He added: The Iraqi government must take‌ necessary measures to ensure⁣ national sovereignty and expel ​Turkish forces from ‍Iraqi territory.

Al-Shammari⁤ further stated: The Iraqi ‍parliament opposes the presence of foreign forces on its soil. After the dissolution of the PKK,Turkey must withdraw its troops from⁢ northern ⁣Iraq and occupied ⁣regions.
