Iraqi Kurdistan leadership: PKK should leave
2015-08-02
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Kurdish rebels of the PKK should move out of Iraqi Kurdistan to prevent Turkish air strikes against them from causing civilian casualties, the region's leadership said on Saturday.

"The PKK (Kurdistan Workers' Party) must keep the battlefield away from the Kurdistan region in order for civilians not to become victims of this war," the office of the region's president Massud Barzani said in a statement.

He also condemned The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire....
's bombardment of Zargala village which he said had left a number of civilians dead a day earlier, and called for all sides to return to the grinding of the peace processor.

"We condemn this bombardment that led to the martyrdom of people from the Kurdistan region and call on Turkey not to bombard civilians again," he said.

Turkey has repeatedly attacked PKK camps in northern Iraq in the past week in what it says is a response to a series of assassinations of coppers and soldiers that it has blamed on the Kurdish bully boy group.

However,
some people are alive only because it's illegal to kill them...
the strikes were the first since a grinding of the peace processor with the Kurds was launched in 2012.
