Davutoglu said if the Iraqi administration guarantees security in Mosul and in the border with Turkey, then the Turkish military presence will not be necessary in the neighboring nation.
The prime minister added that until that day, they will take measures for the national security, and nobody has to see that in a negative way.
Davutoglu said that Turkey's military presence in Bashika does not pose a threat to the territorial integrity of Iraq, and accused third nations of trying to damage the links between the two States.
Turkey insists that its troops protect a training camp for Iraqis in order to contribute to retaking the control of Mosul, which is currently in the hands of the ISIL.
However, Iraq claims that the Turkish military presence was not coordinated between the two parties and various lawmakers called the operation a violation of the national sovereignty.
