List of Turkish operations in northern Iraq
The Kurdish-Turkish conflict spilled over into Iraqi Kurdistan in 1983,[ 7] and has continued there intermittently since. The Turkish Armed Forces has launched a series of operations in Northern Iraq against the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK).[ 8] More than 37,000 people have been killed in the conflict since 1984.[ 9]
The operations resulted in a permanent Turkish presence in northern Iraq since 2018.[ 10] The Iraqi government at one time viewed these operations as a violation of Iraq's sovereignty ,[ 11] with President Barham Salih demanding from Turkey their end, and the withdrawal of all of the Turkish armed forces from his country's territory.[ 12]
