During a press conference, Major General Abdulkhaliq Talaat said that “we will counter anybody who wants to spoil the security of the city of Erbil and the investigation into the incident is ongoing on the order of the interior minister.”
Several rounds were fired at the two offices on Friday evening in apparent retaliation for a similar incident at a Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) office in Sulaimani the previous night amid tensions between the two parties.
On Monday, two suspects were arrested in Sulaimani on charges of shooting at the KDP office.
No one was hurt in any of the incidents.
The two parties met on Monday in an effort to calm the situation.
Talaat also dismissed rumors that there had been a political incident at the headquarters of the Turkmen Front in Erbil on Sunday, saying that it had merely been a quarrel between a taxi driver and the building’s guards, NRT reported.
“The Front Turkmen has filed a lawsuit and the driver was arrested,” he said.
“No political factor was behind the incident.”
