REFILE - ADDING TRANSLATION A military truck carrying Turkish troops passes a van in the south-eastern Turkish border town of Cukurca, upon their arrival from northern Iraq, February 29, 2008. Turkey wound down its major ground offensive against Kurdish PKK rebels inside northern Iraq on Friday, although it declined to confirm an Iraqi minister's statement that it had already withdrawn all its troops.
