ALBAWABA - President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said that Turkey is nearing the end of its military operations in Northern Iraq. "The separatist group cannot operate inside our boundaries. Iraq and Syria have trapped the gang. He stated Operation Claw in Northern Iraq is approaching its end.

Erdogan made these statements during the graduation ceremony for the 12th and 6th Joint Command and Staff Trainings at the National Defense University.

President Erdoğan celebrated the graduation of 181 officers, including 54 from friendly nations. He wished all the officers who finished their training at the university's military institutes success and renewed trust.

We consider guest officers honorary ambassadors. We see them representing their country in top military positions in the future, according to Erdoğan. He also trusted the graduates' high-quality education to assist them in their military careers.

After the July 15 coup attempt, the National Defense University was founded and is currently successful. "Our students are being trained in the best possible way to meet the changing needs of our military," Erdoğan stated. He stressed civil-military collaboration and the university's influence on Turkey's military strategy.

Erdoğan emphasized Turkey's progress and continued support for the National Defense University. As the world and Turkey evolve, so do our dangers. The military education system must also change. He emphasized that national defense would not regress.
