ARBIL, Iraq, Oct 19 (AFP): Iraq's autonomous Kurds vowed Friday to fight off any attack on their region, as Turkey mulled a military incursion to crack down on Kurdish rebels.
"We frankly say to all parties if they attacked the region or Kurdistan experiment under whatever pretext, we will be completely ready to defend our democratic experiment and the dignity of our people and the sanctity of our homeland," said a statement from the region's presidency.
