Close the border? If they are talking on the Iraq-Syria border this is impossible. If the operation is as speculated in Tepe Bahar it will go for months even more than a year.
Sounds like bullshit on the border closing but let's see
Security meeting in Claw-Lock Zone
MSB: Our operations in northern Iraq are carried out in close coordination with Iraqi security units.
In this context, 2nd Army Commander Lieutenant General Metin Tokel and the accompanying delegation held a border security meeting with Iraqi local officials.
In the meeting held with Iraqi local officials within the borders of the Claw-Kilit Operation Zone, the security of the Iraq-Turkey border line was discussed, while measures to increase the security of Iraqi citizens were also discussed.
Army delegation met with the Iraqi border guard contingent up north. @Kartal1
Many sources confirm that operation will start soon. The meeting between MoFA, MIT Chief and MoND was a sign. One day after this the Second Army Commander is going to the operation area himself. This is very big! The meeting was held close to our position and both Iraqi Army and Peshmerga officials were there. Both Iraqi Army and Peshmerga were given tasks and reportedly the Iraqi Army was given a task of control over Sinjar.Security meeting in Claw-Lock Zone

Good eye, totally missed the KRG flag there. So it was a triple meeting of Turkey, Iraqi Army and KDP Peshmerga.Lmao they censored the flag on the guys arm on the official account as well. Is it really that important?
But when they post compromising media (opsec) they won't censor it
Erdoğan will also visit Iraq, both Erbil and Baghdad in April per reports. First time since 2012.Operation in Iraq will most probably start after Ramadan and after the elections are finished.

Potentially big. But the word terrorist was not used.
Woow! This is indeed big! I wonder what steps will Iran take regarding the whole situation and the Development Project they oppose.

PKK's Karayilan: We will deliver good news on Newroz
View attachment 66564
Pervin Buldan reads a letter from Ocalan in 2013
News Center - PKK Executive Committee Member Murat Karayilan announced that they will make an important statement in Newroz.
Murat Karayilan, one of the leading figures of the PKK, announced in an interview about the agenda that they will announce a “good news” with a written statement in the next few days.
"No one should vote for thieves, murderers, tyrants"
PKK Executive Committee Member Murat Karayilan called on voters to vote for not those who would enrich themselves, their families, their relatives, but those who would truly serve them.
“We will deliver good news to our people in the coming days”
Saying that they will deliver good news on Newroz, Karayilan used the following statements in this regard:
"Newroz also means a day of unity, struggle, resistance. On this occasion, I call on all the forces in Kurdistan; parties, organizations, patriotic persons to act for national unity. Today our people need national unity like water, like air, more than ever. In this historical period, the Kurdish people should have a common strategy and realize their national unity. Although some do not participate, those who participate will come and establish unity. That's very important. Newroz could be the beginning.
In this Newroz, the administration of our movement, will deliver good news to our people in the next few days. We will announce our good news with a written statement. These good news will be a tool that has an important role in raising our struggle. We will announce the news in the coming days."
The leader of the PKK in Imrali Prison, Abdullah Ocalan, called for a ceasefire in Newroz in 2013.
In a letter read by Pervin Buldan and Sirri Sureyya of BDP at the Newroz celebration in Diyarbakir by the leader of PKK, Ocalan asked the PKK to withdraw its armed forces from Turkey.
Abdullah Ocalan's letter read at the Newroz celebrations in 2014 and 2015, in Diyarbakir, reiterated his call to the PKK to end the armed struggle and enter into political struggle.
It may be something related to PUK, PJAK and PYD/YPG. By those who do not participate he may be sending references to KDP.Wonder if it's related to the development road, or a new ceasefire. His language regarding votes can't mean a ceasefire.
It is still very early to call it an alliance. Yes, it is important that PKK was listed as an outlaw organization by the Iraqi Central Government, but this is simply not enough. While it is a good start we want to see a concrete steps taken regarding the fight against PKK in all its realms.Are they trying to establish an axis of resistance against the new Iraqi-Turkish alliance?
