Turkey enhances ties with Iraq via Bashiga gate
Turkey and Iraq have reached an agreement to transfer the Bashiqa military base near Mosul to the Iraqi government, aiming to enhance security cooperation and restore Baghdad's control over the area. The agreement focuses on the gradual handover of the base by Turkish forces according to an undisclosed timetable, with the goal of improving relations and containing groups affiliated with the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), especially in the Sinjar region, which remains a major point of contention. The success of the implementation depends on Iraq's ability to fully regain control of Sinjar, a challenge due to the presence of Resistance Units in Sinjar linked to the PKK, although officials remain optimistic about the possibility of fully executing the agreement soon.
