KONYA - Iraqi Turkmen Front Executive Council member Aydin Beyatli said on Wednesday that Turkish soldier was the only force to put an end to the chaos in Iraq with its experience.
Beyatli returned to Turkey after participating in activities to gather Turkmens in Kirkuk city of Iraq under one roof.
Speaking to A.A correspondent, Beyatli said overcoming of security chaos in Iraq soon was important to pass to a democratic structure and to settle Iraq's future on a solid basis.
Beyatli said the reactions and attacks toward U.S. soldiers, assigned in Iraq were because U.S. soldiers were away from Iraq culture, stating that those caused weakness on security issue.
Beyatli said some customs and traditions, which could be trivial for U.S. soldiers but very important for Iraq people, caused reaction of Iraq people toward U.S. soldiers. He said this difference caused lack of communication.
Beyatli said Turkish army, which had set up tranquility and stability in northern part of Iraq, could set up the same stability in middle and southern part of Iraq, stating that Turkish army knew sensitivities and traditions of local people, and that this was an advantage.
