Turkey's newly elected government is prepared to turn its back on its long-standing alliance with the United States to counter the threat of Kurdish terrorism, one of the closest allies of the prime minister has warned.

Egemen Bagis: Turkey set to defy US and hunt Kurdish rebels Egemen Bagis said the US must appreciate that Turkey was prepared to go into Iraq

Egemen Bagis, foreign policy advisor to Recep Tayyip Erdogan, said Turkish forces were prepared to mount operations against Kurdish PKK fighters who had taken refuge in Iraq, because the US had failed to intervene.

"We are hoping we will not have to do it. We are hoping that our allies will start doing something, but if they don't we don't have many options," he said.

"Our allies should help us with the threat, which is clear and present. If an ally is not helping you, you either question their integrity or their ability."

Turks are the BLIGHT of Asia...always have been.

Those who deny the holocaust against the Christian peoples of Asia Minor are nothing more than APOLOGISTS FOR TERROR.
