PressTV - Iraq seizes Turkish military aircraft for violating its airspace

Iraqi authorities have seized a Turkish military aircraft that violated the country's airspace after it landed in the northern city of Mosul, Iraqi media reported.


There is no news on whether the aircraft was forced to land or made an emergency landing at Mosul airport on Friday, according to Iraq's Alsumaria news agency.

The aircraft was reportedly carrying an armored car that allegedly belongs to a high-ranking Iraqi official.

Earlier, Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki accused his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan of interfering in his country's internal affairs, saying Turkey is becoming a “hostile state” in the region.

The Iraqi premier made the remarks in response to Erdogan accusing Maliki of taking an “egocentric approach” in politics.

Maliki also said the statements made by the Turkish premier “confirms that Mr. Erdogan is still living the illusion of regional hegemony.”

The latest tensions come in spite of Turkey’s position as one of Iraq’s top trade partners, with bilateral trade between the two neighbors valued at 12 billion dollars in 2011.

Damn WTF?!

Are you guys retarded or what read properly before u comment " the aircraft was reportedly carriying an armored car that alledgedly belonged to an high ranking official"
this is obviously a military cargo plane most likely a C-130.

So it was captured after it landen in mosul, now mosul is under control of KRG, Turkey have good relation with KRG, the central government of maliki did it but how is it possible to do this if peshmerga have full controll over the area.

This actually is a message from Iran To Turkey, they say we will make trouble for you in Iraq too if you continue your policies regarding Syria etc
