ERBIL (Kurdistan 24) - Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Friday amid Turkish airstrikes in the Kurdistan Region targeting the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) that his military might launch a joint operation with the Iraqi government against the armed group in the disputed city of Sinjar (Shingal).
“Turkey is always ready to carry out joint operations against the PKK with Iraq but we cannot openly announce the date for such operations,” the president told journalists in Istanbul, reported the pro-Turkish government news website Daily Sabah.
