Note verbale dated 16 September 2015 from the Permanent Mission of Iraq to the United Nations addressed to the Secretary-General

The Permanent Mission of Iraq to the United Nations presents its compliments to the Executive Office of the Secretary-General of the United Nations and has the honour to transmit to you herewith a summary of violations of Iraqi airspace committed by Turkish aircraft since the start of the current year (see annex). It also wishes to express its condemnation of the infiltration of Iraqi territory by a number of Turkish military units. Such infiltration is a violation of the sovereignty of Iraq and clearly damaging to the countries' bilateral relations.

The Permanent Mission of Iraq would be grateful if the present note verbale and its annex could be issued as a document of the Security Council.
