Iraqi Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein answered the questions of journalists about Turkey's bombing of the picnic area in the village of Perex in Zaxo. Hussein announced that it was determined that the attack was carried out by Turkey regarding the incident in which 9 Arab tourists lost their lives and 22 people were injured.

 

Hussein called on Turkey to apologize to the Iraqi people, warning Turkey to "stop the attacks". Expressing that Turkey should pay compensation to the victims of the attack, Hussein stated that they will take the incident to the United Nations Security Council.
