Azerbaijan, Baku, Oct. 13 / Trend E.Kosolapova /
Turkey will not tolerate terrorism threats and Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) activity in Iraq, Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said today following the meeting with his Iraqi counterpart Hoshyar Zebari, Anadolu agency reported.
"Turkey will not tolerate the PKK's threats in Iraq," Davutoglu said.
Turkey and Iraq continue cooperation in fight against terrorism and reasonable steps will be taken in this direction, he added.
Hoshyar Zebari arrived in Turkey yesterday, following the Turkish Parliament's prolongation mandate on conduct of cross-border military operations in northern Iraq.
Within the framework of the visit, Zebari is discussing the problem of Kurdish separatists and other regional issues.
Turkish parliament approved on September 5 a motion submitted by the government for cross-border military operations in fight against the outlawed Kurdish Workers' Party.
The group, listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the United States and the European Union, launched an armed campaign for an ethnic homeland in the mainly Kurdish southeastern Turkey in 1984, sparking decades of strife that has claimed more than 30,000 lives.
Earlier Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki stated that Iraq should prevent foreign interference and use its internal security forces with a view to effectively fight against the terrorist PKK.
