It was again Iraq which first triggered the incidents in 1990's with the invasion of Kuwait on August 2. The USA immediately took action against this situtation which constituted a threat both for the Middle East petrol and Israel's security. The UN Security Council, of which the mortgage of political initiative had been taken by the culminating of the Cold War, immediately took the situation in hand. The Council, by a new resolution, had granted Baghdat a term of respite until 15 January 1991 as she did not comply with their resolution which had urged her to clear out the Kuwaiti land, and warned her by indicating that "any measures in order to maintain international peace and security in the region was going to be taken." When Saddam did not obey this resolution, an opearation was commenced by a coalition led by the USA. Amongst the Arabian states Bahrain, Egypt, Morrocco, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria and United Arab Emirates also joined the coalition. On the contrary, the Palestinian leadership supported Saddam Hussein and this is why she was boycotted by the Arabian states at the end of the war.
Turkey, being active during the First Gulf War, pursued a policy that was deliberate and rejected being efficaciously involved in the war right from the beginning. The primary precaution taken by President Ozal at the beginning of the war was closing down the Kirkuk - Yumurtalik petrol pipe line. Ozal was one of the leaders who had most often been in touch with President Geroge Bush before and during the war. President Bush and Brent Scowcroft who had been conducting the Consultancy of National Security during his presidentship are pointing to this fact in their book titled "A World Transformed" which was authored by themselves.
