ANKARA (Sputnik) – The head of the National Intelligence Organization of Turkey (MIT) and a deputy foreign minister will visit Iraq on Thursday, Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said.
“Our participation in Iraq is directed at providing stability in the country. We would not like to be neighbors with the Daesh, also known as ISIL/The Islamic State and prohibited in many countries, including in Russia]. It is with this goal we are providing support to both Iraq and the Kurdish Regional Autonomy of Iraq.
