Turkey troops in Iraq, violation of global law
Turkey has recognised a “miscommunication” with Iraq over its recent deployment of troops to the Bashiqa military base in northern Iraq, its foreign ministry has said.

“Turkey, in recognition of the Iraqi concerns and in accordance with the requirements of the fight against Daesh [IS], is continuing to move military forces from Nineveh province that were the source of miscommunication”.
Turkey has said it has been running a training program in a camp established in Bashiqa, near Mosul, to provide training to Iraqi volunteers as part of the fight against Daesh terrorist group.
Isa: Well it is clear that what Turkey has done is a blatant and a flagrant violation of global law and as well as also a major breach of the Iraqi sovereignty.
“Iraq has spared no effort to exhaust all diplomatic channels and bilateral negotiations with Turkey, in order to withdraw its forces that are unauthorized in Iraq”, Jaafari said. It did not say how many troops would be moved or to where.
Jaafari told the Council on Friday that Iraq retains its right of self-defense and is ready to take all necessary measures to end Turkey’s “hostile act” if it is carried out again.
U.S. President Barack Obama has urged Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan to pull troops out of Iraq, amid a row that has split key members of the coalition fighting the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL). He added that the overarching principle for the U.S. is that Iraq is a sovereign country, and foreign forces should only be there if requested by the government of Iraq.
On Tuesday, Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said that the presence of Turkish forces in Bashiqa does not pose a threat to the territorial integrity of Iraq but represents a strong entity against terrorism.
