Dissolution of terrorist organization PKK-linked parties
Recently the Iraqi Supreme Judicial Council has ordered the dissolution of several political parties and groups linked to the terrorist organization PKK, a banned organization in Iraq.
The Iraqi government has started taking serious measures against the PKK/YPG within the country, demonstrating its commitment to national security and political stability.
The government has also expressed full faith in the Türkiye-Iraq Development Road Project that is being established with regional partners with this step being taken.
