Durxam Maliki from the State of Law Coalition stated that Iraqi Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein would be summoned to the parliament to discuss Turkey's attacks on Iraqi territory, Rojnews reported on Thursday.

'IRAQ SHOULD PRESS CHARGES AGAINST TURKEY'

In the meantime, Iraqi parliamentarian Tayir Mexeyf spoke about the attacks of the Turkish state which, he said, have been going on for years, endangering civilian populations and causing serious casualties in the region.

The parliamentarian noted that Turkey’s attacks were a clear violation of the sovereignty of the Iraqi territory. “The attacks are against international law,” he underlined.

Mexeyf insisted that the Iraqi parliament and government should take the necessary measures. “To maintain the peace, security and sovereignty of Iraq, the Iraqi Ministry of Foreign Affairs should formally file a complaint before the United Nations.”
