如不解决对伊拉克主权的任何侵犯行为，将鼓励其他国家侵犯其安全和领土完整。伊拉克不遗余力地通过所有外交渠道同土耳其进行双边谈判，以说服该国从伊拉克撤出未经授权的部队。12月6日，外交部在巴格达召见土耳其大使，向他提出正式抗议，要求土耳其政府发表声明，澄清土耳其军队入侵的情况和背景。巴格达还接待了一个土耳其代表团，表明必须撤回未征得伊拉克联邦政府同意并与其协调即进入我国的土耳其军队。
Failure to address any violation against Iraq’s sovereignty will encourage other violations of its security and territorial integrity by other counties. Iraq has spared no effort and exhausted all diplomatic channels and bilateral negotiations with Turkey in order to persuade that country to withdraw its unauthorized forces from Iraq. On 6 December, the Ministry for Foreign Affairs summoned the Turkish Ambassador in Baghdad and presented him with an official protest, demanding that the Turkish Government issue a statement clarifying the circumstances and background of the incursion of the Turkish troops. Baghdad also received a delegation from Turkey and made it clear that Turkish troops that had entered the country without the consent of and coordination with the Iraqi federal Government must be withdrawn.
