[size=45]The Security and Defense Committee in the House of Representatives denied the existence of an agreement signed after 2003 that allows the Turkish side to carry out military operations inside Iraqi territory, stressing that security cooperation in the field of combating terrorism does not mean a violation of national sovereignty, indicating that the Turkish warplanes have arrived on their flights to the province.

[size=45]The Turkish forces had bombed the Barkh resort in Zakho district of Dohuk, which led to a number of casualties, between a martyr and a wounded person.[/size]
[size=45]As a result, the Iraqi government announced that it had taken a number of diplomatic steps to respond to the attack, most notably resorting to the Security Council for the purpose of filing a complaint against the Turkish side.[/size]
[size=45]Committee member Jawad al-Bolani said, "The Turkish side is claiming in the bombing operations that it has an agreement with the Iraqi government that allows it to carry out armed activities inside Iraq, sometimes they claim that it dates back to the eighties of the last century, and others say it was signed after the change of the previous regime."[/size]
[size=45]Al-Bolani added, "The truth of the matter is that Iraq did not conclude security agreements after 2003 that would allow Turks to enter Iraqi territory."[/size]
[size=45]He pointed out that "Turkish demands were repeated to allow them to conduct combing operations on the border strip between the two countries, and through cooperation between the governments of the two countries in the field of combating terrorism."[/size]
[size=45]Al-Bolani stressed that "Iraq did not give a green light for the entry of Turkish forces into its territory, and no agreement was signed after 2003."[/size]
[size=45]Al-Bolani noted that "the two countries are committed to the United Nations strategy in combating terrorism, and cooperation between states and governments is positive, while preserving sovereignty and not overstepping the borders."[/size]
[size=45]For his part, another member of the committee, Yasser Watut, said that "the Turkish bombing has been repeated more than once, and the government must take a stand on it."[/size]
[size=45]And he continued, "The options available to us are the commercial boycott," noting that "the decisions to summon the ambassador and hand him protest notes will not lead us to a conclusion."[/size]
[size=45]He believes, "The repeated bombings on the borders are an insult to Iraq," stressing that "the Turkish aircraft, in violation of Iraqi airspace, sometimes reached Kirkuk."[/size]
[size=45]"The government is responsible for preserving Iraq's sovereignty, and we, in the Parliamentary Security Committee, will continue our work in monitoring what the government is accomplishing in this regard," Watout noted.[/size]
[size=45]It finds, "All the options that were used during the previous breaches did not lead to a result, and the Turkish side went too far until its operations were targeting civilians, as happened in Dohuk a few days ago."[/size]
[size=45]And he went on to say that "there are other solutions, including the commercial boycott, fortifying the borders and deterring any attempt to breach again, in addition to efforts at the international level."[/size]
[size=45]The Security and Defense Committee intends to prepare a joint report with the Foreign Relations Committee on the Turkish violations of Iraqi lands to be presented to Parliament and submitted to the government and includes recommendations to confront the continued attacks on Iraq.[/size]
