Turkey welcomes Iraqi measures in Sinjar and links them to handing over the Bashiqa base

Sinjar, Iraq ·

Turkey's defence ministry welcomed steps taken by Iraq's government to extend state authority in Sinjar district of Nineveh province. The ministry said Iraqi security forces taking responsibility for security in the area was a step toward stability, in a statement issued on Wednesday.

Sinjar is a district in Nineveh province in northern Iraq, home to many Yazidis, which the Islamic State group seized in 2014 before Iraqi forces and their allies retook it. Turkey maintains a military base at Bashiqa near Mosul, a issue that has long been contested between Ankara and Baghdad.
