The Prime Minister of the Kurdistan Region Nechirvan Barzani is visiting Turkey on an official visit where he is expected to discuss bilateral relations and the Kurdistan Workers' Party rebel group with top officials.
During the two-day visit, Barzani will meet Turkish Prime Minister Recep Teyyip Erdoga and President Abdulah Gul in addition to Minister of Foreign Affairs Ahmet Davutoglu.

The visit coincides with tensions between Baghdad and Ankara over the latter’s refusal to extradite Iraq’s Vice-President Tareq Hashemi, who has been charged with terror.
