ERBIL, Kurdistan Region – Turkish caretaker Prime Minister, Ahmed Davutoglu, spoke for one hour with the Kurdish President Masoud Barzani about the objectives of the recent Turkish airstrikes "north of Iraq" in Kurdistan region.
“I talked with Barzani about the goal of the airstrikes that Turkey carried out in the north of Iraq,” said Davutoglu. “Barzani has reiterated coordination with Turkey.”
“There are still threats in Qandil against Turkey,” said Davutoglu, who also added, “I told Barzani that this operation is not against any ethnicity of northern Iraq.”
