 Jawhar said in an interview with "Baghdad Today" agency, "The upcoming Iraqi parliament is required to take a decision to withdraw these forces and treat them as other foreign forces, as an occupying force of the country's territory."

 He added that "dealing with Turkey should be done through the Iraqi government and parliament, because it is an issue related to sovereignty, especially since Ankara did not respect the country's sovereignty by unilaterally extending its presence inside Iraq."

 Turkey justifies its occupation of southern Kurdistan by saying that it came at the invitation of the Kurdistan Democratic Party.
