The Kurdish-Turkish conflict spilled over into Iraqi Kurdistan in 1983. And has continued there intermittently since. The Turkish Armed Forces has launched a series of operations in Northern Iraq against the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK). More than 37,000 people have been killed in the "conflict since 1984."
The operations resulted in a permanent Turkish presence in northern Iraq since 2018. The Iraqi government at one time viewed these operations as a violation of Iraq's sovereignty, with President Barham Salih demanding from Turkey their end, "and the withdrawal of all of the Turkish armed forces from his country's territory."
