ANKARA, Feb 21 (Reuters) - Turkey's military denied there had been clashes on Thursday between its troops and Iraqi Kurdish Peshmerga forces in northern Iraq.

"These news (reports) are completely untrue and are produced in order to mislead the public opinion," the office of the military Chief of General Staff said in a statement posted on its Web site.

Earlier, a spokesman for the office of the president of Iraq's largely autonomous Kurdistan region said there had been a gunfight between the two sides.
