Zebari Rules out Turkish Troops in Iraqi Kurdish Areas

Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari has categorically ruled out the deployment of Turkish troops in the Kurdish areas of Iraq. He expressed a preference for finding other foreign troops besides the Turks, just because countries neighboring Iraq were more likely to have their own agendas. He seemed to be less categorical about this matter than in the past, though, saying that the Coalition might be able to work something out.
