Baghdad labels PKK as ‘banned organization’

The Iraqi government has issued a directive for state institutions to refer to the Kurdistan Workers' Party as a "banned organization" in official correspondence.

According to local media reports, an official letter sent to the Iraqi Parliament included new instructions from Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani regarding the PKK.

Al-Sudani directed that the term “banned organization” be used in all official institutional correspondence when referring to the PKK.

Previously, the Iraqi government had declared the PKK as a “banned organization”.

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan has stated all groups and facilities in Iraq and Syria that are affiliated to the PKK militant group are โ€œlegitimate targets”.

Ankara regards the PKK as a terrorist group and regularly carries out airstrikes in northern Iraq.
