"The Barzanis realised that just as they were creating a new atmosphere of reconciliation with Ankara, it would be wrong to meet a delegation that is so closely identified with the PKK by the Turks," the chief columnist for The New Anatolian said.
"Barzani je shvatio da bi, sada kada pokušavaju stvoriti novo ozračje pomirenja s Ankarom, sastanak s izaslanstvom koje Turci usko povezuju s PKK- om bio potpuno pogrešan", rekao je glavni kolumnist lista New Anatolian.
