Reactions continue to pour in over the latest images and information exposing the employment of chemical weapons by the Turkish state in the guerrilla-held Medya Defense Zones in southern Kurdistan (northern Iraq).

Iraqi Parliamentary Security and Defence Commission member Hadi Amirli said they were aware of the reports on the use of chemical and banned weapons by the Turkish state in its ongoing military campaign in northern Iraq.  

“We are following the Turkish state’s attacks on civilian settlements in Iraq closely. We have been informed that Turkey has been using chemical and banned weapons, which is against neighborhood principles and international law,” he said.

Amirli stated that the Iraqi Parliament would establish a commission to determine the Turkish use of internationally banned chemical weapons.
