Turkey does not want Iraq to become a battle zone of foreign forces, Turkey’s foreign minister said on Thursday, amid US-Iran tensions, SIA reports citing foreign media.
"We don't want Iraq to be the battle zone of the foreign forces," Mevlut Cavusoglu told a press conference along with his Iraqi counterpart in Baghdad.
He added that Iraq was not alone and Turkey was there to overcome difficult days together. Iraqi top diplomat Mohamed Ali AlHakim, for his part, affirmed that talks with his Turkish counterpart focused on the need to respect Iraq's sovereignty from all sides.
Ali Alhakim said foreign troops need to leave Iraq and US attack on Iran's top commander Qasem Soleimani violated Iraq's "sovereignty and international law." He said if the US and Iran go to war, there will be "no winner" and there will be consequences for not just the region but the whole world.
