Iraq Unable to Rely on Arab League Kick Turkish Troops
The Iraqi government
cannot rely on the Arab League states in the issue of the withdrawal of
Turkish forces from the country, as the bloc is virtually unable to take
real action, an Iraqi senior lawmaker said on Tuesday.
BAGHDAD (Sputnik) –
On December 4, Turkey deployed up to 150 military personnel to northern
Iraq's Nineveh province, without Baghdad’s approval, allegedly
to provide training to Kurdish militia who are fighting extremists. Arab
League Secretary General Nabil Elaraby on Sunday condemned what he
called Turkey's blatant invasion of Iraq, noting that only the UN
Security Council could facilitate the withdrawal of the Turkish troops.
