WORLD NEWS: "Turkey Begins Dig for Missing Kurds In Push for New State Accountability," by Nicholas Birch, Wall Street Journal, 10 March 2009.

Interesting to watch.

Obviously, plenty of internal political dynamics pushing for this, as the Islamist ruling party under Erdogan wants to gain more control over the military and this sort of investigation certainly puts the military on the defensive.

But you likewise have to expect that Turkey's growing investment in the Kurdistan Regional Government in Iraq plays a part in this reasoning.
