Iraq has said that the Turkish military operation in its semi-autonomous Kurdistan region is a threat to the country’s national security and a violation of its sovereignty.
The latest Turkish military operation into the Iraqi frontier without coordinating with the Iraqi federal government is unacceptable, said a statement by the Presidency on Tuesday, Xinhua news agency reported.
The pending security issues in the border areas could be resolved through further coordination between the two countries and the Iraqi sovereignty must be respected, it added.
