DUBAI (Sputnik) — On Friday, media reports emerged of up to 150 Turkish military personnel having been deployed in northern Iraq's Nineveh province, allegedly to provide training to Kurdish Peshmerga fighters.
On Sunday, Baghdad said it would use all available options, including an address to the UN Security Council, if Turkey failed to withdraw its troops from northern Iraq within 48 hours.
"We demand from Turkey that it respect Iraq's sovereignty, we gave them 48 hours to resolve the issue and now there are only 24 hours," Abadi said, as quoted by his press office.
