Media: Turkish military leaving Iraq

Information Agency Reuters with reference to a source in the Turkish military circles, reports that the Turkish contingent has begun to abandon its position in northern Iraq. According to the source, Baghdad was able to reach an agreement with Ankara on the withdrawal of the Turkish military from Iraqi territory. Earlier, Turkish President Erdogan said that the Turkish military will remain in northern Iraq, as they allegedly serve as an instructor and guard corps for the Kurdish militia in the Iraqi province of Nainawa.

Reuters writes that a column of Turkish military on armored vehicles reached for the Turkish border. Whether it will be a full-fledged withdrawal of the military personnel of the Turkish Armed Forces or it will be rotational measures that were initiated by Erdogan and his “allies” in the Middle East - it will be possible to find out in the near future. Official information on this issue, by definition, should be published by Baghdad.

It is worth noting that, according to the governor of the Iraqi province of Ninawa, at least a thousand Turkish military and about two dozen were in the region tanks. Baghdad gave Ankara time to withdraw its contingent, but the Turkish authorities ignored the requirements. Then Baghdad announced his appeal to the leadership of NATO and his readiness to raise the issue in the UN Security Council.

On the one hand Mi-35 appeared, on the other hand, Turkish tanks leave. Coincidence?

And who called them to Iraq? The peacekeepers themselves bumped ... Now, if Iraq had invited them, like Syria. And so Iraq is trying to throw mattresses off the contract in order to turn to Russia.

[_Vladislav_]

We need to wait for confirmation of this information, according to other media.
And then they can change their minds.

There is no coincidence. In addition, the Iraqi army has nothing to oppose the best army in the region. Second Army of Europe.

Mi-35s (which, incidentally, are in Syria) cannot be a serious argument against the entire Turkish army. Turkey is a regional power. Without the use of weapons of mass destruction, the Russian Armed Forces will lose there. What to say about Iraq.

The only thing that could really affect the possible withdrawal of troops, the position of NATO partners. Like they played too much, waved waved a saber, let it be. P.E. the prospect of fighting alone, first with Iraq, and there is not far from the war with Russia, such a prospect is not bright.

In addition, the Turks understand that even if Russia (in the event of a war) does not achieve military success, Turkey’s infrastructure could be badly damaged - this would throw the Turks a decade ago. And they also understand the prospect of such a development of the situation.

Well, about the hurt, that’s weakly said. The trouble with Turkey is that it is an industrialized country in a relatively small territory. Chem. factories, if they explode, then, do you consider it more hygienic to use nuclear weapons?

Historical experience says the opposite: of the eight Russian-Turkish wars, Russia lost only one (the Prut campaign of Peter 1), and in all other wars, Turkey was a bat.

[volodimer]

Here one shot on Solovyov's program said that we, and they (as NATO members) were calling for help (well, like Assad) and now they can "legally" plow Crimea and Donbass with their aviation. Here is such an alignment in their heads. But they are all peaceful, they did not ... We must appreciate, however.

[Major Yurik]

Whoa, the Turcoids will be interrogated somewhere in one of the habitats of the planet Earth! In the air, such as while hiding, now they are vomiting at sea to the fullest, no gu-gu on the ground yet, but the Turks are such a jag, until they rip off they calm down!

Erdogan can be cunning, he won’t just leave, we’ll see it flinch already well.

[Gani]

Yes, it was just pure provocation! well, or with a quick swoop - suddenly ride. There, Erdogan is doing well and everything was and is, there were about 200 military-type people officially, and God knows how many military and special services in "civilian clothes". And so the official application is my territory! but it didn't work, well, okay, only image losses and that's not a fact

In fact, Mi-35s appeared in Syria, and Turks are withdrawing troops from Iraq.

in Iraq they (Mi-35) have been around for a long time, and they have already managed to lose one.

Come on! Normal rotation, most likely. So that the Turks do not try to squeeze oil-bearing regions from the now impotent Iraq? Right now, the show-off will beat the "troops" withdrawn "to appease the UN, then they will be introduced again, but in a reinforced composition.

[SRC P-15]

According to the source, Baghdad was able to reach an agreement with Ankara regarding the withdrawal of the Turkish military from Iraqi territory.

As agreed to withdraw, just agree and enter back, but in larger quantities. The United States will help. And the Turks will be there officially already, which is what everyone wanted, except for Russia.

[kodxnumx]

Apparently, Russia, through the UN Security Council, has brought Ankara up! They put jackals in their place.

[Gani]

Security Council Russia, and Iran quietly, maybe the states scolded - not insolently defiantly, but the Turks will quietly at least have a thousand, at least 5-7 thousand and will send all the hell out of them - there are 200 instructors and that’s all, and we all brought

[Uran]

let's be quiet fast

[MstislavHrabr]

They backtrack, lure or reassure, then - unexpectedly beat a weakened enemy ... This is their long-standing tactics, so do not rush to assess it.

[Maksus]

I think the black gentleman ordered and the Turks rolled away. Looks dizzy with success.

