Turkey’s foreign minister on Tuesday denounced a separatist Kurdish group that operates in northern Iraqi territory as an enemy of both Turkey and Iraq, and urged the Iraqi government to ban the group as a terrorist organization as Ankara has done. While Baghdad has frequently complained that Turkish airstrikes in northern Iraq are a breach of its sovereignty, Fidan described the PKK's activities there as a"challenge against Iraq’s sovereignty," accusing the group of"occupying" areas in Iraq and seeking to link Iraq to neighboring Syria with a"terror corridor."
Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan has urged Iraq to label a Kurdish separatist group operating within its borders as a terrorist organization.
