Iraqi Vice President Tariq al-Hashemi on Tuesday warned against a possible Turkish incursion into Iraq to fight Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) militants but also promised to prevent cross-border attacks by the terrorists.

"We want both countries to respect each other's borders and expect the sides to be against such a thing," al-Hashemi said upon his arrival in Ankara for a one-day visit. He was responding to a question about a possible Turkish incursion into his country to hunt down terrorists of the PKK."
