Turkish Foreign Ministry threatened the Kurds

You can under­stand this late state­ment issued by Maliki’s gov­ern­ment, if you read this state­ment released by the Turk­ish For­eign Forign Affairs Min­istry on their web­site. A direct diplo­matic threat to the Kurds in case they start any mil­i­tary oper­a­tion to takeover Kirkuk.

You need to check the Asso­ci­a­tion of Mus­lim schol­ars state­ment about Kirkuk, it can sum­ma­rized with this line:

Life span of the occu­pa­tion is short, and this of the col­lab­o­ra­tors is shorter

Good argu­ment from Al-Akhbar saying:

notice that they are the same terms used by the Shi­ite reli­gious par­ties], as if they were not allies few days ago, and as if Sad­dam Hus­sein him­self was not their ally in pre­vi­ous periods.
