The story surrounding 150-200 Peshmerga fighters from Iraq’s Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) heading to Syria remains unclear, with the latest reports saying that the Peshmerga will never actually enter Kobani or take any direct role in the fighting there.
Rather, the Peshmerga will be used to provide artillery support for the Kurdish fighters already in Kobani, who are trying to keep ISIS fighters from seizing the town and the border crossing into Turkey.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan says that the decision came from the Syrian Kurdish fighters affiliated with the PYD, claiming they don’t want the Peshmerga to replace them as the dominant faction there.
Erdogan went on to claim that the PYD were the reason the number of fighters has been reduced, and that the Peshmerga offered 500 troops, but the PYD would accept no more than 155, and only in a support role.
The reliability of Erdogan’s claims must be questioned, because his government is on extremely poor terms with the PYD, which is considered a terrorist organization in Turkey. Still, the disconnect between Syrian and Iraqi Kurds is a long-standing reality, and the explanation could be plausible.
The reliability and Erdogan (or any other name from his Neo-Ottoman bunch) do not belong in the same sentence.
How can Iraq ever achieve freedom when so many groups want their own little dictatorship on their own little piece of land?
The answers is depending who you ask, if you ask Joe Biden which stands for braking Iraq, or the European social democrats whom are supporting Barzani wanting for him to have his kingdoms or Israel government that supports Barzani or if you ask the European Neo fascism like that Danish former head of NATO Anders Fogh Rasmussen whom politics is anti Kurdish or any other progressive movement in the region, Kurdish resistance movement looking for a real independent from western deceptive Middle East politics, you will end up with Turkish Erdogan regime whom rather kill all Kurdish people by helping ISIS rather then give a inch of Kurdish land to be governed by Kurdish people, in another word, as long as these anti democratic elements pushing for ISIS growth no one would have any rights to exist. These anti democracy forces are after everyone that are for their freedom from western deceptive politics, which is the reason for ISIS still around, if is not for Saudi and Jordanian or turkish government wher would ISIS get their weapon from?
