了所有进一步对Bashiqa增兵的做法。12月5日，土耳其国防部长与其伊拉克对应方进行了交谈，向他保证，在伊拉克政府的关切获得解答之前，不进一步对Bashiqa增派兵力。12月6日，阿赫梅特·达武特奥卢外长就此事致函其对应方海达尔 •阿尔阿巴迪，明确解释了我国在Bashiqa的军事人员的作用和职能。12月8日，达武特奥卢外长与其伊拉克对应方作了交谈，向其详细解释指出，我国在Bashiqa的军事人员没有受权发挥任何作战作用。12月10日，外交部次长和情报局长作为达武特奥总理的特使访问了巴格达，与阿巴迪总理、外交部长贾法里和国防部长奥贝迪进行了广泛的交谈。在这几次会见中，我们重申，我国尊重伊拉克的主权和领土完整。我们还重申了我国决心维持我们对伊拉克政府打击达伊沙斗争所提供的支持。
Unfortunately, that issue has been taken out of context and the number of troops that was dispatched exaggerated. Taking into consideration the Iraqi side’s concerns, Turkey immediately took steps to de-escalate the matter. In that regard, we immediately stopped all further reinforcements in Bashiqa. On 5 December, our Defence Minister spoke to his Iraqi counterpart and assured him that there would be no further reinforcements in Bashiqa until the concerns of the Iraqi Government were answered. On 6 December, Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu sent a letter to his counterpart, Haidar Al Abadi, on the issue and clearly explained the role and functions of the Turkish personnel in Bashiqa. On 8 December, Foreign Minister Çavuşoğlu spoke to his Iraqi counterpart and provided him with a detailed explanation that our military personnel in Bashiqa had not been given any combat role. On 10 December, the Under-Secretary of the Foreign Ministry and the Chief of Intelligence visited Baghdad as special envoys of Prime Minister Davutoğlu and conducted extensive talks with Prime Minister Al Abadi, Foreign Minister Ja-afari and Defence Minister Al-Obeidi. In those meetings, our respect for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Iraq was reconfirmed. Our determination to maintain the support that we have been providing to the Iraqi Government in its struggle against Daesh was also reaffirmed.
