12/11  WEST ASKS TURKEY TO EXTEND FORCE MANDATE FOR IRAQ

    ANKARA, Dec 11, Reuter - The United States, Britain and
France assured Turkey on Friday they do not want the break-
up of Iraq and urged Ankara to extend the mandate of a
Turkish-based force protecting Iraqi Kurds from Baghdad.
    U.S., British and French officials said Turkey's
agreement was "essential for the preservation of calm in the
region," a joint statement issued after talks between Turkey
and its three major Western allies said.
    The multinational force of 77 fighter aircraft and
helicopters and 1,862 military personnel polices a no-fly
zone over northern Iraq, shielding the Kurdish-controlled
region from attack by President Saddam Hussein.
    Turkish critics say the force encouraged the emergence
in October of a federated Kurdish state in northern Iraq
which they see as a likely step to an independent Kurdish
entity.
    Ankara, which is battling an armed separatist insurgency
in southeast Turkey by the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK),
has said it will not accept such an eventuality.
    The Turkish parliament is to vote on the extension
before the end of December when the current six-month
mandate expires.
    "We have told our allies that the matter is to be
assessed by the government and put to vote in parliament,"
foreign ministry under-secretary Ozdem Sanberk told
reporters.
    Prime Minister Suleyman Demirel has indicated that his
government will present a positive recommendation but is
facing opposition and press misgivings on the continued
presence of the allied force in Turkey's southern Incirlik
airbase.
    "We have relayed all our concerns to our partners and
have been given assurances....We want any constitutional
changes in Iraq to be made by the open concurrence of all
(ethnic) groups in Iraq," Sanberk said.
    The statement said all four countries "reiterated their
government's firm stand for the preservation of the
independence, unity and teritorial integrity of Iraq and
confirmed their determination to oppose acts and efforts
that may lead to the dismemberment of that country."
