Iraq’s Popular Mobilization Units have said they would target Turkish forces if they "insist on staying in Bashiqa or extend their presence in Mosul."
"The presence of these troops (on Iraqi territory) is illegal and against the will of the Iraqi government, parliament and people," Ahmad al-Assadi, the front man for the Popular Mobilization Units, told Middle East Eye.
"We consider them an occupation force and we will deal with them on this basis," he said." As long as they are seen as occupiers, we have a right to adopt all available means to deal with the occupiers."
