Kuwait condemned, Friday, the recent Turkish and Iranian military interventions in northern Iraq, and considered it a flagrant violation of sovereignty and the rules of international law.
The Kuwaiti News Agency quoted an official source in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as saying that “The State of Kuwait, based on its principled and firm position and its rejection of any interference affecting the sovereignty of any of the sisterly Arab countries, it confirms its condemnation of the recent Turkish and Iranian military interventions in northern Iraq.”
The Kuwaiti official source stressed that these interventions represent a flagrant violation of the sovereignty of Iraq and a violation of all international norms and legal rules, as well as the threat it poses to the security of Iraq and the stability of the region.
The source affirmed that Kuwait stands by Iraq and supports it in all the measures it takes to preserve its sovereignty, security, and stability.
Both Turkey and Iran launched attacks on the Kurdistan region of Iraq, which resulted in casualties in a step condemned by Baghdad, and subsequently summoned the ambassadors of the two countries to inform them of their protest.
Like Kuwait, Egypt Condemned Turkish Violations
Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned in the strongest terms the recent Turkish and Iranian military interventions in northern Iraq, according to a statement issued late Thursday.
“These hostilities are a continuation of the series of repeated violations against brotherly Iraq in violation of all international covenants and agreements stipulating respect for the rule of countries and adopt the principles of good neighborliness,” the statement read.
Moreover, Cairo calls on all parties to respect the sovereignty of Iraq and to distance it from any international or regional conflicts that hinder achieving the aspirations of the brotherly government and the people of Iraq for stability and development.
