Is the Turkish Army facing a “Tora Bora” War in Kurdistan?
As the US War in Iraq seems to diminish into acceptable proportions late 2007, a new crisis is arising in Iraq’s north, as Turkish Armed Forces started a massive land operation against PKK into Kurdistan before. Led by the Turkish Army’s 7th Corps, commanded by General Bekir Kalyoncu, a division sized force, supported by armor and airpower, is rapidly moving into a sofar limited area of some 35-40 kilometers, before entering into the mountain hideouts of the PKK. Alas, the latter will be quite a different ballgame.
