Euronews1 min read85 words
Turkey has announced that it will gradually hand over the Bashiqa‑Zilkan camp in northern Iraq to the Iraqi government. The camp has been occupied by Turkish troops since 2015, and the transition marks a step toward reducing the country’s military presence in the area.
The handover will be conducted in stages, with Turkish forces remaining in place only until the Iraqi authorities assume full control. This move follows Turkey’s decision to withdraw its troops from the strategic base, ending a presence that began in 2015.
