Does Turkey has the right to do so?
Discuss.
Turkey is just following the US's lead. Borders don't exist anymore. It's all just land that is free to be occupied should any empire choose to occupy it.
We no longer have countires...we just have Empires.
Welcome to the new world order.

Turkish troops had to enter N. Iraq since the Kurdish terrorist group, PKK and its militants, hide in Northern Iraq. PKK never agreed to drop the guns and kept attacking the villages and killing people.
Actually over 30.000 people were killed just by the PKK last 20-30 years.
There was a huge debate over this issue couple months ago when the US government strictly opposed Turkey's entry. There was a huge chaos in Turkey and there were some traumatic events for the Turkish public, demonstrations etc..
I certainly believe that Turkey has the right to defend itself against terrorism as much as any country and I hope Turkish troops will find those 2000 PKK militants in the mountains on N. Iraq and get rid of the PKK problem once and for all.
I am just so sick of PKK, this has been a big issue since I was born. Turkey had to put 25% of its GDP to military and only, .025% to education.
Turkey needs to solve this problem asap and so that focus on other important issues.

Why not? Everyone else seems to have done so.
That's what uniting does for a people.
Imagine the power of a United States of the Middle East...
But no, they're too stupid...too tied to the Jewish religion they call Islam Clearly the USA and friends will rule the world.

Ya but i don't know if their reach goes that far around.
However Putin is not a real man like Kasparov. Kasparov is a man worthy of respect. Putin only deserves the respect due his power, which is great, but in the long run is nothing.

Yeah, but I got ripped off by a Kurd. He hired me and never paid me for my work.
Turkish and Kurdish people are brothers. This is an issue between the terrorist group and Turkey. That's all.
