    The visit was delayed
    The delay in the visit of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan sparked controversy and conflicting news regarding its cancellation or postponement, at a time when the official government agencies in Iraq have not issued any position yet.
    On June 26, the Iraqi government announced an expected visit by Erdogan to the capital, Baghdad, to hold talks with Iraqi officials, without revealing any details about it or its official date.
    On Tuesday (8 August 2023), Iraqi government sources denied the cancellation of Erdogan's visit to Baghdad, stressing that the visit is "important to Iraq and is still ongoing."
    An official in the Prime Ministry said, in a press statement followed by "Baghdad Today", that: "The visit has not been canceled, and the arrangement for it is continuing, but until now the date has not been determined by the Turkish side, due to Erdogan's commitments and his intention to conduct an international visit before visiting Baghdad."

    For his part, Karim Aliwi Gahush, a member of the Parliament's Foreign Relations Committee, said, "The historic visit of the Turkish president to Baghdad is ongoing, and there is no delay for it, just as there is no delay in it. The Turkish side has not set its date until the moment, but it will be at the end of the month." current or the beginning of next month at the latest.
    And he indicated that "Erdogan's visit to Iraq is very important, as Iraq has files that need to be resolved and important decisions regarding them are taken in agreement with the Turkish side, especially related to the water file, when Iraq suffers from a major and dangerous drought crisis, in addition to the file of re-exporting the region's oil, so stop this export." cause economic damage to Iraq.

    understandings
    Last March, Prime Minister Muhammad Shia al-Sudani made an official visit to the Turkish capital, Ankara, at the head of a large ministerial and security delegation, during which he discussed several files, most notably security, borders, water, energy, and expanding trade between the two countries.
    The difficulty of making full understandings between the Iraqi government and the Turkish government regarding ending the presence of the PKK militants in Iraq lies in several military field factors. The most prominent of which is its presence in areas that are difficult for the Iraqi forces to reach, within the Iraqi-Iranian-Turkish triangle, which is under the administration of the Kurdistan Region, in addition to the support that the party’s militants receive from armed factions that are usually described as allies of Iran, especially in the areas of Sinjar, west of Nineveh.
    The presence of the party's members, which Ankara classifies as a "terrorist organization" in Iraqi territory, caused many political crises between the two countries, the most recent of which was last year when Baghdad accused Turkish forces of bombing a tourist resort in Dohuk and causing the killing of a number of citizens, which Ankara denied.
