周六晚，土耳其外交部宣布将从伊拉克北部撤出军队，并承认关于此事和伊拉克政府沟通有误。并说，土耳其政府考虑到伊拉克政府的要求和打击伊斯兰国的需要，正继续从伊拉克北部移动军队。
周五，奥巴马打电话给埃尔多安，要求他采取更多步骤降低和巴格达的紧张关系。巴格达认为土耳其军队非凡入侵，在安理会上要求土耳其立即撤军。

ISTANBUL (AP) -- Turkey says it will withdraw more troops from northern Iraq and acknowledged there has been a miscommunication with the Iraqi government over the issue.

The Turkish Foreign Ministry announced late Saturday the government "in recognition of the Iraqi concerns and in accordance with the requirements of the fight against Daesh (Islamic State), is continuing to move military forces from Nineveh province."

The move follows an appeal from President Barak Obama, who called Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Friday and urged him "to take additional steps to de-escalate tensions with Iraq."

The Ankara-Baghdad spat has been an unwelcome setback to U.S. efforts to accelerate the fight against Islamic State extremists.

Baghdad considers the Turkish troops an illegal incursion and has demanded their immediate withdrawal at a U.N. Security Council meeting.

周五，土耳其总理办公室称，经过和伊拉克官员会谈，已决定将重新组织在摩苏尔附近的军事人员。
周四土耳其外交部副秘书前往巴格达与伊拉克总理就此事进行了会谈。

考虑到伊拉克政府的感受，土耳其决定将重新组织保护营地的军队。总理办公室在一份声明中说。声明中未说怎么重新组织军队。只是说双方同意，将开始建立一个合作机制，以加深安全合作。

ANKARA (Reuters) - Turkey has decided in talks with Iraqi officials to "reorganize" its military personnel at the Bashiqa camp near the northern Iraqi city of Mosul, the prime minister's office said on Friday, after a dispute emerged with Baghdad over the deployment.

Iraq demanded last weekend that Turkey immediately withdraw hundreds of troops sent recently to the camp, near the Islamic State-controlled city of Mosul, saying they had entered Iraqi territory without the knowledge of Baghdad.

Turkey's Foreign Ministry Undersecretary Feridun Sinirlioglu and National Intelligence Agency (MIT) head Hakan Fidan visited Baghdad on Thursday for talks with Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi on the issue.

"Taking into account the Iraqi government's sensitivity, the decision was taken to reorganize the military personnel in the protection force at the Bashiqa camp," Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu's office said in a statement.

It did not say what the troop reorganization would involve, but said agreement was reached to start work on creating mechanisms to deepen cooperation with the Iraqi government on security issues.

Davutoglu said on Wednesday the soldiers were sent to northern Iraq after a threat from Islamic State militants to Turkish military trainers in the area increased.

作为回应美国可能对伊拉克的干预，伊拉克一民兵武装领导人称，将打击美国的军事基地。并说，如果土耳其不从摩苏尔撤军，就摧毁他们的坦克。

TEHRAN (FNA)- Head of Iraq's Badr Organization Hadi al-Ameri said his forces are fully prepared to launch strikes at the US military bases and Turkish troops in Iraq.
"We will target all the military bases of the US in Iraq," the Arabic-language al-Mosle news website quoted al-Ameri as saying in reaction to the US interferences in Iraq.

He, meantime, pointed to Turkey's interferences in Iraq, and said, "The Turkish government should know that we will destroy all its tanks if it does not withdraw from the city of Mosul."

On Sunday, a senior commander of Iraq's volunteer forces lashed out at the US for planning to send special forces to Northern Iraq, and said that Washington is in pursuit of specific political incentives through such measures.

伊拉克向土耳其发出最后通牒，要求48小时内撤出军队，否则将采取包括求助联合国在内一切手段。
土耳其总理称已写信给伊拉克，没有伊拉克的同意，不会进一步部署军队。

Iraq gives Turkey ultimatum
Turkish forces need to leave Iraq in 48 hours or face ramification.
Iraq gives Turkey 48 hours to withdraw forces it says entered the country
illegally or face “all available options”, including recourse to the UN Security Council.

Baghdad, which is struggling to assert its sovereignty while receiving foreign assistance against the Islamic State (IS) jihadist group, said Turkish forces with tanks and artillery entered Iraq without its permission.

Turkish prime minister Ahmet Davutoglu said in a letter to his Iraqi counterpart, Haider al-Abadi, that there would be no deployment of forces until Baghdad’s concerns were addressed.

However, the future of the forces already sent remained unclear.

“In the absence of the withdrawal of these forces within 48 hours, Iraq has the right to use all available options,” including recourse to the Security Council, a statement from Mr Abadi’s office said.

The Turkish forces entered “without the approval or knowledge of the Iraqi government,” it said.

Strained relations over Kurdish region, Syria

In practical terms, Iraq’s options are primarily diplomatic, as its forces are tied down battling IS jihadists and Ankara has a far more powerful military.

