Iraq wants Kurdish rebels to avoid antagonising Turkey after fears were raised of being targeted by Turkey’s military.

A day after Turkey's parliament approved cross-border operations against PKK rebels, Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari assured them the separatist PKK group was operating without permission from regional authorities.

PKK fighters have launched attacks on Turkish territory from Iraq.

In the first Iraqi reaction to the vote in Turkey's parliament, Mr Zebari called on PKK rebels, who are fighting for an independent Kurdistan, to leave Iraqi soil.

Mr Zebari, an ethnic Kurd himself, said his government wanted to push the PKK out of the country but lacked the military power.
