Turkey has stopped all traffic crossing its southern border with Iraq amid growing expectations of a US-led war with Saddam Hussein. The transportation of goods from Turkey to Iraq has been halted and oil tankers within Iraq have been told to return to Turkey. The move came amid expectations that the Turkish parliament would on Thursday vote whether to allow US troops onto Turkish soil for a possible northern invasion of Iraq. "If nothing out of the ordinary happens, the motion will be discussed in the assembly tomorrow," Tayyip Erdogan, leader of the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP), told the CNN Turk television channel.
