BAGHDAD, July 10 (Reuters) - Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan arrived in Baghdad on Thursday, officials said, the first Turkish leader to visit Iraq since the U.S.-led invasion in 2003. Ties between Iraq and neighbouring Turkey have often been strained over the presence of PKK Kurdish rebels in northern Iraq. Turkish military incursions in pursuit of the separatist rebels have often drawn protests from Baghdad.
