    Internal-security integration into the Interior Ministry is one of the civilian files left open by the January 2026 agreement. Interior-ministry units deployed into the north-eastern cities from February 2026 with Kurdish policing reported as continuing until a merger is completed, so the relationship is a transition in progress rather than a settled one.
