VOI

An Iraqi Kurdish lawmaker believes that if Turkey wages a military strike against Iraqi Kurdistan, the United States will take the side of its friend Turkey at the expense of the Kurds.

'Turkey is a strategic and long-time ally of the United States and a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), while the Kurds have been allies of the U.S. for some time,' Mahmoud Othman, a member of the Kurdistan Coalition (KC), the second largest bloc in the Iraqi parliament with 55 seats, said."
