Country whose capital is Baghdad (4)

I believe the answer is:

iraq

(Other definitions for iraq that I've seen before include "Country containing ancient Mesopotamia" , "Mosul's country" , "Mesopotamia was its former name" , "Putter, perhaps" , "troubled state" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
