Turkmen leading figure accuses Kurds of being behind Tuz Khurmatu bombings

Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) The leading Turkmen figure, Mohamed al-Bayati stressed that the devastating explosion that took place in Tuz Khurmtu on Thursday that claimed dozens of lives from the Shiite Turkmens makes us point the accusation figures at the Kurds since they prevent the government forces to enter the district.

34 policemen were killed and injured on Thursday morning when car bomb exploded in Tuz district.

Bayati added “Today bombing proves what we said previously that the targeting of the Turkmens has political dimension and aims to displace the Turkmens where these attacks are considered to be another way to apply the article No.140 of the Constitution.”

He called on “The ministerial commission tasked to consider the situation in Tuz Khurmatu to hold emergency session today to implement what they agreed on during their last meeting and pressurize the Kurds through the Council of Ministers.”
