Iraq and Türkiye have reached an agreement to begin the gradual transfer of the Bashiqa-Zilkan military camp to Iraq's federal government, marking a significant development in relations between Baghdad and Ankara.The agreement was announced on November 8, 2026, following discussions between the two countries' joint higher committee. It follows an understanding reached by Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan in September.The discussions also addressed security arrangements in Sinjar, where both governments agreed to reactivate a Joint Security Coordination Committee to monitor efforts to restore Iraqi government authority and address the presence of armed groups.Established by Türkiye in 2015 near Mosul, the Bashiqa military camp has long been a source of diplomatic tension, with Baghdad repeatedly objecting to the presence of Turkish forces on Iraqi territory.The latest agreement raises important questions about Iraqi sovereignty, regional security and the future of military cooperation between the two neighbouring countries.SOURCE & ATTRIBUTION DISCLAIMERThis news podcast is intended solely for news reporting and informational purposes.
