Elewi calls to protest Turkish violations on Iraqi airspaces at UNSC

Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) MP Karim Elewi of the Iraqi National Alliance demanded “The Iraqi Government to submit a protest letter to the UN Security Council against the Turkish violations on the Iraqi airspace and the repeated shelling for a number of regions at the border areas.”

Elewi stressed in a statement to IraqiNews.com “What is done by Turkey represents a violation for the legal and international principles; therefore, the Government of Iraq should be serious about this topic and issue a protest letter or call the UN Security Council to discuss these violations.”

He criticized the stance of the Kurdistan Regional Government towards this issue in allowing Turkey to enter the Iraqi airspace, stressing that “This would have negative impact on the relations between the Kurdistan RegionG and the Central Government.”

It is worth to mention that the Iraqi border areas with Turkey witness since 2007 bgombardments by the Turkish artillery on pretext of tracking down the opponent PKK Party.
