No Peshmarga force is sent to Syria Kurdistan: Iraqi FM
19.8.2013 – Kurdpress – No Peshmarga, military force of Kurdistan Region of Iraq, is deployed to Syria Kurdish regions, Iraqi foreign Ministry Hoshyar Zebari said.
It seems impossible that any Kurdish Peshmarga force will be sent to Syria Kurdistan after clashes erupted between People’s Defense Units (YPG), military branch of pro-Kurdish Democratic Union Party (PYD), and Islamist extremist group of Jabhat al-Nusra Front. – Zebari’s comment come weeks after Kurdistan Region President Massoud Barzani said if the Peshmarga forces were needed, they would be sent to Syria Kurdistan.
