KURDISH officials appealed to trade unionists and progressives to stop Turkish war crimes in Iraqi Kurdistan today as Ankara’s forces were accused of using chemical weapons once more.

“The British government has not only turned a blind eye to this invasion, but has also supported it by supporting [Turkish President Recep Tayyip] Erdogan’s regime and his Kurdish collaborators,” a Kurdistan National Congress (KNK) spokesman told the Morning Star. 

“The Kurds are under immediate threat of invasion and genocide. We call on the British public and trade unions to press the British government to stop backing Erdogan,” he said.
