Russia to Turkey: Withdraw your troops from Iraq - RIA cites Lavrov

MOSCOW: Russia demands that Turkey withdraw its troops from Iraq, the RIA news agency quoted Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov as saying on Tuesday.

“This [keeping troops in Iraq] is an absolutely unacceptable position,” it cited Lavrov as saying.

“In principle, I believe that what the Turks are doing deserves far greater public attention on the part of our Western partners.”
