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."

"Over the last week Turkey has moved thousands of troops and hundreds of tanks and military vehicles into Duhok Governorate in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq.
In a statement, the US State Department [...] urged Turkey to protect civilians and respect Iraqi sovereignty."

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?

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.

"Turkey brings Al Nusra ["former" regional al-Qaeda] and other jihadists to Northern Iraq to fight against PKK"

Congratulations, Biden, your encouragement through e.g. the recent sale of 40 new F-16 model jets which is used e.g. for this invasion of Iraq, has let "former" al-Qaeda expand, just because you won't let go of your İncirlik NATO Air Base and was too horny to expand NATO so surrendered to Erdoğan's extortion over allowing the expansion.

That government and its auxiliaries you have thus enabled have many times very clearly declared intending genocides, annexation and further aggression into e.g. Greece and much, much farther.
How many genocides can one person make themself complicit in through just one presidency term?

The many YEARS of the federal govt and parliament of Iraq demanding Turkey leave, while being extorted using cutoff of Iraq's major rivers and through Erdoğan's quisling puppet Barzanis' KDP threatening to cause the fall of the govt if they don't do what KDP and thtough it Erdoğan orders Iraq to do,
has been a loooong process wherein all those States with power to stop Turkey just let the invasion continue, in spite of its several weekly war crimes and its involving the al-Qaeda you once claimed were most important in the world to defeat.

Erdoğan's war of aggression in what's officially Iraq, in addition to the one in Syria, continues advancing methodically setting fire the the general nature and locals' food crops as they go.

Here's a new fire started this evening by the invading occupier at the village Rêkan in Duhok Province of the Kurdistan Region of Iraq.
Locals again reported being prevented by Turkey's occupation army from extinguishing the land of their own homes.

Again, these are absolutely indisputable and systematic war crimes:
───
Rule 45. The use of methods or means of warfare that are intended, or may be expected, to cause widespread, long-term and severe damage to the natural environment is prohibited. Destruction of the natural environment may not be used as a weapon.
───

───
Rule 43. [...]
A. No part of the natural environment may be attacked, unless it is a military objective.
B. Destruction of any part of the natural environment is prohibited, unless required by imperative military necessity.
[...]
───
https://ihl-databases.icrc.org/en/customary-ihl/v1/rule43

etc, etc

Not just their fields of crops, but also tractor needed for future agriculture, was burned by Turkey's army invading to further occupy Iraq's Kurdistan Region, with long declared intent to illegally annex.

Their systematic actions clearly are intentionally targeted against the region's majority Kurdish people as a group and as the same group is similarly targeted in Erdoğan's other war of aggression as well as domestically in the likewise unilaterally restarted civil war, for deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part.
The last part of the previous sentence is exactly and in full definition "c" of what "genocide means" in the "Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide".
Yet, USA, et al keeps arming the genocidal aggressor. The leaders of those have thus chosen to make themselves co-culprits.

'The Turkish army announced the annexation of the city of Amêdiyê and the Barwarî Bala region in Southern Kurdistan to Turkish territories, by placing Road signs [...] "No entry, Turkey’s borders” in Arabic'
https://hawarnews.com/en/turkish-occupation-annexes-2-cities-of-s-kurdistan

This is of course absolutely a gross violation of supposed international law, but you know... it's the wrong people being violated so world "leaders" don't give a fart.
