A PKK official called the Iraqi government to confront the ''Turkish army's incursion''
[SHAFAQ] An official in the anti-Ankara Kurdistan Workers Party called, on Saturday, the Iraqi government to confront the “Turkish army's incursion” into border areas in Kurdistan Region."The Turkish army targeted several border areas in Duhok Governorate, in conjunction with clashes between PKK militants and the Turkish army that are still going on until now and on the the anniversary of the Armenian genocide," Hiwa Zagros, the spokesperson for the military wing of Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) told Shafaq News Agency.
He pointed out that "PKK members are clashing with the Turkish army to push it to withdraw from some areas," calling on the Iraqi government to "confront the Turkish occupation because these attacks target Kurdistan and the Turkish army aimed to carry out a genocide against the Kurds."

PKK rejects repeated calls from the Region and the Iraqi government to leave Iraq because of its fighting with Turkey which killed and displaced thousands of people.

Speaking to the operation's command centre by video link, Erdogan said the offensive's objective was 'to completely end the presence of the terror threat along our southern borders'.
'There's no room for the separatist terror group in the future of Turkey, Iraq or Syria,' he said in reference to the Kurdish bully boys.
'We will keep on fighting until we eradicate these gangs of murderers, who cause nothing but tears and destruction.'
In February, Turkey launched an operation dubbed 'Claw-Eagle 2' against PKK rebels holed up in the northern Iraqi region of Dohuk. That raid created controversy because it was designed in part to rescue 12
Turkey accused the PKK of executing the 13 men before they could be freed, and Erdogan came under attack for poorly planning the offensive from opposition parties in parliament.
The February raid also created problems in Turkey's relations with Iran, which now has a strong political and military presence in Iraq, and which treats Erdogan's regional campaigns with suspicion. Iran's ambassador warned in February that
