Kurdish protesters in Iraq shout 'no to Turkey'
Source: CNN

BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- Thousands of Kurds and their supporters poured into the streets of northern Iraqi cities on Thursday to protest the Turkish parliament's approval of cross-border raids into Iraq.

Some 10,000 demonstrators in Irbil, the capital of the Kurdish regional government, carried banners and signs and shouted "no to Turkey."

Riot police were on hand, but there were no reports of disorderly conduct.

In Duhuk, another mainly Kurdish city in northern Iraq, 5,000 demonstrators marched to the U.N. offices, according to The Associated Press.

2. If they had shouted
"No to PKK", everything would be much easier. Then there would not be any invasion in northern iraq.

4. If they didn't allow their territory to be used as a haven for terrorists
They wouldn't have this issue. If you don't want the Turks to invade, kick the PKK terrorists out.
