ISTANBUL, Oct 19 (Reuters) - Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan called on Iraqi authorities on Friday to shut down camps run by separatist Kurdish rebels in northern Iraq and hand over guerrilla leaders.

"What will satisfy us is the closure of all PKK (rebel) camps, including their training facilities, and the handover of the terrorist leaders to us," Erdogan told reporters in televised comments.

He welcomed Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshiyar Zebari's call on Thursday for the rebels to leave Iraqi territory, but said the announcement was "late".

Turkey's parliament approved a resolution on Wednesday allowing its troops to launch major cross-border incursions to crush Kurdish rebels, defying appeals from Washington and Baghdad.

Some 3,000 PKK rebels, including several of their leaders, are believed to be hiding in mountainous, mainly Kurdish northern Iraq, a region they use as a launchpad for attacks on Turkish security targets.
