Turkey rejects Iraq's PKK offer


Turkey has been massing troops along the Iraq border

Turkey has dismissed a range of proposals from Iraq on dealing with Kurdish rebels, saying they will take too long to work.

The foreign ministry said more urgent action was needed than that offered by an Iraqi delegation, which is in Ankara to try to resolve the dispute.

The visit is an attempt to avert a threatened Turkish ground attack on Kurdistan Workers' Party bases in Iraq.

Turkey gave the Iraqis a list of PKK rebels and demanded their extradition.
