Baghdad, Iraq (CNN) -- The Iraqi government on Friday said it rejected Turkey's calls for intervention in its conflict with the Kurdistan Workers Party, or PKK.

Iraq's role is as part of a joint security committee with Turkey and the United States to find 'appropriate mechanisms' to deal with the PKK threat, and not 'playing policeman,' Iraqi government spokesman Ali al-Dabbagh said."
