New details about the Turkish air strike
Shafaq News / Today, Wednesday, the Iraqi Security and Defense Committee revealed new details about the Turkish bombing on the borders, which killed and wounded a number of Iraqi officers.
A member of the committee, Kata’a Al-Rikabi, told Shafaq News agency, “holding a meeting between the Iraqi army and the PKK is not true.”
Al-Rikabi stated that "No meeting can be held between the official Iraqi authorities and any party opposing any neighbor country, and the PKK is an anti-Turkey party.”
He added that "the Turkish attacked directly the Iraqi forces," noting that "this is a dangerous development and a warn sign of an upcoming catastrophe, if Iraq remains silent about."
The killing of the two Iraqi officers prompted Baghdad to take strict measures, as the Iraqi Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced that Baghdad was “no longer willing to receive the Turkish Defense Minister on Thursday”, in a measure that could worsen the relations between the two neighboring countries.
The ministry also announced that the Turkish ambassador in Baghdad would be summoned again for the third time since June, “handing him a strongly worded note to be informed that Iraq refused his country's assaults."
