BAGHDAD – The Associated Press
Iraq’s Kurdish regional government called on the outlawed Kurdistan Worker’s Party (PKK) to “withdraw” from Iraq’s Kurdish territory Aug. 1 to prevent civilian deaths amid a campaign of Turkish airstrikes targeting the group.
A statement from the office of Kurdish Regional Government (KRG) President Massoud Barzani said the PKK “should withdraw its fighters from the Kurdish region so to ensure the civilians of Kurdistan don’t become victim of that fighting and conflict.”
