Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki has charged his Turkish
counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan with interfering in his country's
internal affairs, saying Turkey is becoming a “hostile state” in the
region.
According to Press TV., Maliki said in a recent statement posted on his website “The latest statements of Erdogan are another return to the process of interfering in Iraqi internal affairs,”
The Iraqi premier made the remarks in response to Erdogan accusing Maliki of taking an “egocentric approach” in politics.
Erdogan said after closed-door talks with President of the Kurdistan region Massoud Barzani in Istanbul on Thursday “The current prime minister’s treatment toward his coalition partners, his egocentric approach within Iraqi politics… seriously concern Shiite groups, Mr. Barzani and the Iraqiya group.”
Maliki also said the statements made by the Turkish premier “confirms that Mr. Erdogan is still living the illusion of regional hegemony.”
He added “Insisting on continuing these internal and regional policies will damage Turkey’s interests and makes it a hostile state for all.”
Maliki said “It is regrettable that his statements have a sectarian dimension which he used to deny before but which have become clear, and are rejected by all Iraqis.”

Why is Turkey acting as once Saddam and his regime did who invaded Iran just to please the outlawed colonial terror regimes who have been in business of nothing but dividing and terrorizing the ME region any way possible. And, nothing short of looting of the Muslim world's natural resources and fueling wars in return by supplying tens of billions of dollars of arms and armaments to their puppet dictators? What a shame that that Turkey has been pushed to lose much of its influence among the ME intellectuals if not the world and so rapidly! No wonder keeping one's trust is much harder than earning it. Or, better put "hypocrisy can only last for so long before being exposed"
ReplyDeleteObviously this just for one's selfish action again. For the power and wealth. We have to be aware of this thing. Just hoping someday people who will govern us will be able to realize why they are in their positions.
