Iraqi Kurdish leader Massud Barzani visited Turkey on Wednesday as Ankara was embroiled in a crisis with Baghdad over the deployment of troops near an Islamic State group-held area in northern Iraq.
After arriving in Ankara, Barzani made an unannounced visit to Turkey's National Intelligence Organisation (MIT) and was to hold talks with spy chief Hakan Fidan, local media reported.
AFP reports that he will also meet President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu.
