| 2011-08-21 |
| ARBIL / Aswat al-Iraq: Kurdish military border command source expected today that the Iranian and Turkish forces will initiate land attacks on the border areas of the region to avenge the losses incurred to their forces during the last few days. The source told Aswat al-Iraq that " the atmosphere in the borders is unstable added to Turkish and Iranian military movements", expecting that they will unilaterally attack the border areas in the region. He expected that Iran will attack the plains of Qandeel Mountain, while the Turkish forces will attack in the north. "We, as an Iraqi force, are unable to intervene, but if we were attacked then we have to wait for our orders", the source added. Turkish Chief of Staff statement said before yesterday that the Turkish fighters bombed 20 PJAK sites in the north of Iraq, in addition to shelling 85 sites for military members. Kurdistan border areas are witnessing Turkish and Iranian bombardments under the pretext of chasing anti-governmental militias, which led to the immigration of tens of families and material losses. |
