Türkiye, Iraq reaffirm commitment to ending PKK presence in Sinjar

Sinjar, Iraq ·

The joint statement says Iraqi efforts to restore state authority are continuing and that the Bashiqa-Zilkan base is being handed over gradually. It also reports the activation of a joint security committee.

The Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), a Kurdish armed group that has fought Turkey since 1984, has long maintained bases in northern Iraq. Sinjar, a mostly Yazidi district in Nineveh province, was overrun by ISIS in 2014 and later retaken by Iraqi and Kurdish forces.
