It seems that the visit of Turkish President Recep Erdogan to Baghdad has achieved Ankara's desired goal, which is the path of development and the file of the Kurdistan Workers' Party, which Turkey places on the "terrorist lists" and considers it a security threat to it.
After signing a quadripartite memorandum of understanding between Iraq, Turkey, Qatar, and the UAE to cooperate on the path to development, the Iraqi National Security Council approved, yesterday, Monday, the description of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) as a “banned” organization, despite the party’s international classification as a “terrorist,” and that Iraq It is committed to international resolutions and there is no need to announce this again.
Since the beginning of 2021, Turkey has significantly escalated its operations in Iraq, and carried out many airdrops, as well as establishing security points after its ground forces entered various areas of Dohuk and Nineveh, in addition to announcing the establishment of a new military base in Iraqi territory, with the aim of Pursuing members of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party, especially in the Sinjar district of Nineveh Governorate.
The number of Turkish violations over the past years amounted to more than 22,000 security violations by the Turkish side towards the Iraqi border, while Iraq submitted more than 16,000 protest notes, but the Turkish forces continue to carry out attacks from time to time.
The Prime Minister’s spokesman, Bassem Al-Awadi, told a press conference, “Prime Minister Muhammad Shiaa Al-Sudani and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan signed 26 memorandums of strategic cooperation in various fields, including security, economy, investment, education, health, and other memorandums.”
He added, "The Iraqi National Security Council has described the PKK as a banned organization, and that the Iraqi-Turkish joint security committees are in continuous dialogue. Considering that the organization is banned, their presence in Iraqi territory is in the form of guests and they are not allowed to engage in partisan or political activity or military activity and are dealt with." With them as refugees under the supervision of international human rights organizations.”
He pointed out that "the Iraqi-Turkish strategic agreement signed by the Prime Minister contains a set of points, and a fund will be established in which the oil will be placed in the same manner as the Iraqi-Chinese framework, and that the oil resources will finance the project," indicating that "Turkish companies that will be announced later will work to build dams and dig... New rivers and converting some of the rivers that convert to evaporation from the river into pipes, so these are multiple projects for the coming years.”
He stated that "there are committees that will determine the amount of oil that will be placed in the fund and that the oil will be sold and its prices, which will be the basic ceiling for the projects implemented by Turkey, as they will be financed from the oil-financed fund."
Al-Awadi continued, "Today, Iraq signed a strategic quadripartite agreement with Turkey, Qatar, and the Emirates. This strategic agreement represents the launch of work for the development project in Iraq, and that these four parties will be the basic common ground that will bear the costs and investments, and there will be joint committees and the distribution of work among the four parties."
He pointed out that, “shortly after the signing of the strategic agreement, joint committees will be allocated between the countries, and that Iraq granted the development road plan to the Italian consulting company and it has now been completed to borders beyond Baghdad, and the first section began from Basra to Nasiriyah and then from Nasiriyah to Karbala and then to Baghdad.” In terms of planning, it has been completed according to the economic model, and within a month we will move directly to the committees that determine the economic model, after which the implementation of the development road project will begin.”
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan stressed during his visit to Baghdad that “the agreements signed by Turkey with Iraq will constitute a (strong road map) and a turning point in the course of relations between the two countries,” while Prime Minister Muhammad Shiaa Al-Sudani announced “the signing of a strategic framework agreement between "Both countries."
Erdogan explained, "The two parties discussed steps that could be taken jointly regarding the Kurdistan Workers' Party," noting that "security and cooperation in combating terrorism are among the most important items on the agenda."
Yesterday morning, Monday, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan arrived in the capital, Baghdad, for his first visit in 13 years, while Prime Minister Muhammad Shia al-Sudani described Erdogan’s visit to Iraq as “not a passing visit,” and it will include, for the first time, developing solutions instead of deporting. Crises.
In May 2023, Iraq launched an infrastructure project extending over all of its territory, linking the large port of Al-Faw on the Arabian Gulf to Turkey through railway and road networks, as the development road, which costs 17 billion US dollars, would form a new link between Asia and Europe.
The development path aims to transform the transportation infrastructure in Iraq, after decades of conflict caused the deterioration of road and railway networks, which led to the obstruction of the international and regional movement of goods and services.
The project was scheduled to officially begin this year and extend in three phases until 2050, with the government seeking, in the first four years, to transport 22 million tons of large cargo annually via railway.
It is noteworthy that, on October 26, the Turkish Parliament voted to extend the presence of Turkish military forces for another two years in Iraq and Syria, and authorized the government to send more forces.
Turkish bases are spread in the areas of: Bamerni, Shiladze, Batuvan, Kani Masi, Kiribiz, Senki, Seri, Kopki, Kumri, Kokhi Spi, Seri Zir, Zakho Valley and Amadiya.
