( Cihan ) - Turkish PM Recep Tayyip Erdogan has described the scenarios discussed at a US think-tank, which are apparently aimed at creating turmoil in the country by forcing it for a cross-border military action.

Do not get up to complete nonsense things, Erdogan told reporters on Monday before attending a meeting in Ankara.

Last week, the Hudson Institute discussed various crisis scenarios for Turkey, including scenarios involving assassinations, terrorist attacks, political manuevers and a possible hand-over by the Kurdish regional government of Iraq of PKK leaders who are hosted there.

Scenarios discussed at the Washington-based 'think-tank' includes assassination of Turkey's top judge and a terrorist attack in downtown Istanbul, which would eventually force Turkey to a cross-border incursion into northern Iraq, where PKK terrorists were based.
