The PUK group of the Iraqi Parliament condemned the Turkish state’s armed drone attacks on South Kurdistan, saying that "the silence and lack of action by the governments of Iraq and the Kurdistan Region legitimizes Turkey’s attacks."
The PUK (Patriotic Union of Kurdistan) group of the Iraqi Parliament said in a statement in parliament: "We strongly condemn Turkey’s armed drone attacks on the Kurdistan Region. The silence and lack of action by the governments of Iraq and the Kurdistan Region legitimizes Turkey’s attacks."
The statement added; "In the past 72 hours, a total of seven civilians were killed in two attacks on the borders of Sulaymaniyah (Silêmani) and Dihok provinces. Seven of the victims were from the same family, one of them only a child. Many other people were injured."
The PUK also criticized the Iraqi and Kurdistan Regional governments for their silence, saying that "despite the ongoing attacks, the silence of the two governments, and their failure to take a stand against these attacks is tantamount to accepting the violation of Iraq’s sovereignty and granting legitimacy to the attacks."
The PUK called for the silence to be broken and a serious stance to be taken.
