Following the spread of the militant terrorist attacks and the insecurity in Iraq, Arshad Al-Salehi, head of the Iraqi Turkman Front called on the UN Representative in Iraq, Nickolay Mladenov to form a military force under the command of the International Forces.
Al- Sumeriah television cited Salehi asking United Nations Assistant Mission in Iraq (UNAMI) to address the insecurity in areas in Iraq including Tuz, Kirkuk and Diyala. The Turkman natives of these areas have recently been the target of militant attacks.
