KUWAIT CITY, -- Kuwait urged Turkey on
Thursday to exercise utmost restraint after the
Turkish parliament authorised a military incursion
into Kurdistan region in 'northern Iraq'.
"We have been following with great concern the
developments on the Turkish-Iraqi borders. We hope
that our brothers in Turkey will observe the maximum
degree of self-restraint," Foreign Minister Sheikh
Mohammad al-Sabah said.
In remarks quoted by the official KUNA news agency,
he called on Iraqi and Turkish leaders to resolve
"border violations and terrorist attacks" through
dialogue.
The Turkish parliament voted on Wednesday to allow
an incursion into Kurdistan 'northern Iraq' to
strike at Kurd militants whom Ankara blames for a
series of deadly attacks into its territory.
