UNELECTED Mayor of Sinjar Mahma Khalil called on the Iraqi government to assert control over the area on Monday to prevent the threat of a Turkish invasion, a move seen as part of a co-ordinated plan to oust the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) from the region.

He insisted that the PKK should leave after Turkey warned it would attack the organisation and its affiliates.
