The fight against terrorism, security and military cooperation issues were discussed at the security summit held in Baghdad, the capital of Iraq, with the participation of Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan, National Defense Minister Yaşar Güler and National Intelligence Organization Director İbrahim Kalın.
