Turkey starts Iraq withdrawal in 2023
Turkish forces will begin gradually withdrawing from Iraqi territories during the first week of October 2026, with the complete withdrawal expected by the first quarter of 2027. This process will coincide with the finalization of the peace deal with the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK). The number of Turkish troops in Iraq exceeds 10,000 fighters. The withdrawal requires precise coordination and timing between Baghdad, Erbil, and Ankara, following an agreement to progressively transfer the Baashiqa and Zilikan camps to the Iraqi government, while strengthening security measures and ending the presence of foreign armed groups.
