The vote comes as increasing attacks by Kurdish rebels also targeting civilians are piling pressure on the Turkish government, which has threatened to launch an incursion into northern Iraq by its land forces to root out rebel bases.

Lawmakers overwhelmingly voted the motion that gives Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan permission to order strategic strikes or large-scale incursions into Iraq for one more year.

Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said Turkey's military strikes based on the fresh mandate would target the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) bases and logistics in northern Iraq, not Iraq or the Iraqi people.

"We have a strong will in the fight against terrorism," Davutoglu told the assembly.

All opposition parties, except for the pro-Kurdish Peace and Democracy Party (BDP), gave solid backing to the government in Wednesday's vote.

Turkey has renewed since 2007 the motion giving a green light for the Turkish military to conduct cross-border raids to hit PKK hideouts in northern Iraq.

The current authorisation expires on October 17.

The Kurdish conflict has increased in recent months and since mid-June more than 120 people were killed in clashes and attacks by the PKK.

In response, Turkey's government has threatened to launch a ground operation into northern Iraq.
