    BAGHDAD,— An Iraqi lawmaker called on the Iraqi government to allow Turkey’s Kurdistan Workers’ party (PKK) to open representative offices in Baghdad and other governorates, saying the group has not made a threat against the country.
    Awatif Nima, a lawmaker from the State of Law bloc in the Iraqi Parliament, said on Thursday the PKK has not made “any threat against the security of Iraq” and said they are fighting Islamic State (IS) militants.
    “Every single political activity has been prevented from the PKK,” the MP added. “Its members are detained in Erbil and Duhok. But the Iraqi government should allow the PKK officially and publicly to open its representative offices in Baghdad and other governorates.”

    Nima’s remarks came after the Turkish government shelled suspected PKK positions in Iraq’s Kurdistan Region. Turkey, the U.S. and the European Union consider the PKK to be a terrorist organization.
    The PKK took up arms in 1984 against the Turkish state, which still denies the constitutional existence of Kurds, to push for greater autonomy for the Kurdish minority who make up around [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] of the country’s 78-million population. A large Kurdish community in Turkey and worldwide openly sympathise with PKK rebels.
    Regarding Turkish troops in the Bashiqa camp, Nima called on the international community to denounce “Turkish attacks” in Iraq and said Turkey should be investigated and charged.
    “[Recep Tayyip] Erdogan is not a protector of Mosul and those who asked him are traitors and they will have no place in Iraq,” Nima said. “Erdogan himself protects IS and benefits from the terrorist organizations in Iraq and Syria.”
    Tensions between Baghdad and Ankara have risen after the Turkish Parliament approved an existing mandate to extend military actions in Iraq and Syria earlier this month.
    Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan told Abadi on October 12 to “[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.],” and said that he is “not on my level” — another escalation in the war of words between the two sides over Ankara’s deployment of troops in Iraq’s north.
    There are 800 Turkish troops deployed in the Mosul and Shaqlawa regions, the move that sparked a crisis between Ankara and Baghdad. Turkey sent a contingent of an additional 150 forces and 25 tanks in December 2015 to bolster its military presence in the Bashiqa camp, an area that has seen recent fighting.
    Iraqi leaders said in December 2015 that hundreds of new Turkish troops had arrived without their knowledge or approval, calling it a violation of its sovereignty.
    On October 6, Iraq has [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] an emergency meeting of the U.N. Security Council to discuss Turkey’s military presence on its soil, state television said on Thursday, as a dispute with Ankara over the troops escalated.
    Spokesman of U.S. State Department, John Kirby, said on Tuesday the Turkish troops deployed in the camp of Bashiqa near Mosul are not part of the international Coalition and urged Baghdad and Ankara to resolve the issue through dialogue.
    Kirby restated all of Iraq’s neighbors should respect the government’s sovereignty and territorial integrity of the country.
