Iraq
Turkey occupies 15 km of Iraqi border territory
2020-07-15
[ALMASDARNEWS] On Tuesday, the Security and Defense Committee in the Iraqi Parliament called for the need to confront Ottoman Turkish attacks on the country, condemning Ankara’s exploitation of old agreements to penetrate deep into the country.In a statement to the Iraqi News Agency, the head of the Parliamentary Security and Defense Committee, Muhammad Reza al-Haidar said, "Iraq rejects a country violating its illusory sovereignty or carrying out Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM!...
s inside its territories," calling on the government to address this crisis.

Haider said that "The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire...
 depends on the security agreement concluded previously by entering about five kilometers to seven kilometers in the border strip," noting that "Ankara exceeded the limit and occupied about 15 km of the border strip."

He pointed out that "Iraq refuses to have an armed faction within its territories attacking a neighboring country, and it refuses to attack its illusory sovereignty from any country."

However,
a good lie finds more believers than a bad truth...
 the Ottoman Turkish Foreign Ministry confirmed that "Ankara is determined to take all necessary measures within the framework of the principle of self-defense emanating from international law, against the destructive activities coming from Iraqi lands, which threaten its borders, security and stability."

On June 17, Turkey announced the launch of Operation "Tiger Claw" in northern Iraq, two days after the launch of Operation "Eagle Claw", as Ankara says that members of the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) are launching attacks on the Ottoman Turkish border from Iraq.
