Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan is to present a motion to parliament asking for approval for military incursions into northern Iraq to pursue Kurdish rebels there.

He told CNN-Turk TV on Wednesday that he could present the bill as early as Thursday. It would then be voted upon as early as next week and would give the government a one-year authorization to launch military operations across the border against the banned Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK).

Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.
