[QUOTE="horuhe00, post: 44008191, member: 33931"] Iraq's Cabinet on Tuesday condemned the Turkish military incursion in northern Iraq and called the operation a "violation" of its "sovereignty," the government said in a statement. The ground incursion, which started Thursday, is targeting bases of the Kurdistan Workers' Party, or PKK, in the Kurdish region of northern Iraq, where the militants have launched cross-border attacks against Turkey. Turkey's effort to thwart the PKK has been supported by the United States and Iraq. But American and Iraqi officials have also voiced concern that civilians would be caught in the crossfire, that the offensive be prolonged and the hostilities could destabilize the region in and around the Kurdish area of northern Iraq. "The Cabinet expressed its rejection and condemnation of the Turkish military incursion, which is conceder a violation of Iraq sovereignty, and demanded not to target civilians and infrastructure, and called on Turkey to withdraw its troops immediately and to refrain the military incursion," the government statement said. [B]The officials characterize the effort as "unilateral military action."[/B] They say it is "unacceptable and threatens the good relations between the two neighboring countries."
