Prime Minister of the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, Masrour Barzani met his British counterpart Boris Johnson in London last month
TURKEY has been accused of using chemical weapons more than 70 times on guerilla positions this week as its war on Iraqi Kurdistan intensifies.
The banned munitions are said to have been used to strike bases held by the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) in the Avashin, Metina and Zap mountain ranges, known collectively as the Medya Defence Zones.
Officials from the Kurdish resistance group said by using the chemical weapons Turkey was committing war crimes and warned against downplaying their use.
