自从达伊沙开始占领摩苏尔以来，土耳其就一直向伊拉克提供军事援助。这种援助是在各个层面提供的，其中之一就是摩苏尔Bashiqa的一个训练营。我们经伊拉克政府请求，与地方当局设立了这个训练营。在Bashiqa，土耳其军方人员训练伊拉克志愿人员，他们将成为摩苏尔国民卫队的核心成员。早在2014年，伊拉克军队就失去了安巴尔和摩苏尔当地民众的信任，而且显然无意作战。这导致2014年6月摩苏尔抵抗达伊沙的防卫战迅速崩溃。当时，我们大家商定要组建国民卫队。关于没人注意到土耳其在伊拉克境内开展军事训练活动的说法，很难让人接受。我们曾在不同的场合就此通告了我们的合作伙伴和伊拉克官员。由于我方在Bashiqa的军事人员日益受到威胁，我们决定增强我国在该营地部队的保护部门。不幸的是，这个问题已经被断章取义，派出部队的人数被夸大。考虑到伊拉克方面的关切，土耳其立即采步骤缓解局势。在这方面，我们立即停止了所有进一步对Bashiqa增兵的做法。12月5日，土
Turkey has extended military assistance to Iraq since the beginning of the Daesh occupation of Mosul. That has been taking place at various levels, one being the training camp in Bashiqa, Mosul. We set up that camp in conjunction with the local authorities and upon the request of the Iraqi Government. In Bashiqa, members of the Turkish military have been training Iraqi volunteers who will constitute the core of the Mosul national guard. Back in 2014, the Iraqi Army did not have the trust of the local population in Anbar or Mosul, and it was apparently very reluctant to fight. That led to a rapid collapse of the defence against Daesh in Mosul in June 2014. At that time, we all agreed on the formation of the national guard units. It is hard to accept the notion that Turkey’s military training efforts in Iraq have gone unnoticed. We have informed our partners and Iraqi officials of it on various occasions. Owing to the increasing threats to our military personnel in Bashiqa, we decided to reinforce the force protection component of our units in the camp.
