The Iraqi government on Tuesday denounced the Turkish incursion and demanded an immediate withdrawal of Turkish troops from northern Iraq. Spokesman Ali al-Dabbagh said the military action was a
violation of Iraqi sovereignty, and he called on the Turkish government to engage the Iraqis in dialogue
instead.
"The Iraqi Cabinet has denounced the Turkish army's incursion," al-Dabbagh said in a televised statement after the government met to discuss the issue. (AP)
