The Turkish government intends to extend the National Army's presence on the border with northern Iraq to fight against terrorist organizations, the Turkish Anadolu news agency reported.
The Turkish Parliament will adopt a final decision to extend the service term of the Turkish forces in northern Iraq for one year.
In 2007, the Turkish General Staff began limited operation in the northern Iraq to fight against terrorists of Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK).
Every year, the Turkish government and parliament confirmed the extension of the National Army's presence in northern Iraq, where the military bases of the terrorist PKK are located.
