Erdoğan's military occupation of Iraq continues expanding, with more and more troops and equipment being sent every night in the latest offensive of the imperialist war of aggression, now also openly paroling villages of the Duhok Governorate of Iraq as if it was theirs.

Turkey's military occupation of northern Iraq/southern Kurdistan now has set up a checkpoint on the road to check identities of the people between two locations (Berwarî and Amedi) reports StêrkTV.
Probably checking for the resistance or people they can torture for such information.

The "Kurdistan Region of Iraq" government held by Erdoğan's quisling-party in the area, KDP, ignores and has previously aided the invasion,
while the federal government is held hostage by the KDP holding the ability to cause it to fall, as well as having grabbed key positions like Minister of Foreign Affairs of Iraq.

"The Turkish Armed Forces (TAF) have set up checkpoints 35km within the territory of the semi-autonomous Kurdistan Region of Iraq (KRI), stopping and interrogating local traffic while distributing leaflets thanking them for their cooperation. [...]

[...] in addition to deploying hundreds of tanks and armoured vehicles around the Matina region in Duhok province, a high-ranking Turkish delegation is likely to visit Baghdad. In the past 10 days, Turkey has deployed 300 tanks and armoured vehicles to Iraqi Kurdistan."

"While images from the ground confirm the media reports that Turkish troops have set up checkpoints in northern Iraq, reports are coming through of further activity and violations by the occupying army in the region.

Citing local sources, Rojnews agency reported on Saturday that Turkish soldiers raided the village of Dergelê in Kanî Masî town of Duhok last night. The occupiers threatened the villagers and told them to evacuate the village within 24 hours."

Mkaay, cool, maybe stop arming https://todon.eu/@b9AcE/111913995609586917 the the rebranded al-Qaeda allied and ISIL collaborating aggressor.

Also, WTF do you mean "ongoing threat posed by the PKK"?!?
How is anyone a "threat" by being attacked with chemical warfare while remaining in the areas of officially Iraq where they had signed agreement with Turkey and Iraq to relocate to as part of the ceasefire agreement that Erdoğan unilaterally broke by entirely unprovoked invading and occupying S Kurdistan/N Iraq committing many war crimes well documented on average several times daily while the PKK's forces remain adamant in following the Geneva Conventions since 1995. Are you on meth?

Night to today, Erdoğan's major invasion of the Duhok Province in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq continued with yet another large movement of APCs and infantry. Presumably also battle tanks as during recently previous nights.
In mountainous areas transport helicopter, air assault, continues to be used for the imperialist war of aggression invasion instead.

Turkey's war of aggression invasion army in S Kurdistan/N Iraq burns villages and prevented the locals from extinguishing the fires.

This follows that army's previous practice of setting e.g. crop fields on fire with bombardment from their >100 military occupation forts in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, to then shoot at any of the locals coming to rescue their own livelihood, or similar using flares (long- and intense-burning fires) dropped from low-flying helicopters, or simply having its soldiers or auxiliary forces go do the crop- and general nature-arson directly by hand, which are methods they use also within Erdoğan's civil war against the Kurdish majority areas under the regime.

All of that being explicitly defined specific war crimes.

Fascism is always eco-crime and war is always ecocide
@ophiocephalic Yes, of course. Every war is a crime against humanity.
The reason that I keep pointing out sometimes when acts are officially labeled as war crimes, is to also implicitly point out the hypocrisy of when States don't act against frequent and blatant war crimes campaigns.
Especially when the intent is to cause starvation amongst the civilian population as a method of warfare
https://ihl-databases.icrc.org/en/customary-ihl/v1/rule53
or to intentionally target the general nature
https://ihl-databases.icrc.org/en/customary-ihl/v1/rule43
https://ihl-databases.icrc.org/en/customary-ihl/v1/rule44
https://ihl-databases.icrc.org/en/customary-ihl/v1/rule45
for example.
The first makes remaining living where they do impossible, displacing or killing the people, which often is intended as a part of genocide and the others usually leaves devastation which will take nature up to decades to recover from, if ever, opening up for desertification, species extinctions and increased climate change rate.

Hopefully my comment wasn't interpreted as contrarian, more just a reiteration of the obvious. These are good links, thanks for them. Depressing though, as you note, that Erdog regularly violates all of them and more, and the response of the "western" powers is to shower him with more weapons systems. Biden's gift of fighter jets to Turkey is exactly as amoral and cynical as his arming of the Gaza genocide

@ophiocephalic Oh no, didn't think of it like that at all. I just wanted to share my thoughts on it with you.

The ICRC is the organization responsible for maintaining, promoting, etc the Geneva Conventions and many similar instruments, including holding many expert panels discussing their interpretations into reality and publishing a very good edition with essential commentaries.
So, that IHL database can probably be considered as authoritative as it gets, apart from an ICJ ruling or similar. Highly recommended reference page.
