Due to Ankara’s refusal to place military bases in the territory of Turkey at the disposal of Pentagon for war against Iraq diplomatic difference between the US and Turkey begins to show. As reported by “Arminfo” agency, the Turkish parliament was scheduled to discuss the issue today, but the vote was postponed sine die. Turkish prime minister Abdullah Gul said that a detailed program for deploying the American forces in the Turkish territory should have been worked out beforehand. Observers evaluate the variance between Ankara and Washington as an attempt of Turkey to delay military operations in Iraq. Meanwhile, according to some data, Turkey works for receiving written guarantees of US financial aid for overcoming economic troubles that will emerge resulting from war with neighboring Iraq.
