ANKARA
Iraqi ambassador in the Turkish capital, Ankara, was summoned Friday to the Turkish Foreign Ministry headquarters over latest remarks by Baghdad on Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu's visit in the northern Iraqi city of Kirkuk.
Ambassador Abdulemir Kamil Abi-Tabikh was summoned for a meeting with Under Secretary Feridun Sinirlioglu who reportedly conveyed Turkey's uneasiness over "unacceptable remarks by Iraqi officials."
Turkish diplomatic sources cited Sinirlioglu as telling the Iraqi ambassador that Turkey had no secret agenda in its relations with Iraq.
Davutoglu paid a historic visit in the oil-rich Kirkuk on Thursday, becoming the first senior Turkish statesman ever to visit the city in 75 years.
