Turkey’s parliament voted yesterday to send peacekeeping troops to Iraq to aid the U.S. occupation. But members of the U.S.-appointed Iraqi Governing Council have announced plans to meet with US administrator Paul Bremer today to voice their opposition to Turkish troops in Iraq. The Washington Post reports the U.S. pressured the Governing Council not to take a vote condemning the Turkish troops. If Turkey goes ahead with sending troops the BBC reports it could lead to the biggest split yet between the Iraqi Governing Council and Washington.
