Turkish military seizes strategic summit in Iraqi-Kurdistan
2020-07-12
[PUBLISH.TWITTER]
The director of the town, Zirvan Mousa, pointed out that the Turkish forces seized the summit of Mount Shaquli, north of the Darkar District, northeast of Zakho, through this operation, which was backed by military helicopters, and established military points over the top of the mountain overlooking the village of Bousli.

The summit of the mountain has been within the range of Turkish artillery and aircraft fire since Ankara began to intensify its attacks on the border areas in the Kurdistan region in the middle of June.

#3  Do you think the Iraqi national government and their Iranian overlords condone Sultan Erdogan the First setting up house in their country?
