[size=52]The Turkish army penetrates into Iraqi territory with Baghdad's approval![/size]

[size=45]The Kurdistan Democratic Party has unveiled an Iraqi-Turkish agreement that allows Turkish forces to penetrate into Iraq and fight the Kurdistan Workers' Party within a border distance of no more than 40 kilometers.[/size]
[size=45]Party member Mahdi Abdul Karim said, “The Turkish operations taking place inside Iraqi territory are with the government’s knowledge,” noting that “Iraq and Turkey agreed to allow Turkish forces to fight the PKK inside Iraqi territory within an area of ​​20 to 40 kilometers.”[/size]
[size=45]He added, "Iraq placed the PKK on the list of terrorist organizations based on a Turkish request, and it was also agreed to eliminate them and expel them from the country," adding that "all of Turkey's steps inside Iraq are with the knowledge of the Iraqi government."[/size]
[size=45]Last week, the American Peacemaker Teams organization monitored the Turkish army’s entry into the Kurdistan Region of Iraq with 300 tanks and armored vehicles and the establishment of a security barrier within the borders of the Badinan region, during the past ten days, while the Kurds continue to condemn this incursion, which they consider a violation of national sovereignty, while the regional government places the responsibility on the federal government concerned with protecting national security.[/size]
[size=45]Earlier, the leader of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, Ghiath al-Surji, called on the governments of Baghdad and Erbil to put an end to the repeated Turkish military interventions in Iraq, considering that the ongoing violations against the country affect national sovereignty and reveal Ankara’s ambitions for the “Mosul Province.”[/size]
[size=45]Al-Surji said, “The Turkish incursion and Turkish barracks or camps inside the Iraqi borders are present and in abundance, and there are more than 40 military barracks inside Iraqi territory.”[/size]
[size=45]He explained that “some say that all of these camps are located within the Kurdistan Region,” confirming the existence of “Turkish camps inside Iraqi territory affiliated with the central government, and they have the largest camp on Mount Bashiqa, approximately 13 kilometers from the city or the borders of the Mosul municipality, and since the founding of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party, no one has reached this area.”[/size]
[size=45]Al-Surji believes that “Turkey has other ambitions. It wants to impose its influence on Iraq. It considers Mosul province to be part of Turkey and it aspires to occupy it. The Turkish army is entering some cities and districts in Dohuk province, which has become normal and is repeated almost daily.” He called for “limiting these strikes and violations that aim to occupy northern Iraq and Mosul.”[/size]
[size=45]Meanwhile, residents of border villages in northern Iraq were displaced after the Turkish army incurded and carried out operations against the Kurdistan Workers' Party.[/size]
[size=45]The Turkish army also set up checkpoints on the outskirts of Amadiyah district, and asked the residents of some border villages to leave their villages in preparation for bombing them.[/size]
[size=45]Observers described the “Iraqi government’s position” towards the Turkish violations as “foggy,” ignoring the issuance of a statement condemning, at the very least, this incursion that sparked violent clashes with the Kurdistan Workers’ Party in the border areas.[/size]
[size=45]They explained that "the Turkish army is still penetrating deeper into Iraq, targeting infrastructure in the northern regions, especially in Dohuk," noting that "the government does not have a single statement about the Turkish violations."[/size]
