Turkey may soon close its border with Iraq, if Baghdad "continues to provide the humanitarian needs of northern Iraq," Turkish President Erdoğan said, Hurriyet reports.
"Our talks [with Iraq] on what we can do are continuing. If they [the Iraqi Kurdistan Regional Government] hand over the border gate to the central government, we’ll set the condition [that the central government] must meet all the needs of the people under the northern Iraqi administration. We have not yet closed the gates, but this could happen at any time," Erdoğan said.
