Christians flee northern Iraq
The Christian population flees northern Iraq, where the Turkish troops fight Kurdish rebels.

As a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter came to know from the Iraqi Diocese of the Armenian Apostolic Church, Christians leave the zone of hostilities but there are not Armenians among them. "The Armenian community of Iraq lives its usual life, everything is quiet," the source said.

As reported earlier, the Turkish warplanes flew as deep as 20 km into Iraqi territory and some 300 ground troops advanced about 10 km, killing 34 PKK rebels.
