Furthermore, the statement warns that silence against recent aggressions can lead to the permanent occupation of a part of the Iraqi land and its attachment to Turkey with its catastrophic consequences and change of state’s map.

Finally, al-Nujaba Islamic Resistance recommends Iraqi people and government to employ all diplomatic, international, popular and economic methods in defence of state’s borders and sovereignty, and that a highly significant way in this regard is the elimination of enemy’s pretexts.

It ought to be noted that Turkey’s army has occupied some parts of Iraq bordering with the Kurdistan region and announced the cause of its action is standing against terrorist and separatist Kurd groups.
