Turkish army urges Iraqi Kurds not to shelter fleeing rebels

ANKARA, Feb 24, 2008 (AFP) - The Turkish military urged Iraqi Kurds Sunday to deny protection and shelter to Kurdish rebels fleeing a major Turkish offensive in northern Iraq.

Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) militants "are trying to flee southwards in panic," the general staff said in a statement on its web site.

"Local Iraqi groups are expected to prevent members of the PKK terrorist organisation -- the biggest enemy of regional peace and stability -- from entering their region and being given protection there," it said.
