fischer al-jazeera at the white house. iraq has told turkey to pull its troops out of the north of the country and to stop bombing it comes after turkey deployed ground troops and carried out ass tracks on kurdistan workers party or p k k targets on sunday and tuesday iraq's foreign ministry summoned the turkish ambassador on thursday saying it was a violation of sovereignty and marks a serious escalation of its decades long conflict against the p.k. k. often focused on kurdish areas in southeastern turkey similar felton is in baghdad and says it's not just the turkish ambassador who's been summoned. at the same time the ministry of foreign affairs is also someone that the iranian ambassador over similar operations that have gone on in the north and that is quite unusual because iran is a country that is seen as wielding quite
1:09 am
a lot of influence over past governments here in iraq and someone in the iranian ambassador is quite a departure from previous foreign policies and it signals that the new prime minister most of them is trying to create some sort of equivalence in treating all of iraq's neighboring countries in the same way insisting that they have to respect iraq's sovereignty now let's remember what happened during these operations we had 2 separate events going on in the northern kurdistan region and one was an attack by a turkey which consisted of both air strikes and the ground incursion and on the iranian border with iraq we also had artillery strikes against an area called in and in fact we heard today that those strikes resulted in at least one civilian casualty as well as other people being injured so some morning they are in an ambassador is quite quite relevant but also significant step now it remains to be seen how much
1:10 am
effect these decisions will actually have because let's remember that baghdad does not control these areas they're controlled by a semi autonomous kurdish regional government in the north the federal government does not have any troops to really enforce its request that these attacks on northern iraq stop so the diplomatic channel to try to request the neighboring countries to respect iraq's sovereignty is really all that the ministry of foreign affairs here can do but those areas under the control of kurdish parties and those kurdish parties although they have not officially said so are likely to welcome these operations because they target the p.k. k. and the kurdish authorities are very much also likely to be keen to see the depart from kurdish areas. al qaeda has confirmed the death of its north africa chief of the drug den earlier this month from said its military killed him and several of his close allies during an operation in mali french forces have been hunting him
