Turkish forces have been operating in Iraq helping to train local fighters, and earlier this month the military sent troops more to the Mosul area saying they were needed for protection.
That move angered the Iraqi government, which demanded Turkey withdraw its troops and threatened to take the matter to the United Nations. Two top Turkish officials went to Baghdad last week to try to defuse the situation, but Iraq continued to demand the new troops leave immediately.
Turkish state media said Monday's movement included 10-12 military vehicles as part of a convoy that was heading out of Mosul to the north.
