TURKEY: Military Agreement With US Concluded 
  
-[Conditions include] that, if the US forces enter
Northern Iraq and provide arms to the local Kurdish
opposition groups, these arms will be returned to the
US, under the supervision of Turkish officers, at the
end of any conflict against Iraq.



Turkey and the US have set the military terms of an
agreement by which Ankara will allow American forces
to be stationed in Turkey. 

Among these are reportedly the condition that, if the
US forces enter Northern Iraq and provide arms to the
local Kurdish opposition groups, these arms will be
returned to the US, under the supervision of Turkish
officers, at the end of any conflict against Iraq.

Turkey�s Defence Minister Vecdi G�n�l announced on
Thursday that the agreement on the military aspects of
the deployment had been concluded.

However, some elements of the financial side of the
package to be provided by Washington in return for
allowing US troops into Turkey have yet to be settled.

The Turkish parliament was expected to vote on
Thursday on whether to grant permission for US forces
to be stationed within Turkey, but the government
delayed the debate until at least Saturday, reported
NTV.
