Erbil-INA

Turkish warplanes launched several raids today, Friday afternoon, targeting the villages of Atush and Bebadi in the Jumanki district of Dohuk Governorate, while the Foreign Relations Committee in the Kurdistan Parliament confirmed the formation of committees to follow up the issue.

The director of Jumanki district, Al-Nad Amir, told the Iraqi News Agency (INA), that "Turkish aircraft continued from 12:30 in the afternoon until one and five minutes by bombing the villages of Atouch and Bebadi, which are five kilometers from the center of Jumanki district."
Amir emphasized that "the bombing did not result in loss of life, but there are material damage and fires in the farmers' farms," indicating that "the residents of the villages were displaced from it due to the constant bombing, but they go to it for agricultural work."
He added, "Because of the presence of PKK elements within the borders of these areas and villages, the Turkish planes bombed continuously, which caused constant terror and fear among the civilians of the area."
For his part, the head of the Foreign Relations Committee in the Parliament of the Kurdistan Region, Rebwar Babaki, told the Iraqi News Agency (INA), that "the Turkish bombing is old and has continued since 1992 and until now due to the illegal presence of PKK elements in Iraq and the region."
He pointed out that "this issue causes embarrassment to the regional government in front of the citizens, and also affects Iraqi sovereignty," stressing that "the federal government can address this issue in several ways, including diplomatic with Turkey, and military ones by expelling the party's members from Iraqi lands."
Babaki warned, "The PKK is carrying out the agendas of other countries on Iraqi soil, and its presence is illegal and their presence is not permitted in the parties law in Iraq or in the Iraqi constitution."
