The Iraqi Kurdistan Regional Government considers the Turkish authorities' military operation against Kurds in southeastern Turkey to be genocide, the regional government's representative Aso Talabani told RIA Novosti in an interview in Moscow, Sputnik News reports.

"There is no doubt that civilians suffer the most… That is why the extermination of the Kurds is an actual genocide," said he, adding that there are no PKK militants in some of the cities Ankara is carrying out its military operation.

"Say there is one partisan in a house. But hundreds of ordinary people [also] live in that house. The Turks bomb that house from tanks and helicopters. To kill one militant, [they] have to kill a hundred of civilians," the official said.
