Iraq has condemned Turkey for dispatching special forces into its soil in reported pursuit of Kurdish militants, calling it a “clear violation” of its territory.
The Iraqi “foreign ministry expresses its condemnation of the incursion of a number of Turkish military units inside Iraqi territory,” spokesman Ahmed Jamal said in a statement on Thursday, Press TV reported.
“It represents a clear violation of Iraqi sovereignty and a clear offense to bilateral relations between the two countries,” he said.
