Iraq’s Vice president Nuri al-Maliki said on Thursday that the Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is a “serious threat” to global security.
The former Iraqi prime minister also announced that President Erdogan is a facilitator for terrorist organisations such as ISIS, and will hinder international efforts to eliminate them.
Iraqi News reports:
Maliki said in a statement received by IraqiNews.com, “Erdogan claims that the Russian aircraft had penetrated the airspace of Turkey for a few seconds, forgetting that his aircraft have been violating Iraqi and Syrian airspace daily, and his tanks are messing up in these two countries amid local, regional and international silence.”
Maliki added that “The aggressive policies adopted by Erdogan threatens the world with a new war,” explaining that “Erdogan not only facilitates the movement of ISIS terrorist gangs, but he threats the international efforts to eliminate terrorism as well.”
