Iraqi President Abdul Latif Rashid condemned Turkey on Saturday for bombarding an area near Sulaimaniyah airport in the autonomous Kurdish region, a flashpoint between the two governments. ManilaBulletin
"Turkish military operations against the Kurdistan region continue to take place, the last being the bombardment against Sulaimaniyah civilian airport," Rashid said in a statement.
Contacted by AFP, a source at the Turkish defence ministry denied any involvement in Friday's bombardment saying "Turkish armed forces undertook no such activity". On Monday, Ankara halted flights to and from Sulaimaniyah until at least July 3, blaming increased PKK activity in and around the airport.
