    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Hundreds of Kurds in Turkey's Van took the streets
    Tuesday to protest cross-border operations in Iraqi Kurdistan. The
    police used water cannons and tear gas. Five protests were injured,
    several arrested, EuroNews reports.

    Collisions between Kurdish rebels and Turkish troops are going
    on. Turkish troops with the assistance of defense technology and
    aviation advance through the snow-covered mountains to eliminate
    Kurdish facilities.

    "The terrorist organization has based in northern Iraq. It destabilizes
    Iraq and represents a threat for Turkey. Our contribution to war on
    terror will help relations with Iraq," Turkish Prime Minister Recep
    Tayyip Erdogan said, adding that the troops will be immediately
    withdrawn after completion of the operation.

    The Turkish command reported 150 killed Kurdish rebels and 19 Turkish
    troops.
