Vice-President of Iraqi Kurdistan Kosrat Rasul ordered to send to the province of Kirkuk 6 additional thousands of members of the Kurdish militia Peshmerga, Rudaw reported.

There are threats from the Iraqi army, which has deployed troops near Kirkuk, presumably to attack Kirkuk. But I do not believe that they can easily do it.

- declared Rasool.

According to the channel, tens of thousands of militia and security forces have already been deployed in the region.

Also, according to his data, the Iraqi army is planning to deploy troops to the territory north of the city of Mosul, which, like Kirkuk, is controlled by Kurdish armed forces peshmerga.

Well, not so simple.

Peshmerga deputy minister Sarbest Lazgin said during a meeting about the recent military mobilization of the Iraqi army in northern Mosul and near the disputed Kurdish regions south of Kirkuk.
Lazgin called on the US to take immediate action to prevent any unwanted confrontation.
At the meeting, the US ambassador assured the Kurdish authorities that Washington would continue to monitor and resolve the situation. He also urged Baghdad not to provoke further tension.
Earlier Wednesday, the Kurdistan Security Council reported that the Iraqi army, Shiite militia "Hashd al-Shaabi" and federal police forces are preparing to conduct a "major attack" at the Peshmerga position in southern Kirkuk and north of Mosul.
The confrontation almost started on Thursday between Peshmerga and Hashd al-Shaabi in the Tuz-Hurmatu area. It was prevented after warnings of the KRG and as a result of warning flights of international coalition aircraft, constantly plying over the line of a possible collision.

Until the Kurds create their own state ... and it has actually already been created ... there is a shaking of borders, so to speak, there will always be a temptation to return everything as it was ... but the gin is emptied out of the bottle and it cannot be driven back ...

Specialists in this region warn that a new outbreak of conflict with the Kurds is not ruled out. Chaos will continue even in the absence of ISIS. And to whom is it profitable in this region? Only to Americans.

Captain, please explain to me why Belarusians, Kyrgyz and Tajiks have the right to their own state, and the Kurds do not.

Aron, did I write that the Kurds do not have the right to their own state (with 40 million all over the world)?

Then why did the Kurdish struggle for independence, which has been going on since the beginning of the 20 century, prove to be beneficial only to the USA?

Do Kurds need their independence only for the USA and Israel?

In 2014, ISIS captured Kirkuk. The government army fled. In the same year, the Kurds of Kirkuk were recaptured from ISIS. It’s like their military trophy. The province has a lot of oil. Now that ISIS is defeated, the Shiites want Kirkuk back. But they are unlikely to receive ...

Of course, "What is taken with the battle is holy!" . They took it, but you also need to hold it, or give it more expensive, more profitable. The Syrians will be able to fight back - well done, but it is better to agree with the Kurds. Kurdistan will be. It should be. And neighbors are better off having less contentious issues and resentment among themselves. Especially in such a region and at such a time. You need to negotiate in order to get another ally, and not another enemy.

Kurds - well done!