[sa-zz]

I would never believe that Erdogan left so easily.
Anecdote to the topic
Moscow. Kutuzov Avenue. Violating all conceivable and inconceivable rules of the road, the old woman runs across the roadway. Squeal of brakes. Hit. Granny is under the wheels of a VW Touareg V12. Due to emergency braking, the Audi A6 Allroad quattro flies into the Touareg, into it the Cube (Mercedes-Benz Gelandewagen), then the Hammer H2 and Toyota Land Cruiser 100, and in turn: Rolls-Rose Phantom, Bentley Continental GT, Aston Martin DB9, Porsche Cayenne and completes the picture of the Lamborghini Diablo.
A driver comes out of Lamborghini, steps back and to the side to better see the whole picture, and pronounces with a note of admiration in his voice:
- YES, granny left beautifully!

This one just won't leave

How many times did this button accordion hear - it became interesting: they are like a column and travel around Moscow, what can they do to each other? Are there any Muscovites? Seen this - well, except for night pokatushek on KAD?

[ayyildiz]

The Turkish military leaves the territory of Iraq! Lies, only the place of deployment is changed! Remain in Iraq

[Woodman]

Well, apparently, NATO refused to support the Turks, but they themselves are still afraid to do such things, that’s the result.

[kolyhalovs]

But the result is some kind of no. Turkey is a great power or where? Or where. Her Iraq flooded. And this is not that Iraq, this is this miserable Iraq. It’s not, of course, clear that this is the USA, but it looks somehow unsightly for Turkey.

[Gor-1974]

Maybe they had an arrow there? (Clearly they will not go at it charged) We arrived and talked and parted, but from the outside it seems like an invasion

Of course. Iraq already had Mi-28s, but this did not stop the invasion. If the information is correct, then here is something else.

[Vvp]

killed the Turks through the UN - our diplomacy is at its best!
And the Turkish government itself begins to understand that their ambitions are empty, because their realization is reduced by Russia to the number Zero.

[72jora72]

I think this is not the end of the story, to be continued .....

[anfil]

Again messages from Reuters...

But another source reports another

The Iraqi government cannot confirm that Turkish troops were withdrawn from the country. This was stated by the official representative of the Government of Iraq Saad al-Hadisi, reports Sputnik.
"At the moment, we do not have any information confirming the withdrawal of Turkish troops from Iraqi territory," al-Hadisi said.

[Wolka]

I think the withdrawal of Turkish troops from Iraq and the additional arrival of our Mi-35 in Syria links of one game

[lukke]

according to the governor of the Iraqi province of Ninew, there were at least a thousand Turkish military and about two dozen tanks in the region.

and how relatively quiet it went in western democratic media. Now, if we were fooling around in the East of Ukraine, would Europe immediately transfer a couple of hectares of forests to paper and tons of printing ink, not counting the number of torn farts of any heralds from the Baltic states, Poland, etc.?)

[Al_oriso]

It is unlikely that the Turks will leave just like that.
They can move about their business, for example, for groceries, for cigarettes ...

This is an American M60 tank. The Turks are now:
- 658 tanks M60A3 TTS (American modernization, with a combined thermal imaging sight gunner AN / VSG-2);
- 274 of the M60A1 tank;
- 104 of the M60A1 RISE (Passive) tank, American modernization, with passive night instruments of the commander and driver;
- 170 M60-T Sabra tanks, Israeli modernization of the M60A1, with the installation of an 120-mm gun and a modern SLA.

[avva2012]

This is an American M60 tank. Correct if, I'm wrong: T-55, a classmate of M48, but, just M60- T-62. Our tanks, with the same reservation, are usually lighter. T-62 gun, on 5 mm., Smaller, so what. Starting speed, lower? Automatic charging, i.e., you can shoot faster and more per unit time. Moreover, obviously, the silhouette of the M60 is higher. So what is the best American?
And, one more question, "are the Syrian tanks not modernized?"

[ydjin]

To paraphrase the classic: -Tim timid Turks fled!

[iouris]

There is a rotation (some leave, others enter).

[Support]

In the course of the Turks breaking. The time has come and it’s the turn to go on a slam, which every 100 years - has already expired ....

Burn all the tanks.

[rubidium]

somehow they retreated very easily ... if they retreated.

[dchegrinec]

Create the illusion of movement. Poroshenko told how to withdraw troops, taught!

[Kupez4]

Both Iraq and Turkey are sponsored by the United States. The Yankees play interestingly.

[Nzn]

In general, either the Turks completed the task and leave, or put pressure on them through the UN Security Council, or, which seems most likely, there will be the same circus with the exit from Iraq as with the withdrawal of weapons in Ukraine :)

Thanks. That is, the car was put into production in the early 60s? And what, then, some comrades, are contemptuous of the T-55 and T-62, among the Syrians? Or an American tank, by definition, "hoo!"

Turkish M-60 are in the best technical condition. Many have been upgraded. And the Syrian forces after the collapse of the USSR fell into decay. Many tanks demanded a banal repair before the Civil War.
So Turkish tanks are really awesome as well preserved.
