ANKARA (BBC News) - Turkish parliamentarians are due to debate a motion authorizing cross-border military operations into northern Iraq to target Kurdish rebel bases there. Parliament in Ankara is expected to approve the motion by a large majority amid widespread public support for military action against the PKK.  Attacks blamed on the rebels have been escalating inside Turkey in a conflict which dates back more than two decades.  But the U.S. is anxious that Turkish action could destabilize northern Iraq. It is also embroiled in a row with Turkey over a Congressional vote to recognize the mass killing of Armenians in Ottoman times as genocide.  Turkey is a regional hub for the U.S. military, and some suggest access to Incirlik airbase or other supply lines crucial to U.S. forces in Iraq and Afghanistan could be affected by the row.
