The decision of the Turkish parliament to approve the cross-border operation in northern Iraq is historical, AAA Regional Director for Armenia and Nagorno Karabakh, Arpi Vartanian told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter. "The Turkish vote has shown the whole world what kind of "ally" Turkey is. The world community should understand that Turkey does and will do what it wants, and no one can stop it," she said.

Today, neglecting the opinion of NATO, U.S. and Iraq, the Turkish government okayed the cross-border operation for neutralization of PKK rebels in northern Iraq.
