( Cihan ) - The prime minister of the Kurdish administration in Arbil, north Iraq, Nachirvan Barzani, said that the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) was an internal issue for Turkey, and that they would not interfere in the internal issues of any of their neighbors.
Speaking at the prime ministry, Barzani said that there was no relation between the PKK and the northern Iraqi Kurdish government and reiterated his appeal for a peaceful solution to the problems.
