Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan holds meetings in Baghdad

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan visited Baghdad, meeting with Iraqi parliamentary speaker Heybet Halbusi and Hashd al-Shaabi Commission chairman Falih Fayyad. He also met with the Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zeydi, emphasizing the prime minister's vision for advancing relations with Turkey. Separately, the Turkish Embassy in Baku denied reports of secret meetings during Fidan's visit to Azerbaijan.

Fidan's diplomatic engagements in Iraq highlight Turkey's focus on regional stability and security, particularly concerning the Turkmen population. The denial from the Baku embassy addresses speculation that could complicate Turkey's foreign relations in the Caucasus.
