ANKARA, Turkey, Oct. 17 (UPI) -- The Turkish parliament voted overwhelmingly Wednesday to allow its army to carry out military operations against Kurdish separatists in Iraq.
The resolution, which passed 507-19, gives Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan authority for a year to order cross-border operations, The Washington Post reported.
Other members of NATO oppose any Turkish military incursions into Iraq, The New York Times said. In the United States, President George w. Bush said Wednesday he did not think a cross-border operation is in Turkey's interest.
Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki said his government would act against any groups using his country as a base for raids against Turkey.
Turkish officials promised to avoid hasty action.
"After so many incidents we are at the point where patience has run out," said Cemil Cicek, the parliament speaker. "We are, however, a great nation and a great state. What suits a great nation is the exercise of patience at the point where patience has run out, to find the right way and lock on to the right target."
