| Turkey and the United States have been quietly cooperating in Iraq. Turkish and U.S. forces have coordinated in missions in northern Iraq. Hundreds of Turkish soldiers have been integrated into a coalition force that patrols the Kurdish areas of Iraq near the Kurdish border. The joint U.S.-Turkish force is called the Joint Iraqi Security Company. Turkish special operations forces have joined the U.S. Army’s 101st Airborne Division for the mission. The U.S.-Turkish company has its headquarters in Mosul in northern Iraq. U.S. officials said the Turkish and American soldiers have not encountered any serious problems. |
