Turkey has extended the suspension of flights to Sulaymaniyah International Airport until next year.
On April 3, Turkey suspended flights to Sulaimani International Airport, which was supposed to continue until July, but today the Turkish authorities extended the suspension of flights to Sulaimani Airport until December 3 next year, for another six months.
The extension of the suspension of flights to Sulaimani Airport comes after the recent visit of Prime Minister Masrour Barzani to Ankara.
Turkish authorities say the suspension of flights at Sulaymaniyah airport is to express concern about the increased movement of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) in Sulaymaniyah province.
On April 7, after three days of suspension of flights to Sulaymaniyah, a Turkish drone fired a missile at an area near the Sulaymaniyah airport cargo as Mazlum Kobane, the commander of the Syrian Democratic Forces, was in the airport to return to Syria.The attack caused no damage, It was only to send a message that Turkey is aware of Kobane's visit to Sulaymaniyah.
Turkish drones have occasionally targeted PKK officials in Sulaimaniyah province.
After the suspension of flights to Sulaimani Airport, Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) Deputy Prime Minister Gubad Talabani has arrived in Turkey for talks with Turkish officials, but apparently his visit did not affect the Turkish authorities to resume flights to Sulaymaniyah airport.
