Iraq’s Foreign Minister Ibrahim al-Jaafari has warned Turkey that the deadline for the withdrawal of additional Turkish forces from Iraq’s north expires on Tuesday.
He said on Monday that unless Turkish troops pullout, Iraq intends to raise the matter before the United National Security Council.
Turkey says its troops have been stationed at a small base outside of the Iraqi city of Mosul since last year as part of a training mission coordinated with the Iraqi government in Baghdad.
