The Turks target Barzani for sanctions

I thought this was interesting. The Turks are targeting Barzani.
A gradual economic embargo is being imposed on firms connected to Iraqi Kurdish leader Massoud Barzani and flights to the northern Iraqi city of Arbil have been stopped, said Ercüment Aksoy, the head of the Foreign Economic Relations Council's (DEİK) Turkish-Iraqi Business Committee in an exclusive interview with business daily Referans last week.....

“The embargo will be against individuals, institutions and sectors who are collaborating with the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK). Turkey does not want to punish the Iraqi people,” he said.
