(Maarivenglish.com) Gad Shimron - The line marking the Turkish-Syrian border looks different in school atlases in Turkey and Syria. Every Turkish child learns that the Hatay region is an inseparable part of Turkey. Syrian children learn that the region, called Alexandretta in their atlases, is Syrian. For years Syria served as a base for the Kurdish separatist organization, PKK. In 1999 Turkey demanded that Syria close the PKK offices and immediately expel its leaders. Meanwhile, large military forces were moved to the border, and the Turkish water company was asked to check whether the outlets of the dams it had built on the Euphrates, Syria's main water source, were in working order. The elder President Assad got the hint. The Kurdish offices were shut down and Kurdish leader Abdullah Ocalan was expelled, to be caught in Kenya a few days later by Turkish intelligence agents. The fact that this all began following a Turkish decision to stop acting nice and start baring its teeth at the irritating southern neighbor must appeal to some Israeli statesmen. 2004-03-11 00:00:00Full Article
