(Ankara) Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has called on the Iraqi Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) to abandon its claims over the Iraqi city of Kirkuk, stressing that ties between Ankara and Arbil could be damaged if it insists on efforts to annex the multi-ethnic city.
Erdoğan urged the KRG to take down its flags in the Kirkuk as the city belongs to Turkmens, Arabs and Kurds.:
