ANKARA, Feb 25 2003 (IPS) - Turkish and US officials failed to agree on conditions for deploying tens of thousands of US troops after marathon talks overnight Tuesday, likely delaying a parliamentary vote authorizing the deployment, diplomats said.

The Cabinet approved the deployment on Monday, but the Turkish prime minister had yet to send the bill demanding authorization for the deployment to parliament, Turkish officials said.

Deputy Prime Minister Mehmet Ali Sahin said the bill would be sent to parliament later Tuesday, CNN-Turk reported.
