Turkey sent a delegation to Baghdad on Oct. 17 for talks with the Iraqi administration, aiming for Baghdad to reconsider its objection to Turkish troops stationed in northern Iraq.
The delegation, headed by Foreign Ministry Undersecretary Ümit Yalçın, includes officials from various security institutions and will hold talks in Baghdad on Oct. 17, sources speaking on condition of anonymity told the Hürriyet Daily News.
The delegation will discuss the mandate and task duration of Turkish troops in the Bashiqa camp in Mosul province. A previous proposal by Ankara to bring the Bashiqa camp within the status of the anti-Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) forces is also on the agenda, sources said.
In 2015, Ankara had proposed that the U.S. should continue training in the camp under the mandate of coalition forces, including elements of the Iraqi army, but did not receive a positive response.
Turkey wants its troops to continue their duties in Bashiqa until the coalition forces entirely clear ISIL out of Iraq.
