The Office of the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces warned the Kurdistan Regional Guard / Peshmerga / to approach the armed forces. The semi-official Al-Iraqiya Channel said \"The Office of the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces has warned the Kurdistan Regional Guard forces of relocating or approaching from the armed forces.\" It is mentioned that clashes had been erupted two days ago in the district of Tuz northeast of Tikrit, between a force of the Tigris Operations Command and the Kurdish security forces, killed and wounded 18 policemen, mostly from the Tigris operations. The head of the Kurdistan region, Massoud Barzani, said earlier that the formation of the Tigris Operations Command is an important reason for the instability and does not serve the application of Article 140 of the Constitution, adding that Tigris operations command was founded in the intentions and goals against the Kurds and coexistence in the disputed areas. While Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki stressed that \"the movement of the army must be free on every inch of the land of Iraq, and provinces or territory have no right to object\", describing the movement of the Peshmerga in the disputed areas as \"legal and a constitutional violation.\" Maliki said that the formation of the Tigris Operations Command \"is not aimed at a component or a province or national but it is administrative and regulatory action within the constitutional powers.\"
