Shafaq News/ The President of the Arab Parliament, Mishaal Al-Salami, condemned the killing of two Iraqi officers in a Turkish drone attack in Kurdistan region, where Turkey bombed PKK sites.

In a statement received by Shafaq News agency, Al-Salami stressed that these repeated military attacks carried out by Turkish forces on Iraqi lands are a serious violation of the sovereignty of the Republic of Iraq, and a flagrant violation of the United Nations Charter, international law and norms, and considered it a lack of respect for good-neighborly relations.

Al-Salami affirmed the parliament's solidarity with Iraq in preserving its security and the safety of its citizens and supporting it in all the measures it takes to defend the sovereignty of its lands, expressing the Arab Parliament’s readiness to work with the Iraqi Parliament to mobilize regional and international support for Iraq, calling on the UN Security Council to take immediate and urgent action to stop the repeated Turkish attacks on the sovereignty of the Republic of Iraq.

The death of two Iraqi officers, on Tuesday, prompted Baghdad to take firm measures, as the Iraqi Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced that Baghdad was no longer willing to receive the Turkish Defense Minister on Thursday, in a first-of-its-kind step that could trigger a diplomatic crisis between the two countries.

The ministry also announced that the Turkish ambassador in Baghdad would be summoned again for the third time since June, and handed a strongly worded protest note.
