Baykal: "The cross-border op should have gone to for longer"

Main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) leader Deniz Baykal yesterday lamented as premature the end of a land-based cross-border operation into northern Iraq after eight days. Speaking to a crowd in Ankara's Temelli district, Baykal said, "Excellent results were gained through the operation, but it should have been carried out until all resources of the terrorist PKK were destroyed."
