Ankara to Continue to Move Troops from Iraq: Turkey

TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Turkey acknowledged a "miscommunication" with Iraq over its recent deployment of troops to the Bashiqa military base in northern Iraq, saying it will continue to move some of its troops from the Arab country.

Other Media

The ministry said in a Saturday statement that Turkey would continue to move some of its troops out of Nineveh province, where the camp is based, Reuters reported. 

Ankara deployed hundreds of troops to Bashiqa in early December, saying the force was part of an international mission to train and equip Iraqi forces to fight ISIL terrorists.

Baghdad slammed the move, saying it had never invited such a force.
