    Iraq Summons Turkish Envoy Over Airstrike Deaths

    Turkey hasn’t yet commented on the accusations leveled by Iraqi Foreign Ministry on 14 December. According to earlier reports, the Turkish air force killed 8 members of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) in the airstrike.
    Iraqi Foreign Ministry has summoned Turkey’s ambassador Fatih Yildiz to protest against an alleged violation of the country’s airspace by a Turkish aircraft and conducting airstrikes on several sites in northern Iraq. The strikes, which allegedly targeted Kurdish militia positions, led to a “loss of life and property”, according to an official statement by the ministry.
    “Such acts violate Iraq’s sovereignty and security of citizens and are unacceptable on all levels, contrary to the principles of good-neighborliness that bind together the two countries”, statement said.

    Turkey will keep striking Kurdish PKK fighters in northern Iraq, the foreign ministry said on Saturday, a day after Baghdad formally complained that repeated Turkish air strikes violated its sovereignty and endangered civilians.The Turkish military said on Friday it killed eight Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) militants, prompting Iraqi authorities to summon the Turkish ambassador in Baghdad.
    Turkey regularly hits PKK bases across its southern border, saying the militants use the remote and mountainous northern Iraqi region as a base for deadly attacks inside Turkey, where the outlawed group has waged an insurgency since the 1980s.


    "The activities of the PKK terrorist organization in the territory of Iraq and Syria have become a national security issue for Turkey," Foreign Ministry spokesman Hami Aksoy said.
    He said the government in Baghdad had a duty to prevent Iraqi land being used as a base for attacks on neighbors, and described Friday's air strikes as an act of self-defense which Turkey carried out because Iraq would not act.
    "These operations in the fight against terrorism will continue as long as terror organizations nest on Iraqi soil and as long as Turkey’s security needs require it to," Aksoy said.
