Today, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan will be in Baghdad after an absence of more than 12 years.
The visit is historic, not only because of the resumption of communication after a long interruption, but also because major issues are pending between the two parties, the continued postponement of which was the main cause of concern for the two countries.
Security concern is the most prominent. The border areas between us and Turkey have always been a space for creating crises for decades, and the treaties and agreements that the previous regime concluded with the Turkish side only succeeded in temporarily calming the situation until a security breach occurred there, then things returned to their previous state of tension and turmoil, and the time has come for this machine that Crises produce to stop.
Iraq's share of water is a crucial and even existential file for us, and therefore it is natural that it will be the first file that will be opened at the negotiating table, followed by other files such as trade exchange, combating terrorism, and other issues of utmost importance.
It was noteworthy that Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said that “the number of agreements that the two parties will sign may reach twenty agreements,” which is a large number that constitutes what amounts to a strategic framework for the Iraqi-Turkish relationship.
Erdogan's coming to Baghdad brings some optimism in terms of the disappearance of the reasons that prevented the president of a neighboring country from visiting us, which were security and political obstacles. The removal of these obstacles will increase the level of hope. Then, the role that Iraq has played over the past years as a meeting point and a bridge that connects the discordant sides makes it imperative for it to bring its relations with its neighbors to a normal state, especially since the region’s dilemmas are reaching their peak these days due to the “Israeli” aggression that threatens to expand the circle of fire.
A few days ago, I saw a video of President Erdogan praising Baghdad and its history, and it will be today in this great city, which, no matter how many wounds it has, stores in its depths the reasons for its life and its ability to create glory. We hope that his visit will be crowned with success, so that he may remember as he leaves that famous Turkish proverb that says:
I'll be happy to see you, I'll be happy for you
It means: “There is no love like a mother’s love, and no city like Baghdad.”