Turkey has troops at a base in the Bashiqa area in Nineveh province to train Iraqi Sunni volunteers hoping to retake the nearby city of Mosul from IS, which seized it and swathes of other territory in June 2014.

Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu sent a letter to Mr Abadi on Sunday to update him about “the training program we have been implementing in Bashiqa since last March as well as tasks and activities of our forces there,” a source in his office said.

Mr Davutoglu said in the letter that “there will be no deployment of forces to Bashiqa until the sensitivities of the Iraqi government are addressed,” the source said.

A day earlier, Mr Davutoglu downplayed the deployment as “routine rotation activity” associated with the training effort, and as “reinforcement against security risks”.

“This is not a new camp,” he said.

“Rather, it is a pre-existing “training facility established to support local volunteer forces’ fight against terrorism”, set up in coordination with the Iraqi defence ministry.”

But Iraq’s autonomous Kurdish region, which has forces in the area, said that Turkey had sent military experts and supplies to expand the base.

Iraqi defence minister Khaled al-Obeidi also asked for the forces to be withdrawn in a telephone call with his Turkish counterpart Ismet Yilmaz, the ministry said on Sunday.

数百名土耳其军人到达摩苏尔。这支军队是为了护送一些培训人员到达某训练营对伊拉克军队进行培训。该营地由伊拉克逊尼派为主的前警察和志愿者组成。负责组成该营地武装的是和土耳其关系密切的前州长。在该地区一直有少量的土耳其培训人员。有库尔德人士称，伊拉克库尔德人也获得土耳其人培训。

伊拉克总理媒体办公室称，一个营的土耳其军队伴随坦克火炮，未经伊拉克政府允许进入领土，是侵略。要求立即离开。

ISTANBUL/ANKARA, Turkey (Reuters) -- Several hundred Turkish soldiers have been deployed to provide training for Iraqi troops in an area near the northern Iraqi city of Mosul, which is under Islamic State control, a Turkish security source told Reuters on Friday.

Islamic State militants overran Mosul, a city of more than one million people, in June 2014, but a much anticipated counter-offensive by Iraqi forces has been repeatedly postponed because they are involved in fighting elsewhere.

"Turkish soldiers have reached the Mosul Bashiqa region. They are there as part of routine training exercises. One battalion has crossed into the region," the source said, declining to say exactly how many soldiers had been deployed.

He said troops had already been in Iraqi Kurdistan and had moved to Mosul accompanied by armored vehicles, in a move which coalition countries targeting Islamic State were aware of.

Video released on the website of Turkey's pro-government Yeni Safak newspaper showed flatbed trucks carrying armored vehicles along a road at night, describing them as a convoy accompanying the Turkish troops to Bashiqa.

A statement from the Iraqi prime minister's media office confirmed that Turkish troops numbering "around one armed battalion with a number of tanks and cannons" had entered its territory near Mosul without request or permission from Baghdad authorities. It called on the forces to leave immediately.

In a separate statement flashed on state TV, the Iraqi foreign ministry called the Turkish activity "an incursion" and rejected any military operation that was not coordinated with the federal government.

A senior Kurdish military officer based on the Bashiqa front line, north of Mosul, said additional Turkish trainers had arrived at a camp in the area overnight on Thursday escorted by a Turkish protection force.

He said he was not aware of the size of the force and refused to speculate.

The camp is used by a force called Hashid Watani (national mobilization), which is made up of mainly Sunni Arab former Iraqi police and volunteers from Mosul.

It was formed by former governor Atheel al-Nujaifi, who is close to Turkey. There was already a small number of Turkish trainers there before this latest deployment

"Our soldiers are already in Iraq. A battalion of soldiers has gone there. Training was already being given in that region for the last two to three years. This is a part of that training," one senior Turkish official said.

In Washington, two U.S. defense officials said on Friday that the United States was aware of Turkey's deployment of hundreds of Turkish soldiers to northern Iraq but that the move is not part of the U.S.-led coalition's activities.

PESHMERGA

Another senior Turkish official said the soldiers in the region were there to train Kurdish Peshmerga fighters.

Turkey has close relations with the Kurdish autonomous zone of northern Iraq, though it views Syrian Kurdish groups across the border as hostile to its interests.

"This is part of the fight against Daesh (Islamic State)," he said, adding that there were around 20 armored vehicles accompanying them as protection.

Islamic State occupies swathes of Iraq and Syria, profiting from disunity among groups opposing it.

On Tuesday, the United States said it was deploying a new force of special operations troops to Iraq to conduct raids against Islamic State there and in neighboring Syria, ratcheting up its campaign against the group.

Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi's office has said it welcomed foreign assistance but Iraq's government would need to approve any deployment of special operations forces anywhere in Iraq.

Abadi reiterated that foreign ground combat troops were not needed in Iraq. Powerful Iraqi Shi'ite Muslim armed groups have pledged to fight any deployment of U.S. forces to the country. It was unclear how they viewed the presence of Turkish soldiers.
