Talabani said that the problems between Turkey and Iraq regarding the fight against the PKK terrorist organization should be resolved through dialogue, mutual understanding and international law. Talabani met with Turkish ambassador to Baghdad Unal Cevikoz on Friday evening in Iraq. Talabani and Cevikoz discussed possible measures to be taken against the PKK. Talabani told Cevikoz that a representative of the local Kurdish administration in north of Iraq should be invited to attend a tripartite meeting between Turkey, the US and Iraq regarding the PKK. Turkish ambassador Cevikoz was cold at the proposal. "Turkey wants to see concrete action, not promises, from Iraq," Cevikoz told Talabani. Turkey has repeatedly called on the Iraqi government to take swift action against the PKK terrorists who hide in northern Iraq and cross into Turkey to carry out terrorist attacks. Turkey had carried out cross-border operations against the PKK in northern Iraq in the past. Some 3500-4000 PKK terrorists are believed to be based in northern Iraq.
