Međutim, izjavio je Pope, prekogranični napadi dovest će i do tenzija između Turske i regionalne vlade Kurdistana u Iraku, koja je par godina u velikoj mjeri bila odsutna tokom "demokratskog otvaranja" Turske.
However, Pope said, the cross-border attacks will also introduce tension between Turkey and the Kurdistan Regional Government in Iraq, which has been largely absent for a few years during Turkey's "Democratic Opening".
