Iraq’s Kurdish NGOs demand World Community to act to stop Turkish attacks.

ARBIL / IraqiNews.com: The Chairman of Iraqi Kurdistan’s Non Governmental Organizations (NGOs) has demanded world governments and International Organizations to act for putting an end to the continuous Turkish aggressive attacks on Kurdistan territories.   “We demand the UN Security Council, the European Union and the United States of America to act for the stopping of the Turkish aggressions against Iraqi Kurdistan,” Adnan Anwar Beg told a news conference on Sunday, attended by IraqiNews.com news agency.   Anwar Beg also demanded the Iraqi Federal government to “implement its responsibilities towards the said violations, to keep away from ‘timid attitudes,’ and to strive to stop the Turkish bombardment and aggressive acts against the (Kurdistan) Region’s territories,” adding that the NGOs have demanded the Iraqi Parliament to “press on the Iraqi government to take a serious and firm position against Turkey.”   Noteworthy is that the Kurdistan Region’s government had expressed anger and protest against the Turkish air raids on Kurdistan Region, thing that forced large numbers of its inhabitants to desert their home villages that suffered from severe material damage.   The Kurdistan government pointed out that “the protection of the Region’s security can’t be achieved through individual acts and leaning to violence and crossing the borders, that stands counter to the International laws and principles of friendship, but through joint talks between the Federal government, the Kurdistan government and the Turkish government.”   Turkish warplanes have carried out several air raids on the areas of Saidakan, Qandil and the border villages of Warti and Qasri, along with other areas of Kurdistan , under the justification of chasing the anti-Ankara, Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), taking refuge in those areas.   SKH (FT)   553
