced with any terorrist action. One last comment:
"not the one who heard but the one who lived, feels what happened".
respects to all.
