Hammam Hamoudi: Turkish withdrawal and settling the Sinjar file pave the way for broader cooperation with Ankara

Sinjar, Iraq ·

Hammam Hamoudi, head of Iraq's Supreme Islamic Council, said serious steps toward withdrawing Turkish forces from Iraqi territory and settling the Sinjar security file would open wider cooperation between Baghdad and Ankara, especially economically.

Turkey has kept troops in northern Iraq for years in operations against Kurdish armed groups, and Sinjar has been a contested security file since the Islamic State takeover in 2014.
