Iraq Demands Turkish Apology, Withdrawal of Forces After Airstrike Kills 8 in Kurdistan

Iraqi Prime Minister (PM) Mustafa al-Kadhimi demanded an apology from Turkey following an airstrike in the Kurdistan region on Wednesday that killed eight tourists and injured 20 people. He also called on Ankara to withdraw its military forces from northern Iraq. During an emergency meeting of the National Security Council (NSC), Kadhimi condemned the “brutal Turkish attack that targeted innocent citizens” in a tourist resort in the Duhok province. He said Turkey’s attack confirms its “ignoring of the continuing Iraqi demands to stop violations against Iraq’s sovereignty and the security of its citizens and to respect the principle of good neighbourliness.” Noting that the attack was part of a similar “criminal incident” conducted by the Turkish air force, Kadhimi stated that the Foreign Ministry would prepare an exhaustive list of Turkish violations in the country and “submit an urgent complaint” to the United Nations Security Council (UNSC). To this end, Turkey’s ambassador to Iraq was summoned to the Foreign Ministry and Baghdad has summoned its chargé d’affaires to Ankara for consultations. The PM added that Iraq is “stopping the procedures for sending a new ambassador to Turkey.” Read more: https://www.statecraft.co.in/article/...
