  Iraq’s Foreign Ministry has condemned the incursion of Turkish military units into Iraqi territories, calling it a violation of its sovereignty. The ministry noted that any military operation which is not in coordination with the Iraqi government is totally unacceptable. The Iraqi Prime Minister’s media office also said in a statement that Baghdad demands Ankara immediately withdraw its forces from Iraq. The office further called on Turkey to respect good relations between the two countries. The statement comes shortly after a Turkish security source said Ankara has sent hundreds of soldiers to the Iraqi city of Mosul. He claimed the troops will train the Peshmerga forces fighting against the Daesh Takfiri terrorists. The deployment came a day after the Iraqi prime minister warned that Baghdad would consider any foreign troop deployment to Iraq an act of aggression.
