The Iraqi parliament is set to convene on Sunday to vote on an amendment to the budget law proposed by the federal government which could lead to the resumption of Kurdistan Region’s oil exports.
Turkey often carries out ground and air operations in northern Iraq against positions of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), which has waged a decades-long insurgency against the Turkish state.
Turkey vowed on Saturday to work closely with Iraq to secure their common frontier after two Iraqi border guards were killed in a shooting blamed on outlawed PKK militants.
