Kurdish Regional Government Issues Turkish Ultimatum

The Kurdish Regional Government voted by a wide margin to issue a statement
which says the following:

"The Kurdish Regional Government supports the sovereignty of the Iraq and demands that the Turkish military cease its unilateral incursions within the Kurdish area of Iraq. The Kurdish people will no longer be used as the pawns of Turkish attempts to put down the sovereingty of the Kurds."

The Turks have refused to accept this statement, arguing that the Kurdish Regional Goverment is not the sovereign Government of Iraq and iterate their right to continue combating terrorism in all its forms.
