We welcome that Iraq’s fight against DEASH has been successfully brought to an end and we congratulate the Iraqi Government. We wish Allah’s mercy upon our Iraqi sisters and brothers who lost their lives to this end.

It is our assessment that decisive steps have to be taken to reconstruct the liberated areas, strengthen the capacity of Iraqi institutions and establish national conciliation among our Iraqi sisters and brothers in the upcoming period. It is important to carry out these efforts with an inclusive approach that embrace all segments of the Iraqi society.

Turkey will continue to act in cooperation and solidarity with the Iraqi government in every field in the post-DEASH era as during the struggle against DEASH.
