"We have come to an agreement with coalition forces that our air force will join the Mosul operation," Anadolu cited him as saying.

When asked to evaluate Turkey being invited to a meeting on Mosul in Paris in the coming days, Isik said: "It is impossible to decide on Mosul's future without Turkey."
