Turkey and Iraq agree to gradually transfer a Turkish military camp in northern Iraq to the Iraqi government, following talks in New York. Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan meet on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly and issue a joint statement outlining steps for the handover.
Both sides also agree to deepen security cooperation and to work on removing “outlawed” or “banned” armed elements from the Sinjar region and northern Iraq. One report says the discussions include efforts to address armed groups in Sinjar, while another emphasizes the end of the presence of outlawed elements across northern Iraq. The arrangements are described as gradual, with details of timelines or conditions not provided in the excerpts.
