Turkey urged Iraqi VP better remain at home
9:36 AM
Turkey's foreign minister Ahmet Davutoglu on Saturday urged wanted Iraqi Vice President Tareq al-Hashemi, to stay in Iraq but added Turkey would not turn him away if he requested asylum. "What would be appropriate for us is that Mr Hashemi should stay within the Iraqi territory," Middle-east-online.com quotes Mr. Davutoglu as saying. Hashemi, a member of Iraq' Sunni Arab minority who has escaped to the autonomous Irag’s Kurdish region, is the subject of an arrest warrant that has plunged the state into political chaos.
