Adana Agreement
The Adana Agreement (pronounced [aˈda.na];Turkish: Adana Mutabakatı; Arabic: اتفاقية أضنة) was an agreement made between Turkey and Ba'athist Syria in 1998 regarding the expulsion of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) from Syria. == Background == Syria and Turkey had long had a strained relationship, owing to historical Syrian claims on the Hatay Province, water disputes over the flow of the Tigris–Euphrates river system and the two nations' opposite alignments within the context of the Cold War, as Turkey had joined NATO, while Syria grew close to the Soviet Union.
