On 30 September, Al-Ahad TV (AAH — official) captioned Qais al-Khazali, AAH’s secretary-general, as saying sovereignty had been achieved through resistance and politics. The outlet separately described steps “from America to Turkey” toward full sovereignty, reported that Baghdad was beginning to take over the Zilkan camp, and quoted Turkish political analyst Yusuf Katipoglu on an understanding for gradual Turkish withdrawal. Khazali’s caption does not itself address the reported Turkish arrangement.

“Turkish political analyst Yusuf Katipoglu told Al-Ahad there are understandings between Baghdad and Ankara on gradual withdrawal of Turkish forces at the Zilkan base.”

The distinction separates AAH’s leader’s sovereignty claim from a Turkish-withdrawal account attributed to a guest, rather than treating both as one AAH statement.
