On the sidelines of the 78th UN General Assembly in New York, Iraqi Foreign Minister and deputy PM Fuad Hussein spoke to FRANCE 24's Marc Perelman about the recent deadly drone attack in Iraqi Kurdistan, a security agreement with Iran, the recent US-Iran prisoner swap deal, as well as relations between the Kurdistan regional government and the federal government in Baghdad.
Following Monday's drone attack in the semi-autonomous region of Kurdistan, the Iraqi government has accused Turkey of being responsible for the strike, which caused the death of at least three members of an anti-terrorist unit. Hussein condemned the attack as "not acceptable" and "a violation of the sovereignty of the country". He added that he was planning to meet his Turkish counterpart in New York to discuss the matter.
