The Turkish foreign ministry has summoned the Iraqi charge d'affaires to convey discomfort with statements by Iraqi authorities about a Turkish military operation against Kurdish militants in northern Iraq, the ministry said on Thursday.
Turkish warplanes, helicopters and drones were part of an air and land operation in northern Iraq against Kurdish facilities ranging from camps to ammunition stores.
Iraq accused Turkey of violating its sovereignty and on Tuesday summoned the Turkish ambassador in Baghdad and delivered a "strongly worded" protest note to him, the foreign ministry said in a statement.
