Iraqi official calls Turkish soldiers stationed in Iraq ‘intruders’
February 08, 2016, Monday/ 17:07:31/
A statement by commission member Falih Elhazali notes that Iraq has tried diplomatic and legal routes, including taking up the matter with the United Nations Security Council ([You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]), for Turkey to remove its soldiers, but to no avail. “Turkish soldiers are intruders in northern Iraq,” he said.
Elhazali stated that Turkish soldiers would only be removed from Iraq via a military operation, which, he claimed, Iraq's volunteer resistance forces, the Hashd al-Shaabi, are ready to do. Elhazali pointed out that the prerogative for such action is in the hands of the Iraqi government.
In December of last year, Turkey deployed a contingent of around 150 troops to reinforce a small unit of military trainers in the Bashiqa camp, citing mounting security risks posed by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL). Turkey has had military advisers in the camp since the capture of Mosul by ISIL militants last year, and is training local forces to fight back against the group.
On Dec. 30, Iraqi Prime Minister Haydar al-Abadi accused Turkey of dragging its feet in fulfilling its earlier pledge to pull out its troops from the country's north, while its foreign minister said Iraq could resort to military force if needed.
