Besishq camp transfer to Iraq finalized
Turkey and Iraq announced an agreement to gradually transfer control of the Zilkan military base in Bashiqa, northern Iraq, to the Iraqi government according to an agreed-upon timetable. This followed a meeting between Turkish President Erdoğan and Iraqi Prime Minister Al-Zaydi at the United Nations. The base, established by Turkey in December 2015 located 32 kilometers north of Mosul, has been a source of tension between the two countries, especially after Turkey deployed around 600 troops there. The agreement reflects Iraq’s progress in strengthening its security sovereignty and comes within the framework of enhanced security cooperation between the two nations, though no specific timeline has been set for the handover. The two sides also discussed removing elements of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) from Sinjar, an area previously controlled by ISIS. The Iraqi government reaffirmed its full authority over the region to ensure stability and security.
