Turkey continues to attack Kurds in Iraq although USA and Russia advised Turkey to desist from carrying out any invasion of northern Iraq to eliminate rebel Kurdish positions. However it has recently sent its combat air craft to bomb rebel position in mountainous areas in Northern Iraq. Use of air force is important. Earlier it used helicopter gunships and long range artillery. US is worried that the peaceful northern Iraq would be disturbed by Turkish attacks. It earlier got into an agreement to share intelligence on the rebels. Turkey has been fighting Kurdish rebels in its own country since 1984 at southern province which is adjascent to Iraq. Turkey -Kurd problem could become another Kashmir issue boiling like cauldron eternally.
