Turkey will continue its cross-border operations against Kurdish fighters in northern Iraq if Baghdad continues to overlook the rebels’ presence in the region, the foreign ministry said on Thursday, urging Iraqi authorities to cooperate with Ankara.
Turkey has regularly attacked Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) fighters, both in its mainly Kurdish southeast and in northern Iraq, where the group is based.
In June, Ankara launched a new ground offensive, dubbed Operation Claw-Tiger, that saw Turkish troops advance deeper into Iraq.
On Tuesday, a Turkish air raid in northern Iraq killed two members of Iraq’s border guard and their driver, Iraq’s military said, calling the attack a “flagrant aggression”.

Turkish Armed Forces ended a military operation in the Gara region of northern Iraq, targeting Kurdish forces after the death of 13 kidnapped Turks, including military and police personnel, who were executed by the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) according to Turkish officials.
Defence Minister Hulusi Akar said that 48 PKK militants were killed during the military operation against the PKK, while three Turkish soldiers were killed and three others wounded.
Launched on Feb. 10, Operation Claw Tiger 2 was aimed at securing Turkey’s border and find citizens who had been kidnapped previously, Akar said.
Six soldiers and two police officers, kidnapped in separate incidents more than five years ago, are among those identified as killed in a cave in northern Iraq, the Malatya Governor’s office said. Officials are working to identify the remaining three people.
