Turkey is supporting Iraqi attempts to combat ISIS threats to Kirkuk, other regions

Kirkuk, Iraq ·

Turkey's Ministry of Defense said it welcomed Iraq's reinforcement of outposts and observation posts along the border. Ankara has interests in Kirkuk and the city of Tal Afar.

Kirkuk is an oil-rich city in northern Iraq with a mixed population, and Turkey has long taken an interest in its security and in the Turkmen community there. The Islamic State group seized large parts of Iraq in 2014 and lost most of its territory there by 2017, but it still carries out attacks.
