The Iraqi government has called on Turkey to apologise for an attack on an airport in the country’s northern Kurdish region, denouncing what it called a “flagrant aggression” against its sovereignty in the area.The demand on Saturday came as a Turkish defence ministry official told the Reuters news agency that no Turkish Armed Forces operation had taken place in that region in recent days.Iraq’s presidency said the attack on Friday took place in the vicinity of the Sulaymaniyah airport in the semi-autonomous Kurdish region. It blamed Turkey for the attack and said Ankara had no legal justification to continue “intimidating civilians under the pretext that forces hostile to it are present on Iraqi soil”.
