ANKARA, Turkey (AP) - Turkey's army chief said Thursday the military had launched several ``large scale'' offensives against separatist Kurdish rebels in the predominantly Kurdish southeastern region.
The offensives were launched to coincide with spring, when the rebels intensify attacks on Turkey, with melting snow making mountain passes easier to access, said Gen. Yasar Buyukanit, the head of Turkey's powerful military.
The announcement came as Turkey has been intensifying pressure on Iraq and the United States to crack down on the rebels who launch raids from bases in northern Iraq.
