Diplomatic and military sources said that the US has given the green light to Turkish troops being under the command of a Turkish officer and of the contingent having its own zone of operations.
These two issues were among the key conditions set by Turkey regarding the deployment. However, responses to other questions, especially those related to the terrorist group the PKK/KADEK, currently active in the north of Iraq, have not been revealed as yet. | |
