Behram Salih to Eliminate Kerkuk Worries in Ankara

Salih’s visit is the first face-to-face high-ranked official meeting with a Kurdish leader after Turkey’s warning, "Peshmergas should immediately leave Kirkuk".

Speaking to Zaman about the Salih’s program, IKYB Turkey representative Bahruz Galali said: "We do not have any problems with Turkey. In fact, we requested this meeting." Galali added: "We will talk about regional issues, Iraq’s future and our mutual relations. In addition, we will be convening with military officials to inform them about the latest developments in the region".
