In the biggest movement of Turkish military equipment in the country's history, Turkey sent over 500 vehicles, toward the Iraqi border in an apparent build-up ahead of any US-led war, according to military sources. The move comes amid increasing tensions between Turkey and Iraqi Kurds who live in an autonomous zone across the border. Turks and Iraqi Kurds would be key allies to the United States in any war. The convoy carrying tanks, ambulances and heavy construction equipment left a Turkish military base at Sanliurfa early on Friday en route to the Iraqi border around Silope at the border crossing with Northern Iraq. Turkey has said it will send tens of thousands of troops into northern Iraq if there is a war to depose Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein. Ankara says sending the troops would stop a possible refugee influx, and it is also keen to avoid the establishment of an independent Kurdish state in northern Iraq. Iraqi Kurds have threatened to resist the Turkish troops. Meanwhile US troops continued to transport large amounts of military material including humvees and earthmovers in the country. Two US bases have been established in the city of Mardin, in the province of Kiziltepe for the movement of equipment. Turkey has already authorised the US to deploy support equipment and about 3000 troops needed to renovate Turkish ports and bases to be used in a possible Iraq war. But the United States cannot unload any attack forces until Turkey's parliament approves the deployment of 62-thousand US troops. US planning for a possible war against Iraq was thrown into disarray last week when the Turkish parliament voted against the deployment. Turkey's government has indicated that it will press for a new resolution, but officials in the ruling party have said a new vote could take two or three weeks.
