SULAYMANIYAH (Iraq) (Sputnik) – The Turks are training Kurdish units of the Peshmerga militia but are not supplying them with direct military support, Iraqi Kurdistan Parliament Speaker Yusuf Mohammed Sadiq said.
“The Turks are training Peshmerga, but Turkey is not supplying direct military support and is in no direct conflict with the Daesh. We’re not talking about direct help from Turkey to the Peshmerga in the fight against the Islamic State,” Sadiq said in an interview with RIA Novosti.
Sadiq added that Turkey is training its allies from a number of Arab peoples from Iraq’s Mosul “to capture and liberate the city.”
