Jabar Yawer, former advisor to the Ministry of Peshmerga in the Kurdistan Regional Government, stated that the Turkish state is trying to enter the areas around Qandil and Sulaymaniyah.
Speaking to RojNews, Jabar Yawer reacted to the invasion attacks of the occupying Turkish state in southern Kurdistan (northern Iraq).
Yawer stated that the Turkish state has so far ignored international laws and said, "The Turkish state is trying to enter the territory of the Kurdistan Region 40 kilometers deep on false grounds. It especially aims to enter the areas around Qandil and Sulaymaniyah. According to the map published by the Turkish Defense Ministry, there are 87 Turkish military bases in the Kurdistan Region."
Yawer also criticized the Iraqi government, saying, "So far, the Iraqi government has not taken any stance on the airstrikes. The Turkish state sometimes enters Iraqi territory at a depth of 300 kilometers. The Iraqi government's silence indicates that an agreement has been reached between the Turkish state and the Iraqi government. The security agreement between Baghdad and Ankara encourages the Turkish state."
