Turkey and Iraq have reached an agreement under which Turkey will hand over control of a military camp in northern Iraq, marking a shift in their long-standing tensions over cross-border security. The move follows years of disputes, including accusations from Iraq of Turkish military incursions and the establishment of bases near their shared border. Both nations have emphasized cooperation in combating shared threats, though the arrangement may ease some regional concerns while leaving unresolved broader disagreements. The deal highlights the delicate balance between sovereignty claims and counterterrorism efforts in the region.
