Prominent Iraqi politician warns country against provocations in aftermath of Duhok attack
BAGHDAD, Iraq (AA) – A prominent Iraqi politician warned his country Friday against provocations in the aftermath of the Duhok attack that killed nine people earlier this week.
Stressing that Türkiye had expressed a willingness to cooperate in uncovering the truth about the attack, former governor of Ninevah Governate, Atheel al-Nujaifi, said attacking Turkish interests would harm Iraq’s interests.
If Türkiye was not sure about the results of an investigation, it would not have taken such a step, he said.
Against that backdrop, the Iraqi government should initiate an objective investigation to clear any confusion, said Nujaifi.
He drew attention to the fact that some local media outlets and those on social media have been keenly trying to manipulate Iraqis and mislead the public.
