Ankara, (IINA) - Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Wednesday met with President of Iraq’s Kurdish region Massoud Barzani, in order to discuss the fight against terrorism.
The two leaders, during their meeting in Ankara, stressed the significance of cooperation to ensure stability in the region, according to presidential sources, World Bulletin online news reported. Erdogan reiterated Turkey’s determination to combat terrorism, including ISIL and the PKK.
Erdogan and Barzani during the meeting also discussed the relations between Turkey and the Iraqi Kurdish regional government, as well as regional issues. Barzani’s visit came amid a diplomatic row with Baghdad over Turkish troops based near Mosul in northern Iraq, where they are training Kurdish Peshmerga fighters.
On Tuesday, Barzani said the Turkish forces had come to Iraq to provide military training for soldiers who will participate in the operation to retake Mosul from ISIL.
