Iraq opposed to to U.S. base transfer from Turkey to Kurdistan

Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) Iraq is opposed to the rumored United States intentions to transfer its military base in Turkey to Kurdish areas in Iraq or Syria, an Iraqi government source was quoted saying on Tuesday.

Iraqi website Almaalomah quoted the source saying that “the Iraqi government has received with astonishment the news about U.S. plans to relocate its military base in Turkey’s Incirlik to Iraqi Kurdistan or Kurdish regions in Syria”.

According to the source, “Baghdad will reject any U.S. step in that direction and will not accept U.S. bases on its soil”.
