"Madam President, if we are serious about peace in the Middle East we must control and limit Turkish actions in Iraq and also in Syria. Their presence complicates the situation in Mosul and raises serious questions about their possible aspirations in the Sinjar region. Yesterday the Turkish Foreign Minister stated that Turkey may attack Kurdish troops in Iraq if it felt it to be in the national interest, before accusing the Iraqi Government of tying itself to a terrorist organisation, ignoring, of course, how Kurdish forces are at the forefront of the fight against the Islamic State.
Madam President, whilst Turkey claims to be part of the international effort to liberate Mosul, they legitimise their military forward station at the Bashiqa military camp outside Mosul, at the very time that the Iraqi Government has stated how Turkey sends its troops into Iraq without permission, hence Baghdad’s repeated demands that Turkish groups withdraw.
We must all support a speedy end to the fighting in Mosul and continue to respect the brave sacrifices of Kurdish groups in the fight against Islamic State."@en1
