After Syria, now they are intervening in Iraq. Turkish people need to get rid of Erdogan and his party. His actions are creating anarchy in the region.

Turkey should respect sovereignty of its neighbours...otherwise Baghdad has the right to shoot down every single person in Turkey's regiment to protect its sovereignty

Turkey in limelight yet again -3rd time to be precise - in a short span of time and all these news / incidents are worth big condemnation for sure. It seems Turkey is acting thus on tips from USA and EU without taking into account the grave repercussions.
