Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.
Turkey will begin a phased handover of the Bashiqa military camp to the Iraqi government, according to an Iraqi army commander cited by First Squawk. The camp, located near Mosul, has hosted Turkish troops since 2015, when they were deployed to train Iraqi forces fighting Islamic State. The move signals a potential easing of long-standing friction between Ankara and Baghdad over the presence of Turkish forces on Iraqi soil, a dispute that has periodically strained bilateral ties. Details on the timeline and scope of the withdrawal were not immediately disclosed.
