Turkish deployment to Iraq: will have a zone under Turkish command

August 19— The US has given an unofficial response to the Turkish General Staff on Tuesday regarding Turkey’s conditions for taking part in an international stability force in Iraq.
The response, a written document conveyed by the US European Forces Commander General James Jones, is an evaluation of a series of queries and reservations put forward by Ankara regarding any possible deployment of Turkish troops in Iraq.

Diplomatic and military sources said that the US has given the green light to Turkish troops being under the command of a Turkish officer and of the contingent having its own zone of operations.

I would have prefered no troops for Iraq at all, but if then only under Turkish command, never trust Americanos and British again!

These two issues were among the key conditions set by Turkey regarding the deployment. However, responses to other questions, especially those related to the terrorist group the PKK/KADEK, currently active in the north of Iraq, have not been revealed as yet.

Huh? Our silly politicians are still thinking that the so called American war on terror is a serious thing, wake up guys.
