Iraq's Parliament suspends session for half an hour in protest to Turkish-Iranian bombardment of Kurdistan
The Iraqi Parliament has suspended its Thursday session for half an hour, due to a demand by the Kurdistan Coalition, in protest to the continuation of the Turkish/Iranian bombardment of Iraqi Kurdistan's border areas, a Kurdistan Legislature stated.
Iraqi lawmakers will hold an emergency session on Friday to discuss ways of ending violence in the oil city of Basra, where security forces have launched a crackdown on Shi'ite militia, the parliament's speaker said.
