The Iraqi President spoke out against the military operations of Turkish troops in Iraqi Kurdistan

Baghdad opposes Turkey's military presence or attacks aviation strikes by Turkish troops on the territory of Iraqi Kurdistan. This was stated by Iraqi President Abdul-Latif Rashid, reports the Reuters news agency.


Earlier, the Turkish armed forces once again attacked from the air targets of Kurdish forces in northern Iraq. According to Ankara, 20 facilities of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), which is recognized as a terrorist organization in Turkey, were destroyed as a result of air attacks.

The strikes on the territory of Iraqi Kurdistan followed a car bombing in Ankara. The Kurdistan Workers' Party claimed responsibility for the explosion.

Let us note that Turkey has long been demonstrating military activity in northern Iraq, taking advantage of the weakness of the central government of this Arab country. For example, Turkish special forces units were sent to Iraqi Kurdistan.

The Iraqi President said that Turkish strikes are killing civilians and visitors to the region. He expressed hope for an agreement between Baghdad and Ankara, similar to the previously concluded agreements with Tehran. However, in reality, we can only observe a banal implementation of the “right of the strong.” Realizing that neither Iraq nor Syria can currently give Turkish troops a worthy rebuff, Ankara is conducting its military operations on the territories of sovereign states, confident in its complete impunity.

    Well, that means you can launch strikes on adjacent territory causing military damage to the country, and now let’s talk about Poland and Germany, who will say that they are not participants in the conflict in Ukraine, and how far their “non-participation” will go. Participants, it’s absolutely true that the whole point is our lack of understanding and lack of determination. The latest example is today's coven of EU foreign ministers in Kiev, we even tried to disperse them, at least at the entrance to Kiev, and even better to destroy the whole party at once, this would serve to demonstrate the seriousness of our intentions, they came to discuss how to destroy Russia.

      Our president and commander-in-chief and the elites behind him are thinking of bringing back 2020 without taking tough measures on the actions of Western leaders. Therefore, the SVO will last another two or three years until the Ukrainians run out

        come on.

        What if they have other thoughts in their heads?
        as an example to grind the active part of the population in Russia? Why, for example, are there always verbal interventions against Poland, etc.?
        Some places on the resource suggested that this is all because when conducting military affairs on the territory of the Russian Federation, citizens will come to the defense. They will go again to Berlin, London and the US borders. Who then will work for exports and currency?! And in general, how will people in this case react to their managers, who will try to sit in the office for a reservation and fuss in every possible way so as not to lose their money.
        And so a significant part of the citizens of the Russian Federation will perish and there will (remain) 2 cultural shopping centers, in the West - Moscow, and in the East - Vladivostok. Which will grind the Russian economy. Sending shift workers and migrant workers deep into its territory.

    -neither Iraq nor Syria can currently give Turkish troops a worthy rebuff,
    In the region (except Israel), NO ONE will give a rebuff...to a NATO member.

      NATO has nothing to do with it. They will not fit in with the Sultan.

      Don’t forget about Iran, but it also conducts operations against the Kurds.

        Not against the Kurds, but specifically against the PKK. There are provinces in Iran that are practically not controlled by Tehran.

    The Iraqi leadership has virtually no control over the situation within the country. But Turkey has very good relations with the leadership of Iraqi Kurdistan. The head of the region, Nechirvan Barzani, calls Erdogan his “abi,” which means older brother. Barzani periodically visits Turkey and also fights against the PKK. And in this aspect, Türkiye and Iraqi Kurdistan are allies. It is strange that the author did not mention this important detail.

      Oh, it’s not for nothing that Sadam spoke harshly to everyone there. And there was more or less order.

      And it’s unclear what today’s Iraq is like.

      The Kurds, with the support of the United States, declared the creation of Independent Iraqi Kurdistan. At the head of which sat the Barzani crime family. While they were establishing their statehood there and making huge plans for how they would dispose of the “manna from heaven” that had fallen on their heads in the form of gas and oil, Iraq itself, without slyly, “bribed” the leadership of one of the main Kurdish parties and calmly sent its troops into these the most gas and oil-bearing areas in the north of the country, under the control of the Kurds.

      A week ago, these same separatists turned to Baghdad with the most humble request to finance their government institutions (or something like that). Immediately after receiving help, they again bucked up at their rescuers.

      And today, October 2, the Iraqi parliament adopted a resolution that obliges the country’s ministries and government agencies to temporarily stop all financial transactions with the Kurdish region.

      To date, no state in the world has recognized the independence of Kurdistan.

      At the same time, Turkish became one of the official languages ​​in Kirkuk province.

      It’s just another step in the implementation of Turkey’s plan to capture Mosul and Kirkuk...

    Somehow, I doubt that the initiative to commit terrorist attacks belongs only to the Kurdistan Party. It could not have happened without a game played by Erdogan, given the recent events in Nagorno-Karabakh. So to speak, inter-party dialogue has been established for a long time so that the electorate does not lose its tone... recourse
