London (KurdishMedia.com) 17 October 2009: 82 Iraqi MPs demands to annul of the decision of Turkish parliament that allows the Turkish army’s incursion into the Kurdistan’s territories. These are not only Kurdistani MPs, but a number of Iraqi MPs from other parliamentary blocs signed the petition too.
It has been few years since the Turkish parliament routinely vote to legitimise incursion into Iraqi Kurdistan. The Turkish decisions are unilateral that do have any regard for the views of Kurdistan Parliament or for those of the Iraqi parliament. In this sense, Turkey regards Iraqi Kurdistan's territory as an extension of its own.
The Turkish army frequently attack Iraqi Kurdistan’s territory militarily under the pretext of pursuing the PKK. However, most observers agree that Turkish attacks are only to undermine the Kurdistan’s political entity in Iraqi Kurdistan. A high number of families have been displaced as the result of these attacks.
