Iraq
Cattle died after Turkey attacked areas in Iraqi Kurdistan
2022-07-11
[Shafaq News] On Saturday, Ottoman Turkish warplanes struck a village within the Darkar district of Zakho in the Kurdistan Region.

A security source told Shafaq News Agency that the attack resulted in the death of many cattle.

It is worth noting that the Ottoman Turkish bombardment continued for two days in the border areas.

Last April, Ankara launched an action called "Operation Claw Lock," A part of its Claw operations, to "prevent terror attacks" and ensure border security following an assessment that the PKK was planning a large-scale attack.

The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the occupiers of Greek Asia Minor...
regularly launches air strikes into northern Iraq, a region where it has repeatedly sent commandos to support its offensives.

#20  Back when I was four, I had a pet turkey big enough I would ride it like a horse. I still think live Turkey's are nasty birds. Kind of like the country and its inhabitants.

#18  Actually, that is a rib-eye wrapped with a turkey.

But I'd milk Kurdey for all its worth.

#17  It’s Türkiye! You ignorant Americans!

Hope is not a strategy.

Now It’s Türkiye, Not Turkey, at the United Nations
[NYT] The Turkish government wants the rest of the world to use the country’s own name for itself, and lose the association with a certain bird.

We noted it here at the time. But since we think the association both merited and amusing, we’ll keep it until a new Kemal Ataturk comes along.

In English it's "Turkey". Different language, different pronunciation and spelling. I'd have thought someone who is multilingual would understand that.
