Reber Ahmed, KRG's Interior Minister, condemned the PKK's presence and its activities, which he claims are the root cause of the ongoing tensions. Ahmed stressed the importance of a unified national policy between Erbil and Baghdad to address the issue.
The Minister's remarks come amidst Turkish military operations targeting PKK within KRG territories. Ahmed emphasized the need for a singular perspective on the PKK, urging all parties to move forward under a common national strategy.
This stance aligns with a recent statement by Ahmed where he declared the PKK's presence in the region as illegal. He also welcomed the Iraqi government's decision to ban the organization.
The KRG's accusations are backed by claims from the Iraqi Interior Ministry, which linked PKK militants to recent fires in the cities of Kirkuk, Erbil, and Dohuk. (ILKHA)
