Erdogan: Iraq conflict could escalate into "sectarian war"

Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan told reporters that Iraq's struggle goes " far beyond an encounter with forces affiliated with ISIL", at a press conference in Trabzon on Sunday.

He warned that, under the current circumstances, it could evolve into a "sectarian conflict, or maybe even a sectarian war."
