This issue shows that Erbil is taking advantage of the tensions in Iraq to gain benefits in this country, said Mazin Al-Zubeidi, in an interview with the program "Nim Da'era" on Al-Ahd TV network.

He stated that the Kurdistan region has not raised its voice against the bombardment of certain areas in the region by Turkey. 

The researcher added: "This issue shows that Erbil is aligned with the Americans against Baghdad."

Al-Zubeidi went on to say that the Kurdistan Regional Government is exploiting the tensions in Iraq to gain benefits, and Baghdad will never submit to Erbil's extortion.
