"The foreign ministry addressed the international community. The ministry approached the five permanent UNSC members, as well as certain other friendly states to scrutinize and adopt an international position on the violation of Iraq's sovereignty by Turkey," Jamal told Alsumaria TV channel.
Iraq's plea comes after the UNSC convened on Wednesday for a closed-door meeting on the issue at Russia's request. The ministry has also requested that the Arab League hold an emergency foreign ministers' meeting to formulate an Arab stance on the matter, according to Jamal.
According to Ankara, the aim of the deployment was to provide security to Turkish soldiers deployed earlier at the base to train Kurdish militia who are fighting Islamic State (ISIL), also known as Daesh in Arabic, a group outlawed in a number of countries worldwide, including Russia.
Iraq has rejected the claims, stressing that the Turkish forces had not been requested.
