Statement from Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Kirkuk

A statement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs about developments in Kirkuk was made.

In the statement made by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it was emphasized that they are ready for any kind of business cooperation with the Iraqi government.

“We are closely following the steps by the Iraqi Government to reinstitute its constitutional sovereignty over the city of Kirkuk, which is a model of the country’s social mosaic, and home to our Turcoman Kinsmen throughout history, following the KRG’s illegitimate referendum that was held in violation of the Iraqi Constitution,” said in the statement and continues as follow:

“We welcome the Iraqi Government’s statement that the presence of the members of the PKK terrorist organization will not be tolerated within the city of Kirkuk and that the mobilization of such units would be considered as a declaration of war. We warn the KRG not to add a new one to the grave mistakes it has recently committed. Those who were instrumental in helping the PKK, which may attempt to disrupt peace and harmony in Kirkuk, find a refuge in this region will also be held accountable by us. Taking this opportunity, we emphasize once more the importance we attach to the preservation of Iraq’s political unity and territorial integrity. We underscore that we are ready to any form of cooperation with the Iraqi Government to annihilate PKK’s presence on Iraqi soil.”

In the continuation of the statement, the following expressions were used: “Turkiye will stand by the Iraqi Government during the steps it will take to establish lasting peace and stability in the country.”
