The occupying power continues to try to expand the areas of its occupation in Southern Kurdistan and expand its control at the expense of the people of the region, and the attacks it has been launching since April 23, on the defensive areas of Medya in this context.

These attacks come amid popular accusations by the Baghdad government and the Kurdistan Democratic Party of colluding with it.

During the past days, the KDP’s Peshmergas prevented the Human Shields event for condemning the Turkish occupation's attacks on Southern Kurdistan.

'Turkish occupation is not new'

In this context, Iraqi researcher and historian Dr. Jawad Al-Baidani said: "What is new in the matter? Turkey has occupied Iraqi lands since 2003 after the American occupation.”

He added, "What is new in all of this is that Turkey has pushed in three axes, the first towards the Syrian border, the second down to the Qandil areas, and the other axis towards the Iranian border. Perhaps some axes were pushing strongly, especially towards the Syrian border. But some moves towards the Iranian border, maybe was slow because of the nature. "

Al-Baydani posed several questions, saying: “The question: Has the Turkish army rushed to support and support from the Iraqi government? Has the Turkish army rushed to these areas with the support and coordination with the Kurdistan Regional Government?

He explained in this context, "It is clear that the Iraqi army does not have a foothold in these areas   and the movement of Turkish forces is in the areas of influence controlled by the Kurdistan Democratic Party, Consequently, there may be coordination between the Democratic Party and the Turkish army. "

Kirkuk and Sulaymaniyah to H He explained in this context, "It is clear that the Iraqi army does not have a foothold in these areas (the Kurdistan region), because it is under the control of the Kurdish parties (the Kurdistan Democratic Party - the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan), and the movement of Turkish forces is in the areas of influence controlled by the Kurdistan Democratic Party, Consequently, there may be coordination between the Democratic Party and the Turkish army. "

Kirkuk and Sulaymaniyah to Hawler ... What does Turkey want?

Regarding the goals of that, Al-Baydani said: "The stated goal that the Turkish politicians mentioned is to eliminate the influence of the PKK, and as the Turks say, this is done in coordination with Kurdish parties or with the Kurdistan Regional Government and with the Iraqi government."Hewler ... What does Turkey want?

Regarding the goals of that, he said: "The stated goal that the Turkish politicians mentioned is to eliminate the influence of the PKK, and as the Turks say, this is done in coordination with Kurdish parties or with the KRG and with the Iraqi one."

Al-Baidani believes, in this context, that the Iraqi government is outside the whole arc of this planning.”

He added, "The question remains: Does Turkey really want to control these areas to ward off the danger of the PKK’s operations? The answer is that Turkey, over the years, confirmed that it was aiming to control areas." Especially the entire Mosul region. According to the Turkish strategy that includes Erbil, Sulaymaniyah and Kirkuk, to reach the Turkmen areas of influence.

'Turkey is preparing to establish the most prominent air base in the Middle East'

He explained, "So expanding is a gradual issue, started with fourteen bases, but the have exceeded; so that there is a base that the Turkish government seeks to expand to become one of the most prominent bases in the Middle East region, and it may also be an air base for its unmanned operations."

On the success of this, Al-Baidani said: “The truth is this is a great risk, because the rejection began from the people of the region and even the KDP’s leaders. There is strong opposition in the region that may lead to operations carried out to attack the Turkish convoys by means of their continuation or attacking their bases through artillery bombardment or by Katyusha shells. This is what Turkey fears, and therefore the spread of Turkey will be intersecting in order to open fire in the form of scissors and exhaust the forces that try to attack them through the multiplicity of bases that exceeded 40 bases and stations close to each other.

'Erdogan carries out American policy'

He said, "Erdogan’s policy goes in line with the American strategy to contain Hamas and remove it from the Iranian umbrella through the support he is allowed to provide to this organization and isolate Iran, as is happening in Iraq now. They are trying to isolate Iraq from Iran as well.", Hamas from Iran, and bringing Arab countries like Jordan and Egypt closer to Iraq and Saudi Arabia. "

'Turkey is risking with a stiff opposition'

In the conclusion of his speech, the Iraqi researcher and historian. Dr. Jawad Al-Baidani said:” we are watching thing without building on an absolute order, but we say if turkey keeps escalating in the KRI, it will face stiff opposition, which may rise to the armed opposition.”
